Azzam, rumored to be owned by a member of the UAE royal family, is the most sophisticated and hardest boat ever built, according to its designers. The superyacht Azzam was the world’s largest private boat for six years after her introduction in April 2013. The size was never the ultimate goal for exterior designer Nauta Design. Rather, the goal was to design a streamlined vessel with classic, timeless lines. The superyacht was originally planned to be 145 meters long, but it grew throughout the optimization process, and Mario Pedol, the founder of Nauta Design, considers it a tremendous compliment when enthusiasts claim the vessel appears smaller than its actual length.

Cost: $4.8 Billion
The 100-foot History Supreme takes the gold-encrusted cake among the luxurious yachts we’ve discussed previously.

The 100-foot boat took three years to construct, requiring 10,000 kg of solid gold and platinum.

The master bedroom of the luxury yacht is the most lavish, featuring a meteorite rock wall feature and a statue carved from authentic Tyrannosaurus Rex bones. 68 kg of a 24-carat gold Aquavista Panoramic Wall Aquarium and a liquor bottle with a rare 18.5-carat diamond adorn the master suite.
