"My father @FemiOtedola always dreamt to visit the super-yacht CHRISTINA O owned by his role model Onassis. And now at 60, he has chartered it for the next 3 weeks to share with his loved ones! This is what love looks like  #FamilyFirst Chase your dreams, you never know…"

Cuppy has always lamented that the men she hooks up with always are awestruck by the billionaire.
