    Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can build you some frankly ridiculous luxury yachts that would bring a smile to most people’s faces.

    You’re going to need some crazy oil baron kind of money to make this list, because number five cost a cool $527 million (R8,27 billion) to build.

    We’re getting ahead of ourselves though, so let’s run through that list with the help of BusinessInsider:

    5. Topaz — 147 metres / 483 feet. Constructed in Berlin, the Topaz was launched in 2012. It has a gym, cinema, jacuzzi and conference room.

    4. Al Saïd — 155 metres / 509 feet. Built in 2006 for the Sultan Qaboos of Oman, the Al Saïd has the highest water displacement of any on the list at 15,850 tonnes. It also has a concert hall that can accommodate​ a 50-strong orchestra.

    3. Dubai — 162 metres / 532 feet. This gigantic yacht was commissioned by Prince Jefri of Brunei in 1996 and is currently owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Apart from the usual luxuries, the Dubai also has a 21 metre wide atrium to impress the 24 capacity guests staying overnight.

    2. Eclipse — 162.5 metres / 533 feet. The world’s second-biggest superyacht was launched in 2009 at a reported cost of $500 million (£342 million) for Russian billionaire and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich. It takes an annual voyage to the Caribbean to take passengers back to Abramovich’s home in St Barth’s.

    luxyachts1234

    1. Azzam — 180 metres / 591 feet. Built by German company Lürssen Yachts, who made six of the top ten entries, the world’s biggest private superyacth has an unknown owner, though many speculate it belongs to the royal family of Abu Dhabi. It cost an estimated $600 million (£411 million) and supposedly houses a submarine with its own missile defence system.

    I don’t know what your bank balance looks like, but if you’re a few pennies short it never hurts to try win Friday’s Mega Millions lotto (HERE).

    Sure it’s just the R3,4 billion this time around but at least it’s a start.
