Andrey Melnichenko – Sailing Yacht A, Estimated $600 Million
Being the main beneficiary of both EuroChem Group and SUEK, Andrey Melnichenko has a fortune equal to $15.8 billion! In 2017, he decided to invest $600 million into his sailing hobby, buying one of the world’s largest sailing boats! He named it Sailing Yacht A. It’s 300 feet high, meaning that it’s almost as tall as the Statue of Liberty!
Philippe Starck designed two of these mega-yachts, and Andrey bought both, in 2017. He’s since been seen sailing anywhere from Monaco to Cyprus with them. Sailing Yacht A needs 54 crew members, while it can house up to 20 guests. It has eight decks and even an underwater viewing pod!
