Meet Billionaire Owner Of The World's Most Expensive Yacht Amevi; It's Worth Rs 1,000 Crore

It's not news that the world's top billionaires own ridiculously expensive things, from luxury cars to opulent houses and private jets. We have all witnessed that the ultra-rich have a penchant for all things luxury.

But the world's most expensive yacht, the Amevi superyacht, can put even the most extravagant things. And it is owned by none other than the steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.  Here's all about Amevi.

All about  superyacht  Amevi

Mittal owns a 262-metre Amevi superyacht worth around Rs 1,000 crore. The yacht has a swimming pool, gymnasium, spa and cinema hall. Amevi features a magnificent sky lounge, offering panoramic views and a large terrace to get to the sun decks. It also features a massage room, salon, helipad, and stabilised pool table.

The Amevi superyacht was built in 2007 by Oceanco, a shipyard based in the Netherlands and designed by Nuvolari Lenard. Oceanco is a team of experts who merge the expertise of old-world Dutch craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create unparalleled masterpieces.  

Renowned luxury yacht designer Alberto Pinto has designed the interiors of Amevi. It accommodates 16 guests in its 8 VIP rooms and can carry over 20 crew members.

The owner's suite on the upper deck features a cut above the rest with a full-beam design. It also includes a lounge and private outdoor space with two jacuzzis.

The yacht has twin MTU 16V 595 TE70 engines with a total power of 9,100 HP (6,800 kW). The yacht reaches a maximum speed of 18.5 knots or 34.3 kmph, with a cruising speed of around 14 knots or 26 kmph.

Ranked the 7th richest Indian globally, Mittal has embarked on voyages to India, Spain, Gibraltar, and Norway aboard his lavish yacht.

Most expensive yachts by Indian billionaires

Other prominent Indian billionaires who possess yachts include Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Adi Godrej and Gautam Singhania, among others.

Mukesh Ambani, Asia's richest man, reportedly owns an ultra-luxury yacht shaped like a horseshoe, boasting a mind-boggling cost of $100 million. Stretching an impressive 58 meters, the yacht is replete with luxurious amenities, including private suites, a spa, a 25-meter swimming pool, and a lounge bar.

Not to be outdone, his younger brother Anil Ambani, accompanied by his wife Tina Ambani, also purchased a yacht named TIAN, though the exact cost, rumoured to be around Rs 200 crore, remains undisclosed.

Former billionaire Vijay Mallya once used to own a yacht named the Empress of India, which he had bought for an undisclosed amount in 2006. Mallya said in 2018 that the 95-metre yacht was sold for 43.5 million.

Ambani's Jets, Mittal's Yachts: Luxurious Rides Of The Ultra-Rich

Who Owns What

Private yachts and customised planes. Check out the travel modes of the jet set that double up as meeting venues, party hangouts and spots to host special occasions. For those Indians — and those with desi roots — who are counted among the world’s wealthy, island hopping in Europe aboard their customised 200-feet yacht or taking off in their bespoke jet across the continent are but a way of putting a monogram on their commute. Take a look at the rides of the jet set:

Lakshmi Mittal’s Amevi

In 2014, this London-based billionaire was spotted relaxing on the Greek island of Mykonos, dressed casually in a white T-shirt and baggy shorts. A newspaper report speculated that while Mittal lounged on the beach alongside other tourists, his 262-feet-long yacht Amevi was parked in the waters nearby. Some amenities on board: Sun decks, a heated swimming pool, a cinema, a gym, a massage room, a hairdressing salon as well as a unique, stabilised pool table to name a few.

Mukesh Ambani’s Boeing Business Jet

More than a decade ago, it was reported that Ambani gifted his wife, Nita, a private jet on her 44th birthday. It was said at the time that this jet was “custom-fitted with an office and a cabin with game consoles, music systems, satellite television and wireless communication. It also has a master bedroom, a bathroom with a range of showers and a bar with mood lighting”. As his personal ride, Ambani reportedly favours a Boeing Business Jet. “Most often, they want access to the same amenities in the air.” That’s how the airplane maker describes their customer’s requirement, a.k.a, a flying home, as that’s what’s wanted.

Ravi Ruia’s Sunrays

“The ultimate guest and owner’s yacht.” That’s how the captain of Sunrays, delivered in March 2010 describes it. According to a description of the yacht available on the Oceanco’s website, “The upper deck is given over to the owner’s suite and an adjacent VIP suite that can be combined to create one expansive living area. Both suites have fold-down sea balconies. The owner’s exterior foredeck hosts a whirlpool and sunbathing area. The remainder of the yacht’s accommodations for up to 16 guests is on the main deck with one VIP stateroom and four guest cabins.” The large dining room can be converted into a video conference room with the optional use of the adjacent library. Foldable sea balconies provide guests unimpeded views while dining.

Kumar Mangalam Birla’s Cessna Citation

A blog published by an apparel brand, owned by the Aditya Birla Group, documented the private jets of India’s rich and famous. The listicle included the jets owned by Birla, the Group’s chairman. It said, “Few people know that this sharp, business-minded entrepreneur also has a sweet tooth, when it comes to sweet flying machines, with his Gulf Stream (G100) and Cessna Citation...It’s believed that Citations are the world’s most established, well-liked and most trusted fleet of business jets. The jet has high-tech design of pilot-friendly flight decks and luxury cabin interiors. Birla is often spotted taking a ride in his luxurious aircrafts.”

Sunil Vaswani’s Platinum

This Dubai-based billionaire’s yacht is apparently a fixture in the Mediterranean and was even spotted at the French Riviera around the time that the Cannes Film Festival was held this year, with others in the list for company. Vaswani, who is considered to be one of the richest Indians in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, was once described as he “who lives on multiple continents and sails the Mediterranean each summer in an all-purpose luxury yacht”. The logo of the Stallion Group, which he heads, adorns the yacht.

Ratan Tata’s Dassault Falcon 2000

Tata’s love for aviation is an open secret. But he is perhaps one of the handful of billionaires in the world who not only owns a private jet, but even flies one. “A lot of people know that Ratan Tata owns a Dassault Falcon 2000 private jet but, what they do not know is that since Tata is a trained pilot, he even flies his own private jet and other jets owned by the Tata group,” said an earlier report.

Reuben Brothers’ Siren

“While watching the boat slowly taking shape in Rendsburg, we suddenly became aware of how seductive and mysterious she seemed. We just knew then that we had to call her SIREN and we are absolutely delighted with the result.” That’s the quote attributed to the owner of the 241 feet-long Siren, on the website of Nobiskrug, the German company that built the yacht. Presumably the owner quoted in question is either David Reuben or his brother Simon. Commonly referred to as the Reuben Brothers, they trace their roots back to Mumbai, and are counted among the UK’s richest individuals. Theirs is an award-winning superyacht with a foldable helicopter platform, that can double up as “a sundeck, a dance floor or a stage”.

Adar Poonawalla’s Gulfstream G550

Earlier this year, this scion became the first Indian to take delivery of a fully customised, ACH145 helicopter by Airbus. While his new ride, with a seating capacity of eight is great for covering relatively shorter distances, his Gulfstream G550 aircraft is reportedly his transportation of choice for long-haul journeys. In an earlier interview, Poonawalla had said, “With a 13-hour range, it (his jet) can take me to anywhere in the world with a single halt.” The report further added, “The plane can also come in handy when he (Poonawalla) craves continental food and in case he wants to fly in Michelin star chefs to cook for his friends and him.”

Mittal's 100 million pound superyacht moors in Palma

But the Amevi has been chartered by the President of the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan who held talks on Sunday with King Juan Carlos of Spain and went sailing on board the royal yacht Fortuna. Nursultan Nazarbayev is using the yacht as a floating base while he is in Palma. It is unclear how long the vessel will remain in Palma.

The Mittal family first went sailing on their luxury yacht in 2007, shortly after the Amevi had been completed. According to one British newspaper the first cruise was not altogether a success. They set sail from Barcelona on April 5 last year and headed to Ibiza but the weather was not on their side.

Despite the boat's modern stabilisers, built into her design, the 262ft-long vessel took the full brunt of the weather, terrifying everyone onboard. Their trip lasted ten days with rumours of certain members of Mittal's family swearing never to leave the safety of dry land again despite the yacht's various luxuries which include a gym, cinema and swimming pool Mittal, a labour donor and father of two, lives in a 70 million pound mansion which he bought from Ernie Ecclestone in 2004. Luckily for Nursultan Nazarbayev, bad weather shouldn't be affecting his stay on the yacht at the moment. Nazarbayev has been president of Kazakhstan since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. However, his large private wealth is surrounded in controversy, with allegations that he has transferred at least $1 billion worth of oil revenues to his private bank accounts in other countries.

In April this year he was the first torchbearer of the Kazakhstan part of the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay in Almaty.
