For lessons in how to spend millions, Russian billionaires are a good place to start.It is considerably over budget at a reported $1.2bn (£722m) but Roman Abramovich's yacht is a fine example of how not to scrimp.
The Eclipse - which resembles the floating home of a James Bond villain - is almost the length of two football pitches.
It is said 70 crew members are needed to run the yacht. Security on board is so tight there are missile defence and intruder detection systems, as well as a system which can detect paparazzi cameras.
It also has two helipads, 11 guest cabins, two swimming pools (one of which can be drained and converted into a dance floor), three launch boats, an aquarium and a mini-submarine. - Marie Jackson, BBC Special Report
