How many yachts does Roman Abramovich have and what is their price?
In 2010 after launching " Eclipse"topped the list of the most expensive yachts on the planet. The construction cost for Roman was almost $400 million. But the final estimate increased the price almost 3 times and amounted to 1.2 billion dollars. Technical equipment, luxury elements, as well as the yacht’s security system have given such an increase in price.
Note.
The most interesting thing is that before construction Eclipse Abramovich already owned several floating craft. Of course, their price tag was much more modest. The businessman bought the first two ships at the end of the 20th century from the oligarch Boris Berezovsky. After which, 20 months later, the oligarch developed a wild passion for these sea giants and the businessman purchased the fifty-meter vessel Sussurro for forty-nine million US dollars. The vessel was serviced by a staff of ten people, and about five million dollars approximate price yacht maintenance per year.
Appetites grew and already at the end of 2002 Roman acquired another vessel Olympia(Olympia). The length of the new yacht was slightly longer and was already 60 meters in length. The price tag was already astounding, fifty million and additional investments of $5 million to improve the new vehicle. 
Owner of a yacht Pelorus The novel became worth almost 8 billion rubles in 2003. The time that has passed since the purchase of the first yachts has only intensified the passion for watercraft. Abramovich invested about three hundred million rubles in improving the yacht. Despite the fact that the yachts were purchased on the secondary market, they were very luxurious and everyone would be jealous. Without thinking twice, the Russian businessman, and today an Israeli citizen, buys an incredible floating palace. The price tag, of course, was slightly less than the previous purchase, but still impressive - just under 7 billion rubles. The length of the yacht amazed everyone, 108 meters. 
Yachts Pelorus And Le Grand Blue Even then they were included in the list of the largest yachts in the world and shared 8th and 9th places. 
By 2004, the oligarch was ready to order a new vessel. The first yacht made for Roman to order, and not purchased second-hand. The name of the ship was the cost of which was $ 123 US dollars. The speed of movement is about 40 knots. The vessel fell under the “royal class” category. 
All the yachts were a “warm-up” for Roman Arkadyevich. The pearl of the collection was the yacht Eclipse, which in English means Eclipse. The size of the ship is amazing - the largest ship ever built on the planet. 
Every Russian seeing Eclipse literally speechless. The incredibly expensive, powerful and naturally gorgeous yacht belongs to the Russian oligarch Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich. It was built in Hamburg at the Blohm and Voss shipyard.

5. Motor Yacht A
Shipyard: Blohm+Voss (Germany)
Estimated owner: Andrey Melnichenko
Vessel's country of registration: Marshall Islands
Yacht length: 119 m
Estimated cost: $255 million

It is known that some interior details, such as staircase handrails, are made of silver. Melnichenko's main cabin has an area of 240 square meters. m, 44 mm glass on the windows can withstand a grenade explosion.
44-year-old native of Gomel Andrei Melnichenko is sometimes called the “king of fertilizers”: among his assets is OJSC Eurochem, the largest in Russia and one of the world’s largest producers of mineral fertilizers. Melnichenko's beneficial share in OJSC Eurochem is 90%. Approximately the same share is in OJSC Siberian Coal Energy Company, the largest in Russia and one of the leading coal companies in the world, and Siberian Generating Company LLC, the leading electric power company in Siberia. Melnichenko's fortune is estimated at $13.4 billion; in 2016, he took 139th place in the Forbes world ranking of billionaires and 11th among Russian billionaires.

The area of its sails on three masts exceeds the area of a football field, and the ship is served by a crew of 54 people, reports lenta.ru. This is the oligarch’s second yacht: the businessman also owns motor yacht “A”, launched in the summer of 2008 after four years of construction. They say that both yachts with the letter “A” are named after his wife Alexandra.
The detention of the new yacht, which arrived in Gibraltar to complete finishing work, is associated with a claim by its manufacturer, the German company Nobiskrug, whose lawyers filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. It claims that the customer, Valla Yachts Limited, did not transfer the last payment of 9.8 million euros on time. The shipbuilders also had other claims in connection with debts on subcontractor accounts, and their total amount is 15.3 million euros.
The 44-year-old owner of the fortune has two reasons to be proud: his wife and yachts. In 2005, the Russian oligarch married the former “Miss Yugoslavia”, Serbian top model Aleksandra Nikolic, whose wedding cost him $40 million. Therefore, when three years later, in 2008, Melnichenko built himself new yacht worth $320 million, he had no doubt what name to give the ship. He named the yacht briefly and laconically, in honor of his beloved wife (and a little in honor of himself): “A”. Since then, the vessel has been considered one of the most famous and luxurious on the planet...
Looking at the unusual ship, Londoners took pictures against its background and published the footage on social networks. Pictures of “A” plying along the main river of the British capital circulated in the English media. “Tens of thousands of ships have passed under Tower Bridge, but few have been as big and luxurious as this one,” writes the Daily Mail. Megayacht “A” was designed by the famous French designer Philippe Starck and built at the Hamburg shipyard Blohm + Voss. The length of the vessel is 119 meters. The design of the yacht caused a variety of opinions. The yacht has been compared to submarines and warships, and journalists agreed that “this is the most attractive and repulsive ship in the world.”
From the blog Spacious, with an area of 240 square meters, Melnichenko’s cabin is located above the wheelhouse. A spiral staircase leads to it along the walls lined with silver sheets, the railings of which cost the billionaire $60 thousand. The double bed stands on a podium that rotates at the touch of a button. Another button controls the rotation of the bed itself, so that the owner lying on it can admire the sunset and sunrise from any position. The faucet alone in the yacht owner's bathroom cost him 40 thousand dollars... The yacht also has three swimming pools, one of which has a glass floor, a helipad, boats and even its own submarine...
Melnichenko has long been able to afford not to sit for days in a stuffy office, but to enjoy the fresh sea breeze on board his yacht in the company of his beautiful wife. With these two things he, in fact, thunders in last years in the gossip column, inviting Hollywood stars of the ranks Demi Moore and Sharon Stone to stay on his ship. Over the course of several years, yacht “A” has been spotted in various parts of the world.
From the blog Over time, the old yacht seemed a little cramped to the billionaire, and last year he built another, larger one, worth $450 million. The oligarch again named the new vessel “A” (Sailing Yacht A), its length is 142 meters. She became ninth on the list of the most large yachts planets.
