Does anyone know how much it costs to fill this yacht with fuel. I heard a crazy price like $50,000.00 can this be true.
If it carries something like 350 tons of fuel how much does that equate to..

With today’s market-prices 350 tons of MGO cost US$175,000.00.

Really beautiful. Why not to have the best if you have the money o pay for it. Just remember that many families will live because of this magnificent yacht and they are the families of the employees, which means stop criticizing rich people if they do build big or massive hotels, houses, yachts, planes, etc. because all these need staff to run them and staf have families, i.e. many people will be fed and the owner will enjoy their wealth instead of keeping them in banks. Mabrouk for HH Sh. Mohammed bin Rashid the Yacht, the Hotel, …everything znd God bless you as you have done a lot to your country. Please accept my respect.

Mr. Jermaine Ammari,
You are a very wise person.
I wish all the comments regarding people who made difference in the world were extraordinary like yours.
unfortunately the envy conforts minds of people uncapable of making any difference, and all they concentrate at, is to try to blame their lack of admiration in critiscism of the state of the art achievement of somebody else.

Wait im surpised that Jim Patteison “Nova Spirit” yacht isnt on this list. I heard it cost $250 million dollars canadian but i might be wrong.

Dear Jermaine and David: The person who owns this yacht is the “King” of Dubai, a country that has its money from oil. This dude was born in a solid gold crib, he never did anything remarkeble or important for Dubai, the world, or human kind to deserv all the billions he has. Now 8 people died trying to build this boat. I don’t think capitalism is fair to EVERYBODY.
