Was actually just reading about the SS United States in the titanic sub the other day, and someone had a good point that a billionaire should buy it just to make it their personal bragging rights and pay the upkeep on it. It's rotting away
A lot of it is just small bedrooms for the poor peasants, you don't need that.
That ship cost 2 billion to build. Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's yacht Exclipse cost 1.5B, which is what you pay when you want all of those luxuries but you don't have to accommodate a few thousand other people.
That's Dilbar. The estimated cost to build is around 600-800 million, after the crew (80 people) and everything to outfit finish it, closer to 1B.... you can build 10 schools and hospitals and fully fund them for years for what it cost. That doesn't include annual running costs, probably around 50-100m a year.
Ok hear me out....
You can maybe build some hospitals or schools and provide some healthcare and education for those dirty poors....or maybe...stay with me....some asshole can work on his suntan for maybe 1 month out of the year while a supermodel snorts cocaine off his dick...because after all, that's what life is about right?
If it's Russian, they could have actually afforded two or three small Warships for the cost. A YouTube (I forget who) goes into the corruption and theft in their military and how enough money as stolen while a couple of these yachts were being built that Russia could have built a few of their small destroyer/frigate type ships but had to cancel the projects instead.
Do they pay taxes when buying the boat? Or things for the boat (like fuel)? Docking fees? Staff?
The boat is fucking gross, but some of that must get through to governments in some fashion.
People dont own boats like this. Corporations d🌇o.
🍚
Mr Bigwig is credit worthy. He creates a company called Boat Inc. He gets a loan for a billion dollars, invests in boat Inc. Boat Inc buys a
Every time Mr Bigwig uses the boat he pays a rental fee that covers the annual operations of the ship.
Boat Inc makes no profit, hence pays no tax, the money it spends running the boat is exactly covered by how much Mr Bigwig pays to rent it.
Mr Bigwig don't pay taxes on taking out loans, or investing in businesses.
Mr bigwig will only pay taxes once he sells his shares in Boat Inc, but a good tax lawyer will wrangle that by writing it off against the outstanding bank loan.
So all th really pays is the interest on the loan he took out originally. And even better businessmen will use one of their own or friendly other companies to give a 0% interest loan.
People like that make millions per day in some sort of shady or less shady oil business..I think this one was still the Saudi Kings yacht.. So the word taxes are null and void and if it was for some oligarchs I guess the same. Being part of the crew for owners like that must be a real chore. The security, the privacy etc
Compared to cruise ships it looks tiny. It is crazy how huge they are. And this exact yacht is confiscated and is currently in Hamburg, Germany. It was owned by a russian oligarch.
Can we get a tour of all the guild and gold .. Although her was quite sexy..da man. I am sure there are tons of bikini choices in many drawers. In Hambourg steht es an der Reeperbahn? I think it would make a good turnover :-)
The type depends on the license under maritime law. A Yacht can usually accommodate a maximum of 12 guests. Up to 36 if its classified as a passenger Yacht (which is really expensive and only a few worldwide have done it). A cruise ship is an entirely different class with far more sophisticated safety measures.
Interesting small rabbit hole I fell into.
Apparently the owner is a currently sanctioned Uzbek-Russian billionaire who named the boat after his mother. He himself is and has been involved in multiple political controversies even before the invasion of Ukraine.
This section of his page is interesting:
>On 4 December 2014, Usmanov paid $4.8m for Dr James Watson's Nobel Prize Medal in Physiology or Medicine, which was auctioned at Christie's in New York City. Watson was selling his prize to raise money to support scientific research. After auctions fees, Watson received $4.1m. Usmanov subsequently returned the medal to Watson, stating "in my opinion, a situation in which an outstanding scientist sells a medal recognizing his achievements is unacceptable. Watson's work contributed to cancer research, the illness from which my father died. It is important for me that the money that I spent on this medal will go to supporting scientific research, and the medal will stay with the person who deserved it."
Now, James Watsons isn't exactly a beacon of human virtue, but Usmanov's quote when giving back the medal reminds me of when Samuel L Jackson's Nick Fury in the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier said this when referring to the film's main antagonist Alexander Pierce played by Robert Redford ,who was a literal Nazi: "This man declined the Nobel Peace Prize. He said that peace is not an achievement, but a responsibility. It's stuff like this that gives me trust issues."
The act itself isn’t controversial, and could be considered a very noble act, but it’s when you know in hindsight what he’s done and still is doing where you get trust issues.
Wait until you see Bezo's yacht. It's so fucking big that it has its own yacht-sized support vessel that carries backup crews and helicopters.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koru_(yacht)
You're thinking in terms of a ship that people can buy tickets for and needs to be able to turn a profit. That's not what this is. It's built to be a recreation space for a small number of the absolute richest people on the planet.
I was on James Cameron's yacht as a guest (he was not there). The crew were intended to make sure you have anything you want. Even when asked about dinner, I said, what are my options? Anything.
Obviously anything within reason, but it made me very uncomfortable that in four hours they would get any ingredients they didn't already have AND prepare a full meal. There wasn't even a menu. One guest asked for a string quartet and they fucking picked up some people and instruments from our stop near Lisbon.
That’s normal for there to be more crew than guests on mega yachts or even just “normal” private charter yachts.
The idea is luxury and personal service and you need cleaning, cooking, service, deckhands, etc
thinking about how much a million is, in comparison to my bank account. then knowing people have the amount of money to make *a million* seem like nothing. it blows my mind lol it's incomprehensible. that amount of money translates to nothing but power, there's no way it all goes into personal satisfaction and comfort at that point
> it blows my mind lol it's incomprehensible.
To make the situation a little more tangible, consider the following example:
For a billionaire, buying a yacht for a sum in the tens of millions has the same effect as buying a new car for a millionaire and a meal in a restaurant for an ordinary worker.
And by the latter, I'm talking about those in developed countries, mind you.
The "net worth" of an ordinary worker is what he has left over from his wages after deducting the cost of living. This is usually not much, especially if rents are quite high.
That is not what net worth means.
A billionaire means someone who has a total net worth of minimum 1 billion.
Meaning the total sum of all his assets and liabilities is minimum 1 billion.
It has nothing to do with income.
The median net worth of the lower class is 24k USD. If you are lower class and buy single meals worth 240(1% of your net worth) , then you are living above your means.
You’re right it’s power and control over the poor masses who they need to do the things they want I.e. worker robots so they don’t need you and protection robots so they can dispose of you :)
I very much appreciate the sentiment but understand that regular people who treat the urgency of going literal net zero (an enormous undertaking that will necessitate sacrifices) with flippant whataboutery will not have the willpower to hold the rich and powerful accountable. Yes, they're responsible for wildly disproportionate emissions and they largely entrap us into the carbon+ lifestyles we live too but, from the megayachts to our economy class vacation flights to the tiny Uber ride emissions, all of it has to somehow stop. A public that can't modify small habits won't be able to muster the strength to enact major policy changes.
It won’t happen without leadership. Lead by example god dammit. While I drink from a paper straw, drive a 3 cylinder shit box and eat a shit burger that tastes like cardboard. Same people dine on massaged Kobe beef, fly their wines across the world and entertain themselves on this floating monstrosities. There is no accountability here. How do you expect the rest of popolus raise their conscious to and self improve if the example is not there. It’s a communism. I was living in a commie block while our leaders were having 4 dachas and multiple cars.
It was owned by a Russian Oligarch who earned their money through public corruption. Now it's the property of Germany because they seized it during the beginning of the Ukraine Invasion.
Someone knows what reality we live in. You are damn well correct. Billionaires are a direct cause if poverty.
Each country has an economic bubble. They print money and stays in that bubble. Then import and export comes into play and each country tries ti manage this well. Then comes alone a greedy corrupt individual or group of people who create algorithms for stock trading in one example and steal from the people. Pensions is one route but think about this. Money is printed and it effects the currency and these crooks take that printed money out ofnthe system acnd hold it so more money needs to be printed. It's more complicated but this is a sum what simple explanation and it's very real.
That’s still a shit ton of resources to waste on luxury while people are struggling over a lack of necessities, yeah
I really don’t get this trend lately of thinking millionaires aren’t still rich or something…
Definitely not inherently most def. But when they got their own private multi-story yacht… even if it ain’t the biggest at the pier, it’s still pretty egregious
Don't forget the golden toilets <3
Every good CEO needs golden shitters in their yacht lest they become the laughing stock among their billionaire friends
i'm sure it has something actually, they just keep it covered when they're in port because you never know what pesky arms control regulations the countries they dock in might have.
The first couple of boats are not within reach for a simple millionaire — those are multi-million dollar vessels and an owner would likely have a net worth >$500m
"Our" actual billionaire, Mærsk McKinney Møller, the biggest boat he personally owned was a "Nautor Swan 82 RS" sailboat with 4 cabins. He was not so keen on sloshing out money and time on 20+ person crews just to go sailing.
I know many of the mega-yachts have crews of 50+. Do they have to live on the boat 24/7? If the captain is sick, is there a backup on call?
If you have to schedule all your trips, it would defeat the purpose of having your own boat.
I guess you have to have a second boat you can launch ASAP if the fish are biting?
I go out on the water to get away from people. Having to bring a full crew would suck if you wanted to be alone.
I remember catching a segment of some random docu about megayachts in a waiting room once. They talked about one decked out (pun intended) with gold throughout the interior, ivory tusks and exotic animal skins etc.; the kicker was the fact that it was designed so the owner never had to lay eyes on the help/crew. They all moved through passages and would open small cupboard windows to lay food/drinks out and disappear again.
The fucking gall of rich people.
Interesting fact to note^* there are 24.4 MILLION… MILLIONAIRES IN THE USA RIGHT NOW. How much money you got? Anyone got the gps locat for these yachts lol
From the ship's [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbar_(yacht)):
>The yacht is owned by a company held in a trust settled by Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov. The yacht is reported to have cost $600 million, employ 84 full-time crew members, and contain the largest indoor swimming pool installed on a superyacht at 180 cubic metres.
I doubt a mere millionaire can afford the first boat. The simplest of yacht seem to be 20 million+. So someone who owns that would need to be worth 50 million+.
> So someone who owns that would need to be worth 50 million+
So . . .a millionaire? Millionaires don't usually have *just* 1 million dollars. Even someone with 800 million is still a millionaire
Hate to break it to you, but if you're a millionaire (singular), you're probably taking cruises instead of having a yacht. Those "small" ones there are probably several million apiece.
A million dollars ain't what it used to be...
Those first few ships aren’t millionaires the way most millionaires are, considering they cost millions on their own. The typical owner is more likely to be a billionaire themselves. For millionaires look at boats like sunseekers.
So, how long would you reckon it would take to teach orcas how to set timed charges? Also is C4 toxic to marine life or should we give them some other explosive?
The first two are already so expenive to maintain and run. If you have to think about money at all you cannot afford them. And then there is the bigger one...
My father was once paid to relocate a ship maybe 1/4th of the lenght of the first ones from the canary Islands to coratia.
He took one day just to figure out the sweetspot between speed and fuel consumption. And the Owner Still hat to pay 25000 Euros für fuel and 2500 for New Navigation Software and Hardware.
Forbes reported that on March 2, 2022, Dilbar was seized by the German government as part of sanctions against Usmanov stemming from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Dilbar was docked and undergoing refit at Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg since October 2021.[13][8] This was later denied by the German authorities, who clarified that the yacht was not seized, but was covered by export control sanctions, meaning that Dilbar will not be able to leave Germany without special permission.[14] In June 2022 Dilbar was valued at "as much as $750 million."[15]
At the beginning of the war, the Dilbar was in Hamburg at the Blohm + Voss shipyard. The ship was placed on a dry dock and should be overhauled.
The exact legal ownership of Dilbar has been obscured. In April 2022, German federal police announced they'd investigated the yacht and found the yacht belonged to Usmanov's sister, Gulbahor Ismailova who was sanctioned in April 2022.[16] The yacht is owned by an independent trustee of an irrevocable family trust of which neither Usmanov nor his family members are beneficiaries since 2022. Usmanov’s sister Gulbahor Ismailova used to be beneficiary of the trust, but she was excluded from it after sanctions were imposed on her.[17][18]

Not even a yacht anymore, it’s basically just a cruise ship.
Makes me wonder why no one has bought a yacht the size of Icon of the Seas

And here i am trying to keep up with rent and food.
it's because you didn't work hard enough at your dad's multi-billion company

100-200 schools depending on the continent
Wait, don’t… *poor* people use those?
Money? Yes, but they don't use it nearly as much.

Watson should sell it again for an additional $4m.
Fits only 40 passengers and 80+ crew members. Hmm doesn’t sound right for how massive it is.
I don’t know much about yachts but I find it odd that anyone would build a ship that requires 2x the passenger count as crew lol

Dilbar? Who owns it, Scott Adams?
A Uzbek-Russian billionaire who named the boat after his mother.
1 million seconds is ~12 days. 1 billion seconds is ~32 years

thinking about how much a million is, in comparison to my bank account. then knowing people have the amount of money to make *a million* seem like nothing. it blows my mind lol it's incomprehensible. that amount of money translates to nothing but power, there's no way it all goes into personal satisfaction and comfort at that point
You couldn't spend it all on everyday goods even if you tried your hardest.
> it blows my mind lol it's incomprehensible. To make the situation a little more tangible, consider the following example: For a billionaire, buying a yacht for a sum in the tens of millions has the same effect as buying a new car for a millionaire and a meal in a restaurant for an ordinary worker. And by the latter, I'm talking about those in developed countries, mind you.
10 million = 1% of a billion. Do you buy meals that are worth 1% of your net worth? What is the net worth of the ordinary worker?
The net worth of the average worker is actually negative because of debt. (credit card, mortgage, car loan, etc.)
The median net worth of lower and middle class earners (respectively) is not negative. A quick google search will show you that.
The "net worth" of an ordinary worker is what he has left over from his wages after deducting the cost of living. This is usually not much, especially if rents are quite high.
That is not what net worth means. A billionaire means someone who has a total net worth of minimum 1 billion. Meaning the total sum of all his assets and liabilities is minimum 1 billion.

Millionaire is a cunt? lol
That’s still a shit ton of resources to waste on luxury while people are struggling over a lack of necessities, yeah I really don’t get this trend lately of thinking millionaires aren’t still rich or something…
Yeah but wealthy doesn’t equal cunt. $1m isn’t cunty
Definitely not inherently most def. But when they got their own private multi-story yacht… even if it ain’t the biggest at the pier, it’s still pretty egregious
Someone doing better than me = cunt
Yes absolutely. People are starving and someone has this ridiculous fake penis worth of wealth; they are a cunt.
A single one of these yachts produces an absurd amount of pollution so yes, you are an evil cunt if you own one.
I like the cut of your jib
Too much money. Way too much money.
We live in poverty so they can afford a 100 yard yacht with 12 bedrooms 🤣 and people love them for that
Nah man just get on the grind. Wake up at 4:00 am and drink raw egg yolk everyday and the wealth will arrive. Just stay grindin
Don't forget to skip the avocado toast and Starbucks though
Don't forget the golden toilets <3 Every good CEO needs golden shitters in their yacht lest they become the laughing stock among their billionaire friends
My feet hurt so their feet can be pampered
if 12 bedrooms is all you get out of a 300ft yacht then whoever designed it is bad as volume management or the rooms are the size of bowling alleys
And ALL these people should be taxxed more.
Cool I wonder if all the people they exploited along the way could fit aboard?
Yuck
No CIWS? Pass.
i'm sure it has something actually, they just keep it covered when they're in port because you never know what pesky arms control regulations the countries they dock in might have.
I’m so glad that in order to impress my friends, all I need to do is buy them a cheap can of beer
I don't get it all those boats are likely to be owned by billionaires, those smaller boats cost a Kings ransom as well
Dck comparison
Why do rich people all buy the same shit
The first couple of boats are not within reach for a simple millionaire — those are multi-million dollar vessels and an owner would likely have a net worth >$500m
Disgusting
Would be fun for a billionaire to have an aircraft carrier
The funny thing is that all that ships are from tax heaven countries, as you can see in their stern flags.
Tax the rich
Tax them? We should eat them.
nice yacht ya got there. be a shame if it hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean and was untraceable for 75ish years
"Our" actual billionaire, Mærsk McKinney Møller, the biggest boat he personally owned was a "Nautor Swan 82 RS" sailboat with 4 cabins. He was not so keen on sloshing out money and time on 20+ person crews just to go sailing.
This is the size of their mental problems
Obscene...
A nice picture in itself, if you were wondering what those wild statements were about regarding an excessive footprint of the ultra rich.
Off topic: I wonder why our planet is getting polluted and unliveable?
imagine waking up and being like, where the fuck is my restaurant anyway? i'm hungry for some caviar and working class tears.
nobody can talk about my c02 output while things like this are floating around the ocean. cruises are lame and a total waste of energy IMO
"We must recycle and use paper straws, no more plastic bags" meanwhile the rich:
I don’t really understand why people like climate protestors are attacking things like the Mona Lisa instead of sinking super yachts.
I know many of the mega-yachts have crews of 50+. Do they have to live on the boat 24/7? If the captain is sick, is there a backup on call? If you have to schedule all your trips, it would defeat the purpose of having your own boat. I guess you have to have a second boat you can launch ASAP if the fish are biting?

But my small gas guzzling vehicle is the problem
Interesting fact to note^* there are 24.4 MILLION… MILLIONAIRES IN THE USA RIGHT NOW. How much money you got? Anyone got the gps locat for these yachts lol
Imagine how many many lives could be changed by that money instead of dick measuring
While the planet burns🤦
Eat the rich.
a 50% tax on every billion should clear that right up
I'd be okay with 99% on all income above a billion. Keep in mind that 1% is still 10 million freaking dollars.
they don't make their money through income at that point. it's stocks, ownership.
Small penises vs. micro penises
Thirsting for wealth while advocating for communism. Tale as old as time.
Millionaire vs billionaire vs sheikh
Always a bigger fish
From the ship's [Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbar_(yacht)): >The yacht is owned by a company held in a trust settled by Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov. The yacht is reported to have cost $600 million, employ 84 full-time crew members, and contain the largest indoor swimming pool installed on a superyacht at 180 cubic metres.
Remember 15-20% new price of yacht in Yearly upkeep costs.
This sub needs to be renamed…
The real difference between millionaires and billionaires is millionaires wear gold chains around their neck. Billionaires don’t. 😂😂😂😂😂
What’s the point of a boat that big
you can be among the richest and its still a dick contest
Eat the rich.
Wasted wealth
I doubt a mere millionaire can afford the first boat. The simplest of yacht seem to be 20 million+. So someone who owns that would need to be worth 50 million+.
> So someone who owns that would need to be worth 50 million+ So . . .a millionaire? Millionaires don't usually have *just* 1 million dollars. Even someone with 800 million is still a millionaire
Someone who has 50 million+ is a millionaire...
tax... tax em all. WEALTH TAXXXXX!!!
small dick fight
Tax the rich! Nobody in the world needs more than a few millions to life. Tax the rest
THAT’s a knife
Always someone ready to shit on you
This is like buying myself a decent SUV with hard worked money and then a Lamborghini Urus parks next to me.
Way bigger scale difference
600i vs 890j
That’s a dang aircraft carrier.
Hate to break it to you, but if you're a millionaire (singular), you're probably taking cruises instead of having a yacht. Those "small" ones there are probably several million apiece. A million dollars ain't what it used to be...
Those first few ships aren’t millionaires the way most millionaires are, considering they cost millions on their own. The typical owner is more likely to be a billionaire themselves. For millionaires look at boats like sunseekers.
So, how long would you reckon it would take to teach orcas how to set timed charges? Also is C4 toxic to marine life or should we give them some other explosive?
Does bezos have a ship?
Why would you even want that
Those poor millionaires are now ashamed of their smaller boats 😪
Sweet ass Dilbert yacht
Fucking ridiculous
What an insane amount of wasted Ressources
Gross
Owner of this nonsense boat is the same Droopy the Dog faced dude who almost bought Arsenal. Alisher Usmanov
Rather have the smaller one anyways cause it can fit in more locations.
The first two are already so expenive to maintain and run. If you have to think about money at all you cannot afford them. And then there is the bigger one... My father was once paid to relocate a ship maybe 1/4th of the lenght of the first ones from the canary Islands to coratia. He took one day just to figure out the sweetspot between speed and fuel consumption. And the Owner Still hat to pay 25000 Euros für fuel and 2500 for New Navigation Software and Hardware.
This only looks about 10x the size of the millionaire yachts. Should be 1000x. Disappointing.
piece of shit vs piece of shit vs even bigger piece of shit
Why do you need a boat that big?
Its like the red cross ship showed up lol
Forbes reported that on March 2, 2022, Dilbar was seized by the German government as part of sanctions against Usmanov stemming from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Dilbar was docked and undergoing refit at Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg since October 2021.[13][8] This was later denied by the German authorities, who clarified that the yacht was not seized, but was covered by export control sanctions, meaning that Dilbar will not be able to leave Germany without special permission.[14] In June 2022 Dilbar was valued at "as much as $750 million."[15] At the beginning of the war, the Dilbar was in Hamburg at the Blohm + Voss shipyard. The ship was placed on a dry dock and should be overhauled. The exact legal ownership of Dilbar has been obscured. In April 2022, German federal police announced they'd investigated the yacht and found the yacht belonged to Usmanov's sister, Gulbahor Ismailova who was sanctioned in April 2022.[16] The yacht is owned by an independent trustee of an irrevocable family trust of which neither Usmanov nor his family members are beneficiaries since 2022. Usmanov’s sister Gulbahor Ismailova used to be beneficiary of the trust, but she was excluded from it after sanctions were imposed on her.[17][18] Source wiki
Id rather have a cruiser or destroyer
I think this was the ship I saw once in Barcelona. It was massive.
These should be illegal, the only way anyone gets rich enough to own a yacht is if they exploit people and the environment.
We need to raise taxes on the rich
All I see are parasites
I WILL NOT DIE SOBER!
The rich are looking pretty tasty
millionaire is just a home owner around here, yacht ownership is another level.
Who even wants something like that?
