The Octopus use to be the biggest, about 100ft shorter.

From what I've read, Mega yachts usually take 10% of their cost to upkeep per year. It's safe to say that boat costs 15-30 million dollars to dock, clean, staff and fuel per year, depending on how far he travels.

Albramovich sure is a fascinating man ....I wonder if his extreme ostentatiousness is the result of his very humble beginnings

While Gates and Buffett are busy giving their colossal wealth away, Albramovich continues to amaze with his extraordinary capacity for self-indulgence. While I don't have an issue with it, I don't really understand it either.

My mega-yacht is under construction. It will dwarf this puny boat. Here's a pic.

Good for him. I don't see a problem with self-indulgence at all. Somewhere someone is already planning on making Albramovich's new mega yacht small time.

"Russia's richest man has flourished under president Vladimir Putin, with critics saying he used his government ties to take over former state-owned assests and reap the profits for personal use."

Insane. Props to him I guess. Teh submarine escape pod is awesome. Would be cool if there was an elevator from his state room straight down to it.He could almost be a Bond villain.

Instead of jump trumping each other by a few feet someone should just get it over and done with and make their own cruise ship sized boat, 1,100 ft like Freedom of the Seas.
