Since it is 17 meters longer than Roman Abramovich\u2019s \u201cEclipse\u201d, he dethroned the Russian oligarch, who had the largest private yacht until then. Little is known about the luxurious interior of the \u201cAzzam\u201d, only that the Frenchman Christophe Leoni designed the yacht in the Empire style. The prince spent around 490 million euros for his new luxurious vehicle, about 150 million more than Abramovich had to pay for his \u201cEclipse\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Both super yachts were built in German shipyards, Abramowitsch\u2019s yacht at Blohm + Voss in Hamburg and the Saudi prince\u2019s yacht by L\u00fcrssen in Bremen. By the way, Sheikh Muhammad bin Rashid al Maktum\u2019s \u201cDubai\u201d comes third in the ranking of the largest luxury yachts. The only drop of bitterness regarding the prince\u2019s \u201cAzzam\u201d is that due to its size it cannot moor in every harbor. However, the hotspots of the super-rich, such as Monaco or Puerto Portals in Mallorca, have enough space for the largest yacht in the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n<h2>Good to Know<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary><span class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25b8<\/span><strong>What is the main point of this article?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>It takes a closer editorial look at Big, bigger, biggest: The most impressive luxury yachts in the world and explains why the subject still matters.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><span class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25b8<\/span><strong>Who is this piece for?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>For readers who care about style, context and the small details that separate a passing trend from something with staying power.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary><span class=\"faq-arrow\">\u25b8<\/span><strong>Why does it fit \/\/LUXURY?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Because the subject is viewed through taste, context and quality rather than loud claims or pure novelty.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imgcredit\">Image source: youDRESSED Archiv<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among the super-rich, it is an imposing status symbol: the luxury yacht.
