Some of the most exquisite yachts in the world:
1. Secret
Estimated Price: $92 million
Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie owns this superyacht Secret, which was built for her in 2013. She’s looking to sell the 271-foot yacht, though, probably because she reportedly owns two more. It’s presently listed for sale for $92 million.
2. Scheherazade
Estimated price: $700 million
This 459-foot superyacht is grand but what really has people buzzing is the mystery about who actually owns it. While Russian oil tycoon Eduard Khudainatov is said to be the owner, the U.S. thinks that the real owner is Russian president Vladimir Putin. Italian police are racing to determine ownership before it sails out of Marina Di Carrara — and slips free of possible sanctions.
3. Pelorus
Estimated price: $300 million
Pelorus has changed owners a few times, passing through those of megayacht owners Roman Abramovich and David Geffen, who upgraded to even bigger boats on this list. The latest owner is property magnate Samuel Tak Lee. He captains the 377-foot yacht via joystick.
4. Radiant
Estimated price: $300 million
Emirati businessman Abdulla Al Futtaim purchased Radiant from Russian media billionaire Boris Berezovsky. It’s clearly evident how this 361-foot superyacht, reportedly worth $300 million and originally named Darius, earned the name Radiant when you see it lit up at night.
