If you are not just very rich, but very, very, very rich, you can compete with competitors not only with the length of the limousine, but with the dimensions of a personal yacht. More than a dozen Russians own yachts, whose length exceeds 100 meters. This number includes the yacht Blade, owned by Dmitry Pumpyansky; Yacht Dilbar, owned by Alisher Usmanov; Sailing Yacht A by Andrey Melnichenko; Le Grand Bleu Roman Abramovich and others.

The 113-meter Le Grand Bleu mentioned above was the first yacht bought in 2001 by the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. They say that he "infected" with his love of yachts
Boris Berezovsky. Over the past 15 years, the Abramovich yacht fleet has grown significantly: it owns Eclipse boats (162 m long), Pelorus (115 m), Luna (115 m), Ecstasea (86 m) and Sussurro (50 m).
