When it comes to luxury assets, few purchases are as eye-catching as a billionaire’s yacht. For the world’s wealthiest individuals, these vessels serve as private retreats, vacation homes and transportation all rolled into one. 

Many of today’s billionaire-owned yachts cost hundreds of millions of dollars and are customized with features most people only see at high-end resorts. From onboard spas and movie theaters to helicopter pads and sprawling guest suites, these yachts offer a look at how extreme wealth translates into life on the water.

• Multiple guest staterooms with luxe décor
• Teak decks and elegant interiors
