Yachts of Russian millionaires. New super-yacht of the Russian oligarch, trimmed from the inside with shark and crocodile skin

How many yachts does Roman Abramovich have and what is their price?

In 2010. after launching " Eclipse»Topped the list of the most expensive yachts on the planet. The construction price for Roman was almost $ 400 million. But the final estimate increased the price almost 3 times and amounted to $ 1.2 billion. The technical equipment, luxury items, as well as the yacht's security system have given such an increase in price.

Note.
The most interesting thing is that before the construction Eclipse Abramovich was already the owner of several floating facilities. The price tag of them was, of course, much more modest. The businessman bought the first two ships at the end of the 20th century from the oligarch Boris Berezovsky. After that, 20 months later, the oligarch woke up with a wild passion for these sea giants and the businessman buys a fifty-meter Sussurro for forty-nine million US dollars. The ship was serviced by a staff of ten people, and about five million dollars is the approximate cost of servicing a yacht per year.

Appetites grew and already at the end of 2002 Roman acquired another ship Olympia(Olympia). The length of the new yacht was slightly longer and was already 60 meters in length. The price tag was already astonishing, fifty million and an additional investment of $ 5 million to improve the new means of transportation.


Yacht owner Pelorus worth almost 8 billion rubles, Roman became in 2003. The time elapsed since the purchase of the first yachts has only increased the passion for watercraft. Abramovich invested about three hundred million rubles in the improvement of the yacht. Despite the fact that the yachts were bought on the secondary market, they were very luxurious and everyone would envy. Without thinking twice, a Russian businessman, and today an Israeli citizen, buys an incredible floating palace. The price tag, of course, was slightly less than the previous purchase, but still impressive - a little less than 7 billion rubles. The length of the yacht amazed everyone, 108 meters.


Yachts Pelorus and Le grand blue even then they were included in the list of the largest yachts in the world and shared 8th and 9th places.


By 2004, the oligarch was ready to order a new vessel. The first yacht was made for Roman to order, and not bought from hands. The name of the ship was the cost of which was $ 123 US. The speed of movement is about 40 knots. The vessel fell into the category of "royal class".


All yachts were "warm-up" for Roman Arkadyevich. The pearl of the collection is the yacht Eclipse, which translated from English means Eclipse. The dimensions of the ship are amazing - the largest ship ever built on the planet.


Every Russian seeing Eclipse literally speechless. An insanely expensive, powerful and naturally magnificent yacht, owned by the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, was built in Hamburg by the Blohm and Voss shipyard.


Dimensions are not the only advantage of the vessel, Eclipse made with the latest technology, the equipment is simply amazing:

- Several boats for absenteeism.
- Twenty scooters for the entertainment of friends.
- Two landing sites for helicopters and, accordingly, helicopters included.
- Own small boat for diving to a depth of twelve guests.
- Own air defense system.
- Bulletproof windows in bedrooms and cabins.
- Special equipment that will interfere if you decide to take photos or videos.

The largest yacht in the world was arrested for debt. The owner of the snow-white eight-decker, who was arrested, is a Russian oligarch, founder of MDM Bank, owner of three Krasnoyarsk thermal power plants and the country's largest coal producer, SUEK, Andrey Melnichenko.

“Hundreds of people are amazed by the look and size giant yacht that entered the Strait of Gibraltar ", - wrote foreign media a week ago. A couple of days later, Yacht A, which really looks more like a military cruiser than a cruise ship, was on the news again.

The largest yacht in the world adorns the collection of luxury cruise ships belonging to the 44-year-old oligarch Andrey Melnichenko, whose assets include Eurochem (90% of shares), Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK, 92%), Siberian Generating Company (LLC SGK, 92%), and the fortune is estimated at 13.4 billion euros (this is 11 -th place in the Russian list and 139th place in the world ranking of billionaires by Forbes).

On February 5, yacht “A” left the port of Kiel in Germany and headed to Spain, where finishing works, running and acceptance tests are to be carried out. However, since February 18, the yacht has been under the control of the Gibraltar Admiralty, where Sailing Yacht A entered for refueling. The claim was filed by the Nobiskrug shipyard. German shipbuilders claim that they have not received a final installment of 9.8 million euros from the customer, and 2.6 and 2.9 million euros have not been paid to subcontractors. The total debt of Valla Yachts Limited, through which Melnichenko's order was received, thus reaches 15.3 million euros. According to the contract, the money had to be deposited before January 27.

Yacht "A" 2008 was also designed for Andrey Melnichenko by Philippe Starck

The largest yacht in the world

Sailing Yacht A costs about $ 400 million and was designed by the famous (almost legendary) French Philip Starck... It took four years to build the ship.

Until now, the largest yachts were considered Eos (93 m) and Maltese Falcon (88 m), but the creation of Philippe Starck and German shipbuilders set a new record, both in terms of dimensions and technical equipment of the vessel. The length of the yacht "A" is 142.5 meters, the width is 25 meters, the total sail area is 3700 sq. meters (this is half of a football field), the height of the three carbon fiber masts is 91 meters. Inside one of these masts is a room that is accessed by a spiral staircase. However, to raise the sails, you do not need to climb up - there is a special button for this. But sails are not always needed: the ship has two powerful diesel engines and two electric motors. And the captain does not stand at the helm, but controls the yacht using the touch panel. By the way, some innovative technologies developed specifically for yacht "A" can be licensed - this will help partially offset the costs of its design and construction.

"A", allegedly named after the oligarch's wife, a former Serbian model Alexandra (Sandra) Nikolic, can receive up to 20 guests on board. They have a spa club, a beach with three pools, a garage for four cars (if you need to go ashore) and a submarine for sea voyages. A special room, equipped in the lower deck, allows observation of the life of the sea depths through a panoramic camera, and one of the decks is set aside for a helipad. It took 1,300 trunks of expensive teak wood to finish the yacht.

The yacht is serviced by a crew of 54 people. The cabin of Andrei Melnichenko himself, as the press writes, is protected by bullet-proof glass; for security purposes, 50 video surveillance cameras are also installed on the ship. Cruising speed "A" - 20.8 knots (about 40 km / h), displacement - more than 12,000 tons.

Yacht “A” of 2008 is the most attractive and repulsive ship in the world, according to WSJ.com

"Unpleasant episode"

This is how Andrey Melnichenko's lawyers assess the situation with yacht “A”, who are sure that the arrest from the vessel will be lifted within a few days. The issue of non-payment falls under arbitration in the UK, where it will be considered (home port "A" - Hamilton in Bermuda). At the same time, representatives of the oligarch say that they are amazed by the actions of Nobiskrug: some issues with the shipyard really remained unsettled, but no one shied away from discussing them. “We assumed that the case was moving towards mutual agreement and sending the yacht to Spain”, - the lawyers comment. In particular, the representative of Andrey Melnichenko Alex Andreev told the media that the funds, until the situation is resolved, were transferred to a special deposit account.

And 9, and even 15.3 million dollars with a total capital of 13 billion do not look serious. But it may be that this is not the only debt associated with yacht "A". Before leaving for the Pyrenees, the ship called at the Norwegian port of Kristianssen for two days. Some commentators do not exclude that the route was specially laid in such a way as to "save" 70 million VAT along the way. A yacht manufactured in Germany for a foreign customer is subject to taxation in the country of operation. This rule was introduced by the German financial service to avoid double taxation. Condition - the country of operation should not be a member of the EU, Norway is quite suitable for this. To obtain exemption from VAT in Germany, you only need Norwegian signatures and seals confirming your stay in the kingdom.

"In this case, the manufacturer indicates on the invoice the price excluding VAT and notes the availability of an export delivery", - explain in the Ministry of Finance of Germany. The risk for the manufacturer is that the customer may later simply “forget” to receive the required papers. In this case, the seller may demand VAT payment from the buyer, and then, after submitting the export documents, refund the VAT.

The terms on which yacht A was purchased from Nobiskrug were not disclosed. Based on a cost of 400 million euros, the VAT could be approximately 70 million. Representatives of Andrey Melnichenko declare that all tax obligations are being fulfilled, the shipyard has not yet commented on the tax issue. Therefore, the version put forward by Dagens Naerisliv that a ship's entry into Norway is connected precisely with VAT refunds remains only one of many.

A yacht is not a means of transportation, but rather a tribute to luxury and comfort, so only the most daring and wealthy oligarchs decide to buy it. Russian billionaires are at the forefront of this list.

Roman Abramovich, businessman and owner of Chesley, is considered the first Russian billionaire to spend hundreds of millions on yachts. He renews his "park" every couple of years. Abramovich was infected with love for yachts from his friend Boris Berezovsky. For a while they tried to compete, who has better and bigger boats, but soon Berezovsky got into debt and dropped out of the yachting race.

Abramovich, meanwhile, bought his first floating miracle - Le Grand Bleu in 2001 for $ 100 million. The length of the yacht is 113 m. After that, the businessman bought a high-speed boat Sussurro (50 m), which could accelerate to 85 km / h. In 2004, his collection was replenished with a 115-meter Pelorus for $ 129 million, which later passed to his ex-wife Irina after a divorce.

The oligarch did not stop there and in 2010 purchased the expedition yacht Luna, which was then estimated at $ 800 million. The length of the yacht is 115 meters, but its main value is that it can sail in any conditions - from the hot tropics to frosty Antarctica. Perhaps Abramovich realized that he was not interested in visiting the penguins and subsequently resold the ship to a businessman of Azerbaijani origin, Farhad Akhmedov, who, by the way, is now fighting for the right to own the yacht with his ex-wife Tatyana. In April, a London court ruled in favor of the ex-wife.

Abramovich's next addition was the 162-meter Eclipse. At that time, it was the longest boat in the world. The businessman managed to conclude such an agreement that the purchase of the yacht cost him $ 300 million, the rest of the costs were covered by the German shipyard Blohm + Vos. The cost of the yacht, meanwhile, is estimated at more than $ 900 million.

The Eclipse has 9 decks, the largest of which is the owner's personal deck with a length of 56 meters. The yacht has a cinema, wine cellar and 24 luxury cabins. Of particular value is the admiral's cabin with an area of ​​over 500 meters. There is a stage for the performance of guest celebrities. Another attraction of the yacht is two swimming pools, one of which can be converted into a dance floor.

The boat is capable of carrying two helicopters and four pleasure boats. In addition, the ship has a special platform for 20 scooters and even has its own mini-submarine for 12 people. The yacht itself can accommodate over 30 guests and 92 crew members.

With the advent of the yacht Azzam, which reaches a length of 180.6 m and belongs to the family of the sheikh from the UAE, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Eclipse has lost its primacy in size. However, she still remains one of the most interesting boats, exciting the minds of connoisseurs. Eclipse is equipped with the most modern defense systems and, if necessary, can track even a missile attack.

Russian billionaire and founder of USM Holdings Alisher Usmanov also chose to invest in a large-scale acquisition and bought a 156 meter long yacht Dilbar. It is estimated at $ 600 million. The vessel is considered the most capacious of its kind in the world. The yacht has been designed with an interior space of 3,800 square meters.

This made it possible to install the largest yacht pool in it, 180 cubic meters, and a diesel power plant. The yacht also accommodates two helipads and a Jacuzzi and an elevator equipped with the latest technology. It can accommodate up to 40 guests.

The decision to focus on the yacht's capacity, rather than its length, is viewed by experts around the world as very prudent. However, in terms of length, the yacht is not much inferior to analogues and ranks fourth in the world after the yacht Azzam of the family of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Eclipse by Roman Abramovich (162.5 m) and the yacht Dubai of Prince Brunei (162 m).

Last year, the size of the boat betrayed the owner when the elite port for superyachts in Europe - Barcelona's One Ocean Port Vell - was put up for sale. The name of the buyer was classified, however, as soon as the end of the deal was announced, Dilbar appeared in the port, which allowed local media to guess who had become the secret buyer.

It is worth noting that Usmanov gave the name to the yacht in honor of his mother. She did not work and devoted herself entirely to raising four children, of which Alisher was the eldest. And his father held leading positions in the prosecutor's office in Tashkent.

Usmanov recently purchased another 110 m long yacht, Ona. Its cost is estimated at $ 210 million. Little is known about the attributes of the new purchase, but the first information is already quite curious. It is reported that the boat meets the most advanced environmental solutions and does not harm environment- its exhaust gases are purified through special carbon filters.

The first large yacht of the main shareholder, member of the board of directors and chairman of the strategy committee of EuroChem, SUEK and SGK Andrey Melnichenko was the 119-meter Motor Yacht A, which he bought for $ 323 million. First of all, the vessel attracts attention due to its unusual design in the form of a submarine. Melnichenko's cabin rotates, which increases comfort when admiring the views of the sea.

The yacht has three swimming pools, a helipad, as well as a garage for boats (tenders) that deliver passengers from and to the yacht. It accommodates up to 14 guests (6 guest cabins and the owner's cabin). The crew of Motor Yacht A is 35 people.

The most expensive materials were used for interior decoration. The price of a faucet in the bathroom, according to media reports, reaches $ 40 thousand. Silver was used to decorate the stair railings, which raised their cost up to $ 60,000.
