Sorry, Roman Abramowich. Yours isn't the biggest in the world now.

The biggest yacht in the world, that is.

Roman Abramovich, my favorite Russian oligarch (who is also the most attractive, IMHO), who had the world's largest yacht (533 feet), the "Eclipse," has fallen to second place.

A Middle Eastern oligarch has taken the title of "World's Largest Yacht" owner with the recent launch of the 590-foot "Azzam."  Built by Germany's Lürssen Yachts for just $609 million, this ship is not only the largest, but it is also the fastest superyachts in the world.  In its initial first trial tests it achieved 30 knots (34.5mph).

The sleek and elegant exterior design was done by Nauta Yachts.  The interior design was done by French designer Christophe Leoni using a theme of the Empire style.

ME WANT Largest Yacht in the World plans unveiled

My favorite Russian oligarch, hottie, billionaire Roman Abramovich must be salivating. Plans were unveiled recently for a new largest yacht in the world, by designer Berkeley March (isn't that the most "Upson Downs" name ever?) The proposed yacht would be 656 ft (200m) and could cost up to $1 billion (£650 million).

About the juxtaposition of such an extravagant toy in today's bleak economic environment March said:
"Some people may say the timing was a little bit daft. But I think that many people who previously would not have had the power to buy such a yacht, are thinking that now is their chance. The people left with a lot of money have more power now, as there is less demand."

According to March, the recession did not change rich people's beliefs that "size matters. Recession or not, it's still all about men's egos."

Abramovich currently has the biggest in the world: yacht that is (the "Eclipse"). Hopefully he'll add this to his collection of super yachts.

So should we criticize these billionaires and their penis envy competition? Does one really need multiple yachts, several private jets, multiple homes around the world? I wonder: would it be forgivable if these toys were equally matched with philanthropic donations and contributions?

I still would like to have one of these and a private jet. If I could have those then I would only want a flat or two in some lovely world capitals. That's not too excessive is it? Now to get the billions.

Mr. Abramovich, if you're reading this I hope you'll buy this and always have the biggest yacht! I am ashamed to say, as politically correct as I am, that you are my hero. To be 40-ish, cute, rich beyond belief and to be able to have all of these amazing things would be wonderful. There's an idea for a reality show: "How to be Roman Abramovich for a day!" He could develop the concept into a Trump-like franchise, with a phrase like "Mine's bigger" instead of "You're fired"!!

I'd definitely make a visit to one of Roman's residences, La Croe, the Duke & Duchess of Windsor's former compound in Cap d'Antibes, the first visit on the show if I were a contestant! That is mighty fine taste you have, Mr. Abramovich!

ME WANT2: WHY eco-friendly yacht and Roman Abramovich my hero!

It's a plane! No, it's a space ship. No it's a boat. A Boat? Yes, the WHY is quite simply the most magnificently realized yacht ever. Beyond comprehension.

Wally Yachts is no stranger to innovative, fabulous yacht designs but this one in particular strikes my fancy.

I've wanted a yacht, like I've wanted a jet, forever. I guess I'm lucky that I haven't had a chance to sink my money yet into a traditional yacht because this yacht, the WHY (Wally-Hermès Yacht) is a dream. It's not even remotely like a traditional yacht but more like a floating island. Almost
as wide as it is long (58m x 38m or 190ft x 124ft), it seems like its half beachfront property.









































And the soaring open interior.

































One of my heroes (because he's so rich and he likes toys that I like/want), that cute Russian oil oligarch billionaire, Roman Abramovich (see previous listing here about all of the things this guy has that I'd like too), has a fleet of yachts, one of which, aptly named The Eclipse (the photo of boat below Abramovich pic), is the world's largest in the world at 557ft. His other yachts include: the Pelorus (377ft), the Ecstasea ( 282ft) and the Sussurro (161ft)....but I'll bet he'll be building the next world's largest, but a WHY version.












FEAST your eyes/dreams upon this. Couldn't you just sail away on this and NEVER come back? Bye bye Republicans! Bye bye radical fundamentalist Christians! Bye bye neo-Nazis! Bye Bye Dick Cheney!

So just retract those roofs and put the petal to the metal and blue skies from now on. Right? Watch the video below.
