25 Most Expensive Yachts Ever Built
We’ve already brought you the 25 most insane concept yachts on Earth. Unfortunately, however, you won’t see too many of those on the water…they’re just concepts. The yachts you are about to see on the other hand, have nothing conceptual about them. They are the largest, most lavish toys on the planet and not surprisingly they belong to some of the world’s wealthiest individuals. These are the 25 most expensive yachts ever built. (H/T: List 25)

Price: $46 million
Coming with novelties like a fireplace and a library, as amazing as this yacht is it’s absolutely nothing compared to the rest of this list.
24. Le Grand Bleu

The first of what seems like an entire fleet owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abromavich, the Grand Bleu is actually one of the more modest yachts on this list.
23. Tatoosh
Price: $100 million
Owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, Tattosh is currently on the market so for those of you with a couple million dollars just lying around…

Price: $103 million
With 15 staterooms this megayacht can easily hold over 50 people not including the crew.

Price: $161.8 million
Originally built by Fincanteri, the Italian shipping yard, this megayacht comes with swimming pools, a spa, and a designated business area.
15. Octopus

Evidently running a global software company requires more than just one measly yacht. This time Paul Allen is back with the Octopus, a megayacht equipped with not one but two submarines.
14. Ecstasea
Price: $200 million
The only thing cooler than this yachts name is the fact that no one knows who owns it. While it was formerly in the hands of Roman Abramovich, it has been sold to an undisclosed buyer.
13. Al Salamah

Late Saudi Arabian defense minister Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz really upped the ante when he included an indoor pool with a glass roof on this megayacht.
12. Rising Sun

With 82 rooms, a basketball court, and a movie theater David Geffen, the famous media mogul, barely needs to leave his ship.
11. Seven Seas

09. Lady Moura

08. Al Mirqab

You know what they say about people with big names…big yachts. Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani, former Prime Minister of Qatar, owns this quarter billion dollar monster.
07. Dilbar
Price: $256 millionMet
Owned by yet another Russian mafioso *ahem* sorry, businessman, this yacht is often used by Alisher Usmanov to pay visits to his private islands.
06. Al Said
Price: $300 million
Not much is known about one of the most private yachts in the world except that it’s owned by Said al Said, the Sultan of Oman, and that it has a concert hall big enough to house a 50 piece orchestra.
05. Superyacht A
Price:$323 million
When you are Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko you can name your yacht whatever you want, including your first initial. And just in case you were wondering about the interesting design, it’s so that he can cut through ice bergs like a boss.
04. Dubai
Price: $300 million
Owned by Shiek Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, this floating city is appropriately named.
03. Streets of Monaco

02. Eclipse
Price: $800 million
Going back to pay our friend Roman Abromavich a visit we might find him aboard his nearly billion dollar mega yacht, the Eclipse. We’re still not really sure what sets it apart more though – the anti-missile defense system or the paparazzi zapping laser that scans the horizon for cameras and fires beams of light into their lenses destroying them completely.
1. History Supreme
Price: $4.8 billion
It almost hurts doesn’t it? Made with over 100,000 kg of gold and decorated with everything from T-Rex bones to miniature meteorites this unfortunate case of what-the-heck-do-I-do-with-5-billion-dollars is owned by an anonymous Malaysian businessman, probably Robert Kuok.
