Aside from the Emir, other notable owners include Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. All of these owners have made headlines with their extravagant vessels, which are typically priced between $30 million and $400 million. The amenities that come with these vessels vary greatly from owner to owner, but they almost always include luxurious swimming pools, helicopter pads, on-board cinemas, and spas. Some owners opt for more extravagant features, such as submarines, personal submarines, and even their own personal submarines! Other owners prefer to keep their vessels out of the public eye, but for those who prefer a more showy approach, they can certainly make a statement with a superyacht. No matter who owns the vessel, it’s no surprise that these superyachts are a status symbol among the world’s wealthiest. Whether you’re trying to impress your peers or just looking to enjoy a luxurious outing, owning a superyacht is the ultimate way to show off your wealth. What Amenities are Included on Superyachts?Owning a superyacht is a sign of wealth and prestige, and many of the worlds most prominent billionaires have their own vessels. The most expensive superyacht in the world is owned by the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, while other notable owners include Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The cost of a superyacht can range from $30 million to over $400 million, but the price tag doesnt quite capture the sheer extravagance and amenities of these vessels. Superyachts come with all the comforts of home, and then some. Many owners will equip their vessels with swimming pools, helicopter pads, on-board cinemas, spas, and other luxury amenities. The interior of a superyacht can be custom-designed to the owners specifications. Some owners opt for modern, sleek designs, while others prefer a more traditional look. Many of the most luxurious yachts feature marble floors, walk-in closets, and custom-made furniture. Some vessels even come with a full-service gym, complete with exercise equipment and trained professionals. Other amenities may include a library, casino, media room, and private bar. When it comes to outdoor amenities, superyachts have some of the most impressive features in the world. Many yachts come with outdoor entertainment areas, complete with full kitchens, dining rooms, and lounge areas. Some owners even opt for hot tubs or jacuzzis for relaxing afternoons in the sun. And, of course, there are the jet skis, water slides, and other exciting water activities that come with many of these vessels. No matter what amenities a superyacht has, it is sure to be an experience like no other. From the sleek interiors to the luxurious outdoor features, these vessels provide a unique, luxurious experience that is unrivaled on land. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape or an exciting adventure, a superyacht is sure to provide. How Much Do Superyachts Cost? When it comes to superyachts, the sky is the limit when it comes to cost. These luxury vessels come with hefty price tags that can range from anywhere between $30 million to over $400 million. So, if youre in the market for a superyacht, youre looking at an investment that could easily break the bank. The cost of a superyacht is driven by a variety of factors, including size, amenities, and customization. Generally, the larger the yacht, the more expensive it will be. Superyachts typically range in size from 100 feet to over 200 feet, and they can be as wide as 40 feet. The bigger the yacht, the more luxurious features and amenities it will have. Amenities also play a significant role in the cost of a superyacht. While some owners prefer to keep their yachts out of the public eye, others have made headlines with their extensive amenities. From swimming pools and helicopter pads to on-board cinemas and spas, the sky is the limit when it comes to customizing a superyacht. The more amenities a superyacht has, the more expensive it will be. Finally, customization is another major factor that will drive up the cost of a superyacht. Many luxury vessels have custom-designed interiors that are tailored to the owners tastes. From custom furniture and artwork to lighting and audio systems, the cost of a superyacht can quickly escalate depending on the level of customization. In short, the cost of a superyacht can vary widely depending on its size, amenities, and customization. While some may be able to get away with spending a few million dollars, others may end up spending hundreds of millions of dollars on their dream yacht. No matter what your budget is, its important to do your research and find out exactly what youre getting for your money before signing on the dotted line. Keeping Superyachts Out of the Public EyeWhen it comes to owning a superyacht, some owners prefer to keep their vessels out of the public eye. Understandably, these individuals are concerned with privacy and discretion, and therefore tend to take measures to ensure their yachts are not visible to outsiders. For instance, some superyacht owners opt to keep their vessels in private marinas, away from the public areas of larger ports. Additionally, some yacht owners may choose to hire security guards to patrol and protect their vessels while they are moored or sailing. In addition to physical security, some superyacht owners also use technology to keep their vessels out of the public eye. For example, a yacht owner may choose to install a satellite-based communications system that allows them to keep their vessel completely off-radar. This system works by bouncing signals off satellites rather than transmitting them, making it virtually impossible for anyone to track the yachts movements. Finally, some superyacht owners also choose to limit the number of people who have access to their vessels. For instance, the owner may only allow family members and close friends to board the yacht. Additionally, the owner may choose to employ a limited number of staff to help maintain the vessel and keep it running smoothly. These individuals may be required to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure they do not disclose any information about the yacht or its owner. Overall, while some superyacht owners may choose to keep their vessels out of the public eye, there are still plenty of other ways to show off the opulence associated with owning a superyacht. From swimming pools and helicopter pads to on-board cinemas and spas, there are many luxurious amenities that can make a superyacht the envy of any jet setter. Final ThoughtsSuperyachts are a symbol of luxury and status, and the list of yacht owners reads like a who’s who of billionaires. From the Emir of Qatar’s world-record breaking $400 million yacht to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s vessel with a helicopter pad and on-board spa, the amenities of these luxury vessels are truly stunning. With prices ranging from $30 million to over $400 million, owning a superyacht is an expensive endeavor. Whether you’re looking to purchase one or just curious to learn more about the owners and their amenities, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to stay up to date with the superyacht scene.

Chicago, Illinois, May 22, 2015 — Visit a Portillo's restaurant at lunchtime and you'll see a steady stream of customers ordering Italian Beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, french fries and chocolate cake shakes. Recent patrons might have caught a glimpse of Dick Portillo placing his own less decadent order: a single hard boiled egg. There was a reason for his restraint. The founder of the eponymous chain had a big dinner celebration later that night and he didn't want to be too full. That discipline and methodical planning shows up in other facets of Portillo's life, including how he picked a private equity firm to take over his self-made empire. As his business hit 51 years in April 2014, he said he was proud of what he had accomplished. But to take Portillo's to the next level, he knew he needed outside financing. "I was very leery of who I talked to," said Portillo, 75. "I wanted to see who would baby this more, and keep the culture." A self-proclaimed "systems junkie," Portillo put the chain's 38 locations up for sale last year. He quickly had two dozen suitors trying to get their hands on the popular chain. Berkshire Partners was the winning bidder even though, Portillo said, its offer was lower than some others. He said he dismissed a higher offer because it included plans to quickly take Portillo's public; he worried the firm would make hasty changes to try and grow too quickly. One of the things he liked about Berkshire was that it wasn't a restaurant operator looking to replace Portillo's tried-and-true methods with its own restaurant operating systems. A Berkshire official echoed those ideals."We don't have any desire to change the formula at all," said Mike Miles, who is now executive chairman of the Portillo's chain. "The last thing you'd want to do is mess with that formula and mess with that business." Miles said Portillo now is helping him interview prospective CEOs for the chain. Portillo said his restaurant's large menu and various processes, which include preparing nearly everything but the french fries at massive commissaries, differs from chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, which has a more limited menu and list of ingredients. "It is complex, it's very complex. It's also extremely successful." The history buff — he has retraced the sailing path of Christopher Columbus, among other adventures — compares the success of Portillo's business model to building a moat outside a medieval castle to block enemies. "My moat is the complexity of the business and it helps keep the competition away," Portillo said. Portillo's revenue per store is unheard of in fast-food or fast-casual restaurants. An average McDonald's in the United States, for example, brings in nearly $2.5 million in annual revenue. The average newer Portillo's brings in $7 to $8 million. A higher-volume location in Downers Grove sells around $2 million of salads a year, one of many statistics Portillo rattles off. Portillo sees his restaurants as more of a special destination than other fast casual chains. The wide variety means families linger, even with no kids' menus or toys. The company has shipped its food to every state for in-home celebrations. Neither Portillo nor Miles would discuss the financial terms of last summer's acquisition nor the chain's profitability. But Miles, an advisory director at Berkshire Partners with years of restaurant and retail expertise, was quick to say that Portillo's "single unit economics are better than anything I've ever seen." Selling the chain has at times been difficult for Portillo, though he said he still believes it was the right decision at the right time. "I have some regrets occasionally, it's not all of the time. It was a big emotional thing for me," Portillo said of selling his business. His journey started 52 years ago, when he scraped together $1,100 to set up a hot dog stand in a 6- by 12-foot trailer with no running water. Through his new company R&S Growth Management, Portillo oversees real estate investments. Those investments include the land under most of Portillo's restaurants — he leases the space back to Berkshire Partners — along with other ventures such as shopping centers and apartments. Portillo said he aims to buy the land for future Portillo's locations where the space is for sale and would then lease the space to Berkshire Partners. He does not own the land for the upcoming Rockford and Homewood locations, the first new Portillo's set to open in nearly two years. Portillo continues to have connections to his former staff and customers. On a recent weekday, he posed for photos with patrons at the Downers Grove location. His fans include Scott Winch, a landscaper who said he visits the restaurant daily and is partial to the jumbo char dog. "We miss ya boss, we miss ya," Winch, 47, told Portillo as they embraced. "You're the man." One worker brought Portillo a handful of flowers, while another quickly delivered his meal — that single egg — to his table. After coffee, a "good breakfast" such as oatmeal with sliced banana, and a berry, almond milk and protein smoothie, Portillo's typical lunch is fruit and fat-free cottage cheese. He tends to wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m., work out each morning and eat healthy meals, albeit with some indulgence. After all, one of his investments is an 18 percent stake in the Oak Brook location of Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, where he planned to dine later that same night. More often, however, dinner is lighter. He said he eats at Chipotle a lot, and is a fan of its black beans and brown rice. Portillo, a former Marine Corps member and marathon runner, said he was also ready to slow down and "enjoy life" a little bit." There was no balance in my life. It was pretty much all work until about 10 years ago. And I've started going to more funerals than weddings," Portillo said as his sat in his former Oak Brook office. "I would like to spend more time with my grandchildren and children, more time on my boat, and at the same time see the name all over the country, if possible. That could not happen if I would have remained in the position I was in." Portillo has a new office in Oakbrook Terrace with a view of the Chicago skyline, roughly 2-1/2 miles from Portillo's headquarters. The new office serves as meeting place for Portillo, his chief administrative officer and the managing director of R&S. It's also a place to showcase everything from Han Dynasty swords to guns and machetes used by U.S. Marines. Photos of Portillo's family, his restaurants and his adventures adorn tables and walls throughout the space. There are also a few quotations that highlight Portillo's thinking and business strategy. Two sayings get prominent placement on both his new desk and in Oak Brook, where his former office has been transformed into a meeting area. The top silver plaque reads D.W.Y.S.Y.G.T.D. – short for "Do what you say you're going to do." Below it, another plaque reads, "When You Have Somebody By The Balls Don't Let Go To Get A Better Grip." In a hallway outside his Oakbrook Terrace office sits a sculpture titled Self Made Man. The piece, by Bobbie Carlyle, depicts a man carving himself out of stone. It was a Christmas gift from Portillo's wife, Sharon, whom he married in 1959. Portillo showcases his commitment to her outside each restaurant, with "Dick Loves Sharon" carved into the sidewalk cement, and hides the same message in the decor of new restaurants. He still spends time working on the Portillo's business as a consultant to Berkshire Partners, work that includes helping the firm interview potential CEOs for Portillo's. One of Portillo's sons, Michael, still works for the restaurant, training managers. Portillo plans to attend the grand opening events for the chain's Rockford location, which is set to open on June 9. Portillo said the two toughest and most important things Berkshire needs to focus on are site selection — "so far I've been using my gut instincts" — and training. He recalls having to pull aside managers who were not treating workers properly, whether that was overhearing swearing in the kitchen or stopping by a drive-thru lane where an order taker outside on a sub-zero night was not relieved of the frigid duty quickly enough. Portillo said he made the manager gear up and stand outside for the same long 45 minutes. Berkshire Partners is getting ready to open three locations in 2015, with plans for five in 2016. It's paying close attention to places with Chicago transplants, much as Portillo himself did by opening units in Arizona, for example. So fans on the west coast of Florida, along with those in parts of Wisconsin and Texas, will "probably see" Portillo's restaurants in the next five years, Miles said. "We're very conscious about not trying to go too quickly," said Miles, who said that for now there are no plans to franchise any locations or to take the company public. Meanwhile, Portillo spends more of his days taking adventurous vacations, such as a one-month tour of Alaska and a trip through the Panama Canal, both on the 112-foot Westport yacht he got in May. "I'm looking for a bigger one," he says, laughing. Like his prior boats, the latest white yacht carries the name Top Dog. The license plate of his black SUV, meanwhile, reads DPTD, for Dick Portillo Top Dog. Portillo credited his passion for much of his success. "Sometimes it just gave me more energy to go further, to push." He has photos of the Francis Cabrini housing project on Mohawk Street where he spent part of his childhood on the wall of the new office, just a few feet from photos of one of his homes, a mansion in Oak Brook. "We want to keep Dick as involved as possible," said Miles, who said he meets with Portillo weekly when the septuagenarian is in town. "I don't think his passion for the business has waned at all."

 The superyacht owner's guide to bringing dogs on boardTo mark International Dog Day on August 26, BOAT has curated a superyacht owner's guide for bringing dogs on board yachts, complete with advice from experienced superyacht owners on how to keep your furry friends happy at sea. There is a famous adage warning against working with animals and children but, when it comes to yachting, most would agree the opposite is true. The joys of family time on board have long been championed, but for many travellers adding furry family members to the guest list is what really makes the superyacht experience complete. Whether it is crew cats prowling below deck or big dogs leaping from beach clubs, most pets adapt well to life at sea. With a little advance planning, the right gear and some expert advice, your pet can accompany you almost anywhere in the world. A quick scan of the sundecks at yachting hotspots today will reveal that the most common superyacht sidekick, especially for celebrity pet owners , is the dog. Adaptable, trainable and fun-loving, a canine can make a wonderful cruising partner. “There is no greater joy than having your dog on board with you,” says Sabina Nasser , owner of 42.7 metre Mondomarine yacht Bina . Nasser describes her family as “lifelong dog lovers and owners” and their well-travelled pets regularly join them on board. Two are repeat seafarers: Nasser’s brother’s golden retriever, D’Art (short for D’Artagnan) and Ziggy, her nine-month-old cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles spaniel and poodle cross). “Ziggy is the boat’s newest mascot,” she says. “My last dog, Boo, a Yorkie, was also a regular at sea. Dogs are fantastic for adding a special energy and fun.” For Kristin Ducote, not having a dog on board is like leaving a member of the family at home. Ducote and husband Chapman’s long-haired chihuahua, Fleur, accompanies them on longer trips, and they regularly enjoy time with a couple of their relatives’ King Charles spaniels on board too. “Once you see them running and playing on a deserted beach, you’ll know you made the right decision,” she says. “Being on a yachting holiday usually means you have lots of free time for long walks and playing. You have even more time to spend with your pet on your yacht than you do back home.” It has arguably never been easier to bring your dog along on your travels. “Since the relaxation of pet travel regulations in Europe and North America, it has become quite normal to travel with your pets,” says Siobhan Brade, director of Superyacht Veterinary Service, which provides veterinary and pet travel consultancy for yacht owners, whether it is within Europe or on more complex trips around the world. Brade's number-one tip is to plan ahead. "The paperwork, visas and vaccinations required very much depend on the places you have been to before," she says. "Some are quite simple, but some are fairly complicated and can take months of planning. The sooner you can start the process the better, to avoid any last-minute panics and costly itinerary changes.” For Brits, things may become more complicated following Brexit, of course, but if you visit your vet at least four months before you plan to travel, they can advise on the best way to proceed. If you have never been on board with your pet before, Brade advises making sure that they are comfortable travelling first, that they have their sea legs and don’t get stressed by the experience. Every pet is different and not all will immediately take to life on board. When another owner of a 30-metre sailing yacht first brought her Jack Russell on a cruise almost a decade ago, she would never have guessed just how well he would take to life on the water. “Dobby loves sailing,” she says. “He has joined us since he was a puppy and I can’t imagine not being on board with him any more. He loves to be around people and the action, with the wind in his face. He was even on board at our last regatta, the Barcolana in Trieste . He is a true sailor.” Making a yacht pet-friendly is something that many owners do from the outset of the design process. Custom grass patches for pooches to do their business on are quite common, but pet considerations can go even further. Aquarius , the 92 metre Feadship, features a dog door panel behind the owner’s office desk, for example, while the door sensors on the same yard’s 68 metre Lady Christine are positioned at dog height. Add to this extra guard rails, doggy wash stations and even artistic homages to the pet itself, and it’s not unusual for yacht design to thoroughly incorporate the needs of four-legged family members. “Dogs are a big part of many people’s lives – they become a part of the client’s style of yachting and must be accommodated,” says designer Tim Heywood , who worked on the 62.4 metre Amels Madame Kate , named after the owner’s Maltese. Heywood added an extra guard rail to deck edges and stairways, and Kate’s stainless-steel portrait (drawn by Heywood) is the yacht’s logo. He recalls another project where the artistic tribute was slightly less conventional: the client made a replica of his recently deceased German shepherd, which sat as a guard dog at the top of the passerelle. Peter van der Zanden, head of design and development at Heesen , says that the primary concern in designing for pets is safety. On the Dutch yard’s 49.8 metre Monaco Wolf , a project that was adjusted for the owner’s dogs, the space between the railings is protected by glass or grilles, for example, and there are also extra-small staircase gates. Specially conceived swim platforms also make life easier and safer for pets. Roberto Cavalli’s yacht Freedom saw designer Tommaso Spadolini create a large gangway with steps that can be lowered into the water, allowing the owner’s two German shepherds, Lupo and Lapa, to swim safely. This kind of adjustment is not a prerequisite though. “Our carpets are white, our sofas are white, Bina is a very white boat,” laughs Nasser. “She’s not especially suited to dogs. We, of course, take safety measures to make sure there are no dog overboard situations, but we didn’t make any special compromises on the interior design.” From doggy life jackets to temporary gates, Ducote assures that there are a whole host of things you can do to make a trip safer for your dog without installing special features. Ask anyone who owns both a yacht and a dog and they will tell you that, ultimately, the key to your pup’s happiness on board lies with the crew. From regular teeth brushing and walks on remote sandbars, to special meals, handmade toys and swimming lessons, nothing is too much. The crew of 55 metre Amels Gene Machine found themselves with their first dog on board last summer, the owners’ daughter’s Pomeranian called Versace. “We had to win over his trust and make sure he was safe at all times,” says Emma McDonald, chief stewardess on board. “Most of my day was centred around him and his needs. I think I speak for everyone when I say it’s hard not to smile when a fluffy little puppy comes running up to you wanting a cuddle. The deck crew gave him swimming lessons, he went jet-surfing, jet-skiing and paddleboarding. But his favourite thing was sunbathing in the inflatable giant unicorn or flamingo.” By the end of his two-month trip, Versace knew his way round the boat and could often be found in the galley enjoying morsels of Wagyu beef from the chef, or cuddled up with crew members for naps, bringing new meaning to the phrase “it’s a dog’s life”. “Our crew loved the animal diversion,” says Delisa Mayer, who with her husband, Tony, and three children took their four-year-old Labrador Levi (and 13-inch bearded dragon Pu) around the world on board The Big Blue . “Staff often spend hours doing manual labour or long watches, so to be with Levi or Pu was a nice break from the normal routine.” High on the list of crew duties when dogs are on board is “business time”, whether this is toilet training or making RIB rides ashore for toilet breaks. While every dog is different and will have a preferred scenario, the logistics of life at sea often mean that it isn’t always possible to find land. Puppy pads or “grass” patches allow dogs, both large and small, to do their business on board during longer periods at sea – but this obviously requires a bit of co-operation. The Mayers began training Levi while they were still in Fort Lauderdale, three weeks before setting sail. Even then, he only got the hang of it three days after leaving port. For the Mayers, taking Levi on such a long and off-the-beaten-path voyage came with its share of challenges (like toilet training) as well as rewards. He watched orcas follow beside the boat; he got lost hiking in the Marquesas and had to be lowered down a four-metre cliff; he met fascinated villagers on remote islands; and he snoozed at the children’s feet during lessons in their onboard classroom. Being able to take the family dog with them ultimately guaranteed lifelong memories. More yacht owners may be taking their pets on ocean adventures every year, but charter guests might find it harder to source a pet-friendly yacht . Stephanie Archer, senior charter manager at Ocean Independence, believes that there should be space for more charter yachts that welcome pets. “It is increasingly the case that a line shouldn’t be drawn at children for inclusion in a family yachting holiday, but extended to dogs as well, wherever possible,” she argues. Archer is no stranger to accommodating pets on charters and Ocean Independence has had several pet-friendly yachts in its feet over the years. One such was 60-metre Katina, previously managed by Archer. The yacht’s captain, Antonio Koludrović, recalls one charter party with a lively Pomeranian who was on board for a 46-day trip. This particular canine followed the same vegan diet as his owner and would often frequent the crew mess looking for meat-free treats and plenty of attention. Dobby’s owner remarks that since she started sailing with her dog, it seems like nearly half of all the yachts they encounter have a four-legged friend on board. “These ‘yacht dogs’ sense each other and greet each other across the water; it’s sweet,” she says. And she is not surprised that so many are choosing to bring their furry companions with them. “There is honestly nothing negative about it. We have been everywhere from Montenegro and Croatia to Spain and Capri , and Dobby has only ever added joy.” Top owner tips
