10 of the most impressive superyachts owned by billionaires

From a sailing yacht owned by a russian billionaire industrialist to the luxury launch of the patek philippe ceo, here are the best billionaire-owned boats on the water….

Words: Jonathan Wells

There’s something about billionaires and big boats . Whether they’re superyachts or megayachts, men with money love to splash out on these sizeable sea-going giants. And that all began in 1954 — with the big dreams of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Onassis, keen to keep his luxury lifestyle afloat when at sea, bought Canadian anti-submarine frigate HMCS Stormont after World War II. He spent millions turning it into an opulent super yacht, named it after his daughter — and the Christina O kicked off a trend among tycoons. To this day, the world’s richest men remain locked in an arms race to build the biggest, fastest, most impressive superyacht of all. Here are 10 of our favourites…

Keeping Superyachts Out of the Public Eye

When it comes to owning a superyacht, some owners prefer to keep their vessels out of the public eye.

Understandably, these individuals are concerned with privacy and discretion, and therefore tend to take measures to ensure their yachts are not visible to outsiders.

For instance, some superyacht owners opt to keep their vessels in private marinas, away from the public areas of larger ports.

Additionally, some yacht owners may choose to hire security guards to patrol and protect their vessels while they are moored or sailing.

In addition to physical security, some superyacht owners also use technology to keep their vessels out of the public eye.

For example, a yacht owner may choose to install a satellite-based communications system that allows them to keep their vessel completely off-radar.

This system works by bouncing signals off satellites rather than transmitting them, making it virtually impossible for anyone to track the yachts movements.

Finally, some superyacht owners also choose to limit the number of people who have access to their vessels.

For instance, the owner may only allow family members and close friends to board the yacht.

Additionally, the owner may choose to employ a limited number of staff to help maintain the vessel and keep it running smoothly.

These individuals may be required to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure they do not disclose any information about the yacht or its owner.

Overall, while some superyacht owners may choose to keep their vessels out of the public eye, there are still plenty of other ways to show off the opulence associated with owning a superyacht.

From swimming pools and helicopter pads to on-board cinemas and spas, there are many luxurious amenities that can make a superyacht the envy of any jet setter.

Final Thoughts

Superyachts are a symbol of luxury and status, and the list of yacht owners reads like a who’s who of billionaires.

From the Emir of Qatar’s world-record breaking $400 million yacht to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s vessel with a helicopter pad and on-board spa, the amenities of these luxury vessels are truly stunning.

With prices ranging from $30 million to over $400 million, owning a superyacht is an expensive endeavor.

When it comes to splurging on yachts, African billionaires are not as brazen as some of their foreign counterparts.

For context: Roman Abramovich’s new superyacht, Solaris , costs an estimated $600 million. Another, lesser billionaire, vodka tycoon Yuri Shefler, who is worth $2.4 billion, according to Forbes, once owned Serene , a superyacht which he sold off in 2015 to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman for a reported $550 million. The most expensive yacht ever owned by an African billionaire is arguably Illusion ­– formerly called Galactica Star – previously owned by Nigerian fugitive oil tycoon Kola Aluko. And it was reportedly worth $50 million .

Here are nine yachts that have been owned by some of Africa’s richest people of all time – some living, others, dead.

The 49.8-meter superyacht Hayken is a custom-built Heesen yacht owned by troubled Angolan billionaire Isabel dos Santos.

Hayken offers accommodation for up to 12 guests across five staterooms with ensuites and a luxurious master suite.

Bezos' sun-soaked escape: Helicopter to a $75M yacht in Sardinia

T here's no denying that "modesty" is not really like Jeff Bezos and his beloved. The couple was photographed in Sardinia when they boarded a private helicopter to get to the billionaire's yacht, which the media estimates to be worth almost CAD 75 million.

Jeff Bezos is currently one of the richest people in the world. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his wealth is estimated at CAD 200 billion. Therefore, there is no denying that the 60-year-old Amazon founder does not need to worry about his finances. Although the entrepreneur has long been of great interest to the press, it undoubtedly increased when Lauren Sanchez appeared in his life.

Since then, the billionaire has also become a hero of the tabloid press, which eagerly peeks into his private life. Not so long ago, Bezos was still in Sun Valley, Idaho , where the Allen & Co. conference occurred. Of course, his beloved Lauren accompanied him.

This time, however, the couple changed their location and went to sunny Sardinia. Of course, the wealthy did not hold back on expenses. First, dressed in sports outfits, they settled in the helicopter, which took them to the billionaire's luxury yacht.

It must be admitted that the CAD 75 million vessel is impressive. However, it turns out that this is only Bezos's "support yacht," which, according to the Daily Mail, serves as a "floating garage" with a helipad. Jeff also has a superyacht in his collection, which costs $500 million CAD . The support yacht was purchased for Lauren Sanchez so she could land her helicopter on it. The billionaire's beloved is a trained pilot.

Such a life, huh?
