This week’s article is titled “Plans unveiled for world's largest yacht”. The article discusses a new design for what would be the largest Yacht in the world. The design took place in London, England, and stretches a whopping 656 feet. The current longest Yacht in existence is owned by “Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich”. That Yacht seems small in comparison to this new design at 99 feet.
“Berkeley March, the yacht's naval architect, told CNN the boat could cost up to $1 billion (£650 million) to build, “depending on the needs of the clients””. A wide range of possibilities exist with the needs of a client. For example, the client could request gold furniture”. Regardless of the details the cost of building such a machine would be insurmountable to most. Despite being in a recession, some rich people with about 1 billion dollars to spare see this as an opportunity. “The people left with a lot of money have more power now, as there is less demand”.
Some amenities included in the monstrous boat include it “a drive-in-garage, a 100-foot swimming pool, a casino, a health spa and numerous bars and nightclubs”. The goal of course is to include “features that would make even the most blasé billionaire take notice”.
