super yachts #2

Super yachts have become a symbol of success in the top one percent of wealthy people in the U.S. You see this lavish and extravagant boats being owned by the CEO’s and business men associated with companies who are losing money everyday, and politicians from country’s around the world. Owners of such boats are people like Mohammed  bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, and absolute monarch of Dubai. Al Maktoum’s boat comes in at around 531 feet, making it the second longest privately owned yacht in the world. The only yacht that is bigger is the 538 foot yacht owned by Roman Abramovich, a Russian business man who made his money independently by selling black-market goods.
