Billionaire Roman Abramovich pushed the boat out pretty far – quite literally! His mega-yacht ‘Eclipse’ was recently taken into a German port for renovations according to reports with some pretty impressive upgrades supposedly on the way – to be honest it’s starting to sound more and more like the headquarters of a James Bond villain... Here are some of impressive facts about the oil tycoon’s prized possession! Sheer Size and Cost
The Eclipse is 536 ft long (that’s over 1.5 football pitches), 72.2ft wide and has a gross tonnage of 13,500GT! The leviathan has four diesel engines which cost $110,000 to completely fill with petrol. It has an estimated value of $1.5 billion and cost $300 million to build in the first place!
They consist:
Two Helicopter Pads
Two swimming pools and a disco hall
Cinema
Children’s playroom
Beauty salon
Conference room
Missile defence system
