Roman Abramovich superyacht Eclipse

After a year-long delay, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich finally took delivery of the world’s largest and most expensive yacht, the Eclipse.

The ā€œgigayachtā€ measures anywhere from 533 ft. to 557 ft. (depending on reports), and is the worldā€™s largest privately owned yacht.

The cost of the behemoth has also been variously reported as $500 million ā€“ $1 billion. It is the worldā€™s most expensive private yacht either.

The Eclipse will cost an estimated $50 million a year to maintain and each fill-up at the gas station will set the Russian billionaire back a cool $650,000.

The yacht, which has space for 30 guests and 75 crew, reportedly features a military-grade missile defense system, armor plating, bulletproof windows, three helipads, two swimming pools and a wellness center.
