10 Absurdly Expensive Private Yachts (From Around The World) And Who Owns Them

With a lot of money, you can afford to indulge your extra money in some "toys"! One of the very common "toys" of the wealthy is the yacht. Yachts can be categorized as personal cruise ships. The owner can travel on the water and be on their private island, depending on the amenities that can be installed. Even better, they can bring their friends along to participate in the fun.

However, there is a small tier of people that have so much wealth that they can indulge in unheard extravagance. The cost of their yachts goes into the billions and we are here to expose it all. Here are ten of the most absurdly expensive private yachts (and the lucky ducks who own them!)
