The most expensive object a person can own

Out on the open sea floats what may be the most expensive object a single person can own: the megayacht. They call it that for a reason, and almost nothing about it is reasonable.

A private world that travels with you

A megayacht can stretch up to six hundred feet, a private world that moves with its owner wherever the water leads. There is even a helipad on deck, because arriving by boat is simply too slow. Step inside, and the floors turn to marble and gold, while the owner’s suite alone is larger than most family homes. A full crew keeps all of it running around the clock.

The cost of living this way

Living this way burns through tens of millions of dollars every year, which is why only a few hundred people on Earth will ever own one. It is the most expensive toy ever built, sailing quietly into the sunset.
