As has become commonplace in the modern lifestyle of the rich and famous, billionaires all over the world are hiring Instagram models to serve as eye candy aboard luxury yachts, private jets, and other examples big business debauchery. This venture turned deadly for Alberto Baillères, as he learned early Friday morning when Sinead McNamara’s body was found amidst a web of ropes on the back of his massive yacht. Though Baillerès was reportedly not on board at the time of McNamara’s death, the boat was under investigation by Greek authorities, preventing him from leaving port until Monday, September 4.
