Default Abramovich's new toy

Amazing how a guy can lose so much wealth in the recent downturn and his new toy has just rolled out lol

http://www.yachtspotter.com/focard3.php?foo=FC012

170m's long and 13000 gross tons that is huge for a yacht and will be by far the largest privatly owned yacht in the world

AFAIK thats his 4th one but the biggest so far (his shortest is 'only' 50m long)
one even has surface to air missiles apparently. he features in that mega yacht
program on mtv. his private Boeing 757 lands at Gatwick (where i work) and is usualy met by 2 identical helicopters (painted to match the A/C)

so i dont think he's exactly broke.......

Roman has something like four of the largest ten yachts in the world. He 'gave' one of them to his mate IIRC....

Technically it is, however it is owned by an individual and used purely for there own pleasure.

It will have to comply with merchant shipping requirements.

Truly amazing! So much money out there for some people. I just want a little slice of it

Imagine owing that, he must get up in the morning with a big smile and think, " yeah i have made it".

WOW
