The largest private yacht in the world. The largest yachts in the world
It is a yacht bobbing lazily on the waves somewhere in the Mediterranean that fantasy draws when we imagine what wealth looks like. The price tags for the coolest yachts in the world are off scale and only truly wealthy people can afford to buy them. But even knowing this, it's hard to believe that someone really managed to spend on a yacht ... 4.8 billion dollars!
Meet it History Supreme, and it was she who was awarded the status of "The Most Expensive Yacht in the World". The construction of the author's design under the guidance of the eccentric Mr. Hughes (the creator of the most expensive suit, the most expensive iPad and iPhone) took 3 years. During this time, it was possible to create a yacht worth more than the total price of at least 5 other most expensive yachts in the 2016 rating.
What justifies the price? Elementary. Each rail, deck, ladder, dining table and even ship's anchor of this billionaire yacht is "wrapped" in the purest gold or platinum with a total weight of 100 kilograms. Rumor has it that inside the yacht you can find a statue made of nothing more than the bones of a T-Rex (the same Tyrannosaurus rex). In the decoration of the master bedroom of the billionaire yacht there is a natural meteorite stone. In addition, the yacht is decorated with a 68-kilogram golden aquarium. Well, for those who want to feel filled with luxury in the literal sense, a bottle of liquor is offered. This is a vessel actually filled with 18.5 carats of diamonds. Who else wants something stronger for $45 million?
Expensive yachts of the world should not be left without owners, and the public “suspects” Malaysian billionaire Robert Kuok of owning a yacht. Kuok's current fortune is $17.5 billion. Apparently, the “sugar king of Asia” (if in fact, it is he who is the owner of History Supreme) can really afford the coolest yachts in the world and even more.
Expensive yachts of the world
The History Supreme is the most expensive, but by no means the only yacht on the planet that has found itself in the center of intense, admiring and, to tell the truth, a little envious media attention. Dozens of business publications regularly compile official ratings, which include only the most demanding and expensive yachts in the world. Apparently, the "racing for luxury" is really exciting - the top expensive yachts can number in the hundreds of copies. And participation in the unofficial "competition" is taken by millionaires and billionaires from all over the world, dreaming of getting into the coveted list. What does the top expensive yachts look like today?

The yacht Streets of Monaco resembles a city on the water, even small country. The designers really recreated the streets of Monaco here with its smaller copies of luxury hotels, casinos, Cafe de Paris restaurant, La Rascasse night bar and even a go-kart track that repeats the route of the Monaco Grand Prix track. At the heart of the Streets of Monaco is the "Atrium", linking the lower and upper living spaces, which include seven guest rooms, each with a bedroom, bathroom and balcony. Despite the huge area of the vessel (almost 1.5 thousand square meters), no more than 16 guests can rest here.
However, while no one walks along the “streets of Monaco” - the yacht does not belong to anyone.
The ship, created in 2011 by the British company The Yacht Island, turned out to be so unusual that it is still waiting for its buyer. It is moored in one of the Turkish ports.
It still remains the largest in the world. Its length is 180 meters. Construction of the steel giant took 28 months. The cost of construction was 620 million US dollars.
Its size is amazing. Just imagine: 180 meters is two football fields or 12 railway wagons. At the same time, Azzam can easily accelerate to a maximum speed of 30 knots (55 km/h). This is assisted by two gas turbines with a total capacity of 94,000 hp, four water jets and a Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged diesel engine with a capacity of 108,920 hp. (80,088 kW).
It is the largest engine in the world: it is 27.1 m long, 13.4 m high and weighs over 2,300 tons. Originally designed for container ships, it is ideal for a 180-meter mega-yacht, whose width is 20 m , and the estimated maximum draft is 4.8 m. There is no doubt that with such dimensions, there is enough space left on board the mega-yacht to realize any fantasies of the customer. Even her main salon has no analogues in the world: length - 29 m, width 18 m.
The customer and current owner of the Azzam yacht is Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu Dhabi, whose fortune is estimated by Forbes at $15 billion. The construction of the vessel was preceded by a design competition, in which the exterior from the Milanese studio Nauta Yacht Design and the interior from the French designer Christophe Leoni won. The technical management of the building was carried out by Burgess Yachts. The chief engineer was Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi.
It is known that the style in which the interiors of Azzam are decorated is close to the neoclassicism of the early 19th century, the time of the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. In the absence of photographs from the board of the mega-yacht - no one has yet been able to obtain them, even reputable international yachting publications - one can imagine something reminiscent of the imperial bedrooms at Versailles.
Registered as a charter yacht, however, there is no open information about the possibility and cost of her charter anywhere. It is extremely rare to find a yacht in the Arabian Sea, even less often in the Mediterranean. In May 2015, eyewitnesses managed to see her passing Gibraltar. Currently – and most of the year – Azzam is moored at Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi.
