The only billion dollar yacht will be Triple Deuce '222' metres and may be finished in 2018. eclipse was 250-300 million gbp yacht when finished in 2009.
Yeah b
ks. Although i don't doubt a 200m yacht in the future.M/Y Azzam is currently the most expensive item any individual has ever purchased, at €600m.

Bad start to the new year for the owners of the The One and Barbie.
They'd better get to pumping the water out quick from the list on Barbie.

That looks horrendous. Bad start to the new year for the owners of the The One and Barbie.

The fire had to have started on one of them so why did the other not just get the hell out. Surely there is crew on board at all times.

It takes us an hour to get our boat moving and that is with all the crew and some organisation.Steve
Minimum in port manning is just a few people and usually the people that know how to drive are the first ashore...

There is currently a large yacht moored up in canary wharf as of today, according to Twitter is called Ilona. There is a tower blocking the full view from my current office, but it is long enough to be poking out from either side

I went on some `ordinary' (as in not bespoke) multi million pound motor yachts at the Southampton boat show last year, and the design work and craftsmanship was remarkable, but in some cases so good, one hardly registered being on a yacht, as it felt more like being in a first class hotel, than on a boat. This seemed to diminish the whole point of it being a boat.
I also saw programs run at Christmas on how the super rich spend their money, and it seems that despite having billions, their lives are still riddled with angst, because if they have a yacht/car/mansion/jet etc it HAS to be the BEST in the world otherwise they feel they are a failure, and become miserable. Some had superb houses, or yachts dotted around the best locations in the world with staff of up to 20 -30 people resident in them who had never even visited them once!!!
Since everyone dies (even the mega rich) at some point, the more they have the more they will leave behind when they pop their clogs. All the above got me to thinking that to enjoy life to the max, all one has to have, is enough of the readies to do the things we want, without having to `worry' too much about the cash.
As the saying goes, anything more than that (a good handful) is really just a waste.

See Lagom or perhaps wabi-sabi. No doubt there are others.
Not to say if I suddenly found myself with a spare 10 million smackeroonies I wouldn't buy something most would consider very expensive, but the boat that impressed me most at the Southampton boat show last year was the Nordhavn 64, at only about 1.6million GBP. Anything more I don't need.
