25 Most Expensive Yachts Ever Built

The word �yacht� is synonymous with extravagance and luxury and the 25 Most Expensive Yachts Ever Built are the largest, most lavish �toys� on this planet.

Starting off the list, at a mere $46 million dollars, is the Meteor, which happens to boast a library and a fireplace. (Apparently pocket change doesn't buy overindulgences.)

Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, owns the $100 million Tattoosh. (It is, apparently, for sale for anyone who happens to have an extra million tucked away in a shoebox. I'm betting he's going to buy something even more expensive!)The Eos, owned by fashion designer Diane von Furstenber cost a cool $150 million and is said to feature a large sculpture of Diane herself on the deck. (Because... why not?)

Paul Allen may have bought a more expensive yacht. He owns the Octopus, which was purchased for an undisclosed amount of cash but is estimated between $160 and $200 million. This mega-yacht is even equipped with two submarines. (Apparently owning a mega-software company has its benefits. Who knew?)

Stepping it up a notch, $200 million can get you quite the boat. Features can include an indoor pool with a glass roof. Or how about 82 individual rooms with a basketball court and a movie theater? Even cooler than the indoor pool is the infinity pool where the walls double as a movie screen. (Popcorn, please!)

Big apparently begets big. The big price of $250 million for the Al Mirqab just happens to be owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Jessim bin Jaber Al-Thani, former PM of Qatar. (Try saying his name ten times fast!)

Coming in at number 3 on the list is the yacht the Streets of Monaco which is basically a country on a boat. It has roads, mini cars and also includes an airport. While this yacht was purchased for an undisclosed amount, it is estimated at well over $300 million in value. (I always said I wanted to own an island � this would be way cooler!)

Jumping to the whopping price of $800 million is the Eclipse, owned by Roman Abromavich. This boat is equipped with anti-missile defense. (Wow. That's all I can say.)
