Abramovitch’s Boat

Boat of Roman Abramovich, Russian Rich 1

Roman Abramovich, the Russian Richest Guy (as of 2006), has visited St. Petersburg a few days ago on his “Pelorus” boat, the largest private yacht in the world, with the size of the football field and the price tag of 245,000e or $500,000. He had not come alone, but escorted by two luxury cruise ships carrying other less fortunate Russian reaches, one of them is “Azamara”, it can also be seen on the photos. This event attracted thousands of St. Petersburg locals to see where to the richest Russian man spends his billions.

      Well at least this time it really was in St. Pete.

    2. Kid D says:

      500′000€? Yeah, sure…

    3. hooey says:

      What nonsense, the yacht cannot cost 500,000 USD. It costs 300 million.

    4. Coligny says:

      Damn, those boats are so big that I can’t even see Sarkozy and Carla Bruni…

    5. Mathouse says:

      Only $500000 ? It’s less than Bugatti EB Veyron ? :|

    6. maxD says:

      Good to see his car was still parked there were he left it, when he fled to the UK so many years ago [last pic].

      • Nikitn says:

        Prics are everywhere eh? Who wants to go to UK? Its a place for fatties. Russia is the greatest you little twat, MaxD

        • maxD says:

          You do not read properly. Abramovitch left Russia. Right ? Afraid his money would be taken from him.

          As for your comment, not everyone agrees with you. Are you aware that the Russian Minister of Agriculture shipped his whole family abroad ? They are living in N-America. Real feeling for the Motherland, eh ?

          Everyone knows: as soon as a Russian gets real money in his pocket he tries to leave the country. As fast as possible. Switzerland, France, N-Jersey, the UK: an enormous amount of filthy rich Russians are living there. More than in Russia itself. Leeching assholes. First milking their com-patriots and then taking off with the money. The only more or less decent one stayed, and is now spending time in Siberia: Chodorkowski.

    7. notbugs says:

      Had the price tag been just $500.000 i’d run to the bank and get a loan so i could get one too. Then i’d sell it for its market value which is $300 million according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelorus_(yacht)). That means i’d make $299,5 million without to much work. ;-)

    8. jozhix says:

      500k$???? thats less than a flat in center or Riga! :D

    9. w says:

      what a load of shit

    10. MXI339z says:

      Why is it flying the Red Ensign, Thats British. Denotes a british ship. Looks like the Isle-Of-Man ferry to me

      • Probably because, with all its faults and maladies, the United Kingdom still adheres to the rule of law, including property law, and is much less likely to allow a pig-headed government bureaucrat or competing jealous thug oligarch to sieze another man’s property, which of course happens regularly enough in Russia.

    11. Zack says:

      What’s the deal with the British flag? Did he stop being Russian permanently?

    12. Atom says:

      First hit on google: 300 million USD / 254 million Euro.

    13. Some guy says:

      Nice yacht though. I’m sure you can have nice parties there with a bunch of cocaine and female porn stars :)

    14. uhh says:

      Wow, I just bought a fucking RV for $500k here in the states. Perhaps this is just the exchange rate and the same people that crafted the boat also make Ladas ;)

    15. davin says:

      This is not the largest yacht in the world, it’s actually not even in the top ten. It’s #13..

    16. ben says:

      it cost $500,000,000 he was just short a few 0’s

    17. Zafarad says:

      Over all look of this ship is nice but i wonder,that how marine engineers and final QC inspectors passed “poor joint welds”! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !looks so ugly and horrible! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

      • Texas1 says:

        Usually, these are completely fiberglass. At $500,000 I would be amazed if this boat contained much steal.

        • Mr Joshua says:

          Oh dear.

          They dont build ships out of fiberglass. It is, as usual, a steel hull.

          Why do people who have absolutely no knowledge of a subject insist on guessing and publicly embarrassing themselves?

          It is better to remain quiet and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

    18. castleahh says:

      who the hell would pay money to take a cruise to russia? i mean seriously, why not a Caribbean or south pacific cruise? scantly clad hot bikini wearing islanders having beach sex in front of the ship, or go watch old women sell vegetables and drink vodka? hard choice for me.

    19. zax says:

      What author of this site wanted to say is that it costs 500000 US$ to fill the tank. Seriously, this is the correct information.

    20. Pacific NW says:

      What an arogant dickhead he must be. I’ll stick with my canoe, thanks.

    21. Eduardo says:

      What’s the deal with last pic, that little car?

    22. Mine are bigger, both the ship and the other thing.

    23. Rukiver says:

      First of all, Pelorus isn’t the largest private yacht in the world, than honor goes to Larry Ellison Rising Sun at 132 meters. The largest yacht currently built belongs to Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum of UAE. His yacht Dubai is 162 meters long.

      And to the tool who commented on the poor welds. This yacht was built and its marine engineering was done by Lürssen, one of the most respected yacht builders in the world par only to Feadship. You simply will not find such quality workmanship and engineering on any commercial ships, not that you’d recognize it anyway.

    24. Pavel says:

      That Zaporozsets in the last photo is classic. One day i will buy one and drop a chevy 350 into it. It will be the ultimate sleeper.

    25. Richard S. says:

      Webmaster, please check your spelling. It’s Abramovich not Abramovitch. I don’t think Roman would be amused…

      • ryds says:

        you can spell it anyway you like, obviously his name correctly written would be in te rus. alphabet. roman alphabet is used to give to give an approximation of the spelling by how it sounds. his name would no doubt be spelt differently in all western euro countries in order to match the languages pronounciation. its called transliteration.

    26. A1 says:

      Abramovic is still Govenor of Chukota. He asked Putin if he could give it up and Putin said “no”.

    27. a a says:

      the proletariats should have united and sunk that big symbol of stolen wealth. but russians are so apathetic nowadays, they probably only envied him

    28. Salocin.TEN says:

      It looks very much like the villian’s yacht in Superman Returns, where that newspaper lady and her two kids were kidnapped on.

    29. X says:

      “Roman Abramovich, the Russian Richest Guy…”. Actually he is Jewish guy.

    30. mad1982 says:

      Abramovitch = great man i love him

    31. Greg says:

      There is so much good that he could be doing rather then spending it on that total waste of money. If you have money to burn why not do some good and help your fellow Russians? Build or fix some shools, build some play grounds for the children, feed the poor, send some poor students to college, help the sick, etc.

    32. maxD says:

      Russian jews are considered ‘Russians’ in Israel and the rest of the world, and only in Russia they are called ‘Jews’.
      This etnical diversification is outdated and silly. A left over from communist times.

    33. feri says:

      This can only happen in russia. The guy buys this whole stuff like the boat or chelsea fc, whatever, of stolen money and the people are cheering him and envying him, not realizing that it was their stolen money after all. Thats what i call stupidity.

    34. sgegge says:

      saw this rowing boat in helsinki yesterday.

    35. Nuno says:

      I think Tim Roth and Abramovitch are, like clones.

    36. keitai says:

      According to Finnish newspapers, this boat actually now belongs to Romans ex-wife:

      http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Luxury+private+yacht+draws+onlookers+to+Katajanokka+/1135237148787

      He is now making a even bigger yacht for himself, the 168m “Eclipse”. I can imagine the line of thought.. “The bitch can keep that old piece of garbage I’ll build myself a bigger one” ;)

    37. Spacesaver says:

      To the writer Pavel; I’m not sure the little car would handle a Chevy 350. You’d drop it in and it would keep going till it hit the ground!!! You could, however, double the current whorespower by simply adding another set of pedals. Cheers!!

      i wanna meet that rich man in person!and my love sergey lebedev as well!love u sergey!joan
