5. Serene – $330 million
Designed by Norway’s very own Espen Oeino, one of the finest yacht architects in the world, the Serene was launched in August 2011 and is currently owned by Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and one of the most powerful, ruthless men in the world. Given all of the yacht’s features — a large outdoor cinema, a piano room, and an underwater room in which to observe marine life — it comes as no surprise that this is nicknamed “the Floating Palace.” You’ll also find a snow room, a steam room, and even a pool filled with seawater because who among us wouldn’t want to enjoy water in its various states when on a yacht?

4. Dubai – $350 million
Most of us peasants would be lucky enough to own a humble fishing boat. But when you are Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, you need a yacht and you absolutely need to name it after the city you lord over. The Dubai was constructed in 2006 and is among the world’s longest, spanning 530 feet or nearly two football fields. It contains a luxurious mosaic swimming pool, jacuzzis, areas to get tan under the hot desert sun, and even a helipad because landing on your yacht in the middle of the ocean sure beats boarding from the docking area, right?
