Roman Abramovich's Yachts

Image

Roman Abramovich. Proud owner of a number of yachts (hard to keep track of how many as he keeps building new ones and giving away old ones - more on that later!).

Abramovich, a russion multi billionaire is rumlured to have his yachts crewed entirely by ex SAS crew. Security is very near and dear to his heart and who can blame him. His yachts are also rumoured to carry arms and he had a second helipad build closer to his state room. Some say for the convenience of his guests, others say it's for a quick getaway for him and his family should the need arise. What a way to live...

Big Blue Gift?

Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich has given his oldest friend a sea-sational gift — a 75 million pounds’ yacht.

Abramovich, 39, handed over floating palace Le Grand Bleu (Big Blue) to his business lieutenant Eugene Shvidler to thank him for his hard work, The Sun reports.

Shvidler, 41, is also a billionaire and already has a luxury yacht. But his 355 ft present is 178 ft longer and worth 47million pounds more.

The yacht is from Abramovich’s existing armada. It comes complete with 65-strong crew, diving centre, helicopter, aquarium and speedboat.

It was Shvidler who struck the 140million deal for the Russian tycoon to buy Chelsea. He sits on the club’s board and heads Abramovich’s oil firm Sibneft.

A source on the yacht said: “Roman has known Eugene for at least 20 years and he is one of the few men he trusts. He will never forget the part Eugene played in helping him realize his dream of owning a Premiership club.

”He wanted to show his appreciation and felt presenting him with one of his yachts would do it.“

”Eugene is delighted although he told Roman he didn’t expect such largesse.“

Ironically, Shvidler has ticked off his pal in the past for splashing so much cash on his soccer team.

He said: ”My heart bleeds at the amount.“
