World’s Biggest Yacht Successfully Compensates for World’s Smallest Penis

If you lose half of your net worth in a year, you might think that would be one less reason to build the world’s largest private yacht, right?  Wrong.  It’s more of a reason.  Because every time you think about the billions of dollars you lost and it starts to get you down, hey look at this boat you have!

So went the rationale of Russian oil magnate Roman Abramovich, whose boat is almost ready for the seas.  It is called the “Eclipse” and it is 557 feet long and has a carrying capacity for over 600 douchebags!  Pictures of a big boat, after the jump!  

The big question now is whether Mr. Abramovich–he of billions of dollars in losses–is still the owner. He has lost about half his wealth in the past year, now ranking a mere 51 on the Forbes list of the world’s wealthiest people, with $8.5 billion.

At the end of the article, an update confirms that he is indeed the owner.

He also has two other hungry yachts to support, including the 377-foot Pelorus and the 282-foot Ecstasea. An article in the Daily Mail says the operating costs alone on Mr. Abramovich’s fleet run more than 15 million pounds a year, or roughly $25.6 million.

Eclipse originally was to cost more than $300 million, but the final price isn’t known (Mr. Arbamovich, people in the industry tell me, won’t necessarily have to pay for cost overruns).

Somewhere in Russia, a man’s wife knows that a boat is being loved more than her.

Let me also note that some of these pictures come from a blog called “Superyacht Times.”  An actual publication.  Readers of Superyacht Times might also enjoy Pomade Weekly and Just Pictures of Guys Peeing on the Faces of Poor People Magazine.
