Seems my skepticism is true. Now there are news coming out stating that the reported £3bn yacht purchased by a anon Malaysian businessman is not true. This is not surprising since the news originated from the UK. Some newspaper even went across the line in order to get the latest news (or should I say scandal). News of the World phone-hacking scandal is a prime example.
Abramovic's Eclipse
The first thing that came to my mind when I first heard the news was how would a £3billion yacht look like? The closest thing that I could find is an artist impression of a £700mn yacht.The biggest yacht known is owned by Chelsea F.C owner, Roman Abramovic. The size of his 'Eclipse' is 557 foot.
Artist impression of a £700mn yacht
"The 500-foot behemoth is called ‘Streets of Monaco’, and is actually modeled after the European principality, a haven for billionaires. On the top deck will be replicas of famous Monaco landmarks like the Monte Carlo Casino, Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, La Rascasse, and Loews Hotel, as well as a fully functional go-kart circuit based on the Monaco Grand Prix race track. Other extravagant bells and whistles include multiple swimming pools, a swim-in Jacuzzi bar, a multi-use court for tennis and basketball, a ‘dance hall’, a spa with a hair salon, and enough space to accommodate 16 guests and 70 staff. And don’t forget the submarine and helipad." - Clare O'Connor
