When money is no object, it pays to keep up with the times.

And that's exactly what one Russian billionaire has done as he has upgraded his £190million superyacht for a new model - at a cost of £260million.
Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko's 'Sailing Yacht A,' simply named after its owner, is taking its test voyage in Kiel, northern Germany.
The behemoth is the world's largest sailing superyacht as the Russian industrialist takes his quest to ruling the seas one step further.
The epic vessel boasts a staggering eight decks and its keel incorporates one of the largest single pieces of curved glass ever made at 193 square feet and weighs a whopping 1.8 tons.
It dwarfs other famous super-yachts like The Maltese Falcon, which is 298ft and weighs 1,367 tons.
Cruise speed of the ship is 18mph, with a top speed of 24mph. The hull is made of steel, with a teak-finish deck.

We saw lots of billionaires and multimillionaires yachts in Newport harbour but this one beats those.
 

In all seriousness I would love just to take even just one trip on a Private yacht or a private jet just to experience how the other half live.. :D
 
That yacht is so large I'd get lonely wandering around in it. Maybe if you are that rich you have a lot of friends to fill it up though. :) It wouldn't be at the top of my list, but I might buy a small yacht if I suddenly became rich. Probably one of those pontoon house boats would be more in my comfort zone. I think I'd be an uneasy billionaire.
