As ever, it is good to be the prince

USAToday has a CNBC article about a sick guy with (fortunately for him) a lot of money:

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com and the new owner of The Washington Post, was flown from the Galápagos by an Ecuadorian navy helicopter after suffering a kidney stone attack on New Year's day, according to a summary of reports from local newspapers.
The Galápagos Digital website said local media reported Bezos was flown from Academy Bay in Santa Cruz Island, where he was aboard a cruise ship, to his private jet on Baltra Island. He was then taken to the US for emergency treatment.
The website's summary was written by retired NBC News correspondent George Lewis.
Attempts to reach Amazon.com for confirmation of the local reports were not immediately successful.
