Heart-pounding moment Steve Jobs' widow's $140M megayacht SMASHES into another monster vessel owned by telecoms billionaire - as terrified crew screams to steer before jumping for cover

Stunning footage captured the moment a $140 million megayacht owned by Steve Jobs' widow smashed into another monster vessel owned by a Mexican telecom billionaire. 

The high-value crash involved the 78-meter Venus, commissioned by the late Apple founder and now owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, and the 105-meter Lady Moura, owned by Mexican billionaire business titan Ricardo Salinas.   

The two liners, that cost a combined $265 million, slammed into each other after a vicious gust of wind off the Italian coast of Naples put them on a collision course. 

Dramatic video posted on social media and taken from the Lady Moura reveals the moment the two boats came into contact, as crewmembers were heard screaming over the impending damage.

Both crews blamed the other for the major blunder, with Salinas admitting on social media that it is 'going to cost a lot to fix' the mistake 

Both vessels were anchored when the incident unfolded, but it did little to stop them careening into each other as high winds were heard over the microphone in the footage. 

The two yachts came into contact July 22nd after a sudden burst of wind that hit 55 knots after the breeze suddenly picked up, a source for the crew of the Venus told DailyMail.com.

Powell Jobs wasn't aboard when her crew brought her $140 million ship into port, where it was the last vessel to arrive.

Unbeknownst to the captain and crew, the $125 million Lady Moura had dropped anchor with double the amount of expected anchor chain, according to the Venus crew. 

Neither vessel dragged anchor when the wind picked up. But with anchor lines of different lengths, the two vessels collided -- with an impact that Salinas says will cost big bucks.

Job's superyacht, seen off the coast of Capri in late July, cost $140 million and was meticulously designed by the late Apple founder 

Salinas' $125 million Lady Moura, seen in Cannes in 2004, was accused of dropping its anchor too deep, causing it to collide with the Venus 

Video taken from the Moura that Salinas posted online could suggest that it is the Venus approaching the larger vessel. But according to the Venus crew, it was the Lady Moura with her longer anchor line who swung into the Venus.

A ball on the bow of the Venus – which is visible in the video posted by Salinas –indicates she was at anchor at the time of the incident. 

The two captains spoke after the incident, concluding it was a minor incident that needed repairs, according to the Venus. 

Salinas' take was that the Venus was at fault, and that it would cost more than a few iPhones to get the Lady Moura ship shape.

Writing in Spanish, the billionaire said he'd like to know what was happening with the captain and crew that they weren't able to see 'a yacht the size of [his] right in front of them.'

'The good thing is that it was nothing more than a scratch. But it was a big scratch it's going to cost a lot to fix it,' he wrote, ending with 'ha, ha, ha' that suggests he was putting it behind him.

Emerson Collective founder Laurene Powell Jobs was not on board the ship during the incident

Salinas, one of the richest men in Mexico, posted a video and blamed the crew of the Venus, which was at anchor during the collision

Salinas also took the opportunity to insult those involved, saying he shared the video so people can see there are 'still idiots in the world.' 

Then he made a pitch for one of his many companies, elektra.mx, urging people to buy Apple products to help pay for the repairs.

Powell Jobs inherited her yacht, which was meticulously designed by French designer Philippe Starck in collaboration with her late husband - who is famous for devoting himself to minute design details of things he owned and products he sold. 

The sleek boat, named after the Roman goddess of beauty, is made of aluminum and features a minimalist design that includes 40-foot ceilings and six identically sized bedrooms.
