3. Azzam:
Azzam, which was described by its manufacturer, Lurssen Yachts, as “the most complex and challenging yacht that has ever been built” is owned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nayan, the President the United Arab Emirates who is also the Emir of Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s capital. At $650 million, Azzam is the fourth most expensive luxury liner in the world. Besides, not only Azzam is pricey, it is also the largest luxury yacht in the world at 590 feet long. Therefore, UAE does not only boasts of having the tallest building in the world- the Burg Khalifa, but it also has to its name the largest yacht in the world which is Azzam. If that isn’t enough, Azzam is also said to be the fastest luxury yacht in the world at a speed of 30 knots or 35mph! It comes as no surprise that it has been the talk of the town, especially in the boating and sailing world. Though little is known about the features of Azzam, Christophe Leoni, the lavish boat’s French interior decorator gave a fitting description- sophisticated and luxurious.
2. History Supreme:
Opulence is simply defined as History Supreme! At $4.5 billion, it is the world’s most expensive yacht! It may be relatively small in size at 100 feet, but it took the makers, Stuart Hughes of the UK, three years to finish. This symbol of wealth and lavishness was acquired by an unnamed wealthy businessman from the Far East, a Malaysian. The nerve-wracking price is fitting for an extravagant boat that is mostly made of gold and platinum, inside and out. The luxury liner’s base is thinly-coated with solid-gold, including the deck, the rails and staircases and, believe it or not, even the anchor! The combined weight of the precious metals used to make this pricey, luxurious superyacht totals 100,000 kg or 220,000 lbs! The most stunning and gorgeous feature of History Supreme is the superbly- designed master’s bedroom. Where on Earth could one see a genuine meteorite rock imbedded on its walls? Adding to its uniqueness is a figurine of Tyrannosaurus Rex made from the extinct animal’s real bones! To make it even more rare and inimitable is the elegantly- crafted Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium. It is made of 68 kg 24-carat gold and stylishly adorns the billionaire’s suite. Not only that, diamonds also abound in the supeyacht. Brandished in the lavish bedroom is an iPhone draped in 500 cut diamonds. Beside it are two switchable pieces of the precious stone that is fitted over the phone’s “Home Button.” One is a pink 7.4-carat and the other is an 8-carat one that is said to be rare. And by the way, that is not even enough. Along with the diamond-studded iPhone is a liquor bottle that has an exceptionally rare 18.5- carat diamond with a price tag of $54 million! It is indeed Supreme in all its ways. Truly, one that is already written in history.

1. Motor Yacht A:
The sixth most luxurious yacht is the $323 million Motor Yacht A. The huge superyacht that is 400-feet long evokes a design of stealth warship owned by the Russian billionaire couple Andrey and Aleksandra Melnichenko. Without doubt, Motor Yacht A is a symbol of extravagance. Made and designed by Blohm + Voss of Hamburg, it boasts a master’s bedroom and disco at a huge area of 2,500 square feet. The boat’s interior, with mirrored walls, spans 24,000 square feet, large enough to accomodate six guest suites that are convertible to staterooms. The exquisitely- designed furniture, glassware and tableware, are all crafted of French crystal. That isn’t enough of a luxury as the super yacht brags not one but three swimming pools with one having a glass bottom right above the disco. It also has a helicopter hangar and a large speed boat fixed in the hull. Likewise, it could host up to 14 guests and sufficient space to house a team of 42 crew.
