It's not news that the world's top billionaires own ridiculously expensive things, from luxury cars to opulent houses and private jets. We have all witnessed that the ultra-rich have a penchant for all things luxury.
But the world's most expensive yacht, the Amevi superyacht, can put even the most extravagant things. And it is owned by none other than the steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal. Here's all about Amevi.
All about superyacht Amevi
Mittal owns a 262-metre Amevi superyacht worth around Rs 1,000 crore. The yacht has a swimming pool, gymnasium, spa and cinema hall. Amevi features a magnificent sky lounge, offering panoramic views and a large terrace to get to the sun decks. It also features a massage room, salon, helipad, and stabilised pool table.
The Amevi superyacht was built in 2007 by Oceanco, a shipyard based in the Netherlands and designed by Nuvolari Lenard. Oceanco is a team of experts who merge the expertise of old-world Dutch craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create unparalleled masterpieces.
Renowned luxury yacht designer Alberto Pinto has designed the interiors of Amevi. It accommodates 16 guests in its 8 VIP rooms and can carry over 20 crew members.
The owner's suite on the upper deck features a cut above the rest with a full-beam design. It also includes a lounge and private outdoor space with two jacuzzis.
The yacht has twin MTU 16V 595 TE70 engines with a total power of 9,100 HP (6,800 kW). The yacht reaches a maximum speed of 18.5 knots or 34.3 kmph, with a cruising speed of around 14 knots or 26 kmph.
Ranked the 7th richest Indian globally, Mittal has embarked on voyages to India, Spain, Gibraltar, and Norway aboard his lavish yacht.
Most expensive yachts by Indian billionaires
Other prominent Indian billionaires who possess yachts include Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Adi Godrej and Gautam Singhania, among others.
Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, reportedly owns an ultra-luxury yacht shaped like a horseshoe, boasting a mind-boggling cost of $100 million. Stretching an impressive 58 meters, the yacht is replete with luxurious amenities, including private suites, a spa, a 25-meter swimming pool, and a lounge bar.
Not to be outdone, his younger brother Anil Ambani, accompanied by his wife Tina Ambani, also purchased a yacht named TIAN, though the exact cost, rumoured to be around Rs 200 crore, remains undisclosed.
Former billionaire Vijay Mallya once used to own a yacht named the Empress of India, which he had bought for an undisclosed amount in 2006. Mallya said in 2018 that the 95-metre yacht was sold for 43.5 million.

Anil Ambani gifts wife Tina Luxury Yacht worth $ 84,000,000
The battle between India’s wealthiest and powerful brothers –Anil and Mukesh Ambani, has reached another level. Close on the heels of his brother Mukesh Ambani gifting a Rs 250crore ($52,362,298) corporate jet to wife Nita last year; younger brother Anil has outdone his brother by buying his wife, Tina a super luxury yacht estimated to cost a whopping Rs 400 crore ($83,784,070). This super luxury yacht is made in Genoa, Italy. Also if rumors are to be believed, it has been a long-cherished dream of Tina to own a luxury yacht and thanks to billionaire hubby, her dream has finally become a reality. The yacht has been named Tian (combining the first two letters of both Tina and Anil’s names), rather unimaginative if you ask me. The couple plans to bring in the New Year on their newly acquired luxury yacht, which is currently anchored near the Gateway of India. Tian is about 34 meters long and costs around Euro 34 million ($47 million) to build.
According to sources, the cost of each running meter of luxury yachts is Euro 1 million ($1.4million). Thus, taking the final cost to around Rs 400 crore, inclusive of customs and excise duties and refurbishing, add sources. Owning this yacht has placed Tina in an exclusive club of Gautam Singhania and liquor baron Vijay Mallya, who also own luxury yachts. Looks like when it comes to pleasing their lovely ladies the two brothers will do almost anything. Source
