Out of Pod Experience

As I was watching on Britain's Film4 channel Brewster’s Millions...again several weeks back I wondered after the films happy ending - I like happy endings in films - how any of us like Brewster would cope with such a huge sum of money with conditions suddenly being dropped in our lap.

Who knows but there could be another you or me in a parallel existence/dimension, and the other you or me could have got the winning ticket in a multi Euro roll over, and the next day you or me get a visit from a lawyer to inform you or me your or my...great great uncle Albert you or I didn't know you or I had, and who your and my family thought was long dead as he had moved west decades ago wasn't dead, but is now and he was a mega billionaire through various profitable ventures when he died, and he's left his whole estate to the other you or me. ...

Cont'd

So, as you or I in a possible parallel existence/dimension are now one of the nouveau riche uber wealthy, through your or my double stroke of really good financial luck I found this site http://most-expensive.com/ for all kinds of things and services that are the most expensive things that money can buy.

I've also found this to give some direction to our other self’s financial good luck http://www.forbes.com/2007/03/06/lux..._0308live.html

And now thanks to having a Euro multi rollover jackpot winning ticket, and great great uncle Albert's will bequest the other you or me could/can now afford all the finer and really expensive material things in life, and we can maintain doing it for the rest of our life without having to do what Brewster had to do, and with the wills conditions as a block for the other you or me to not be as stupid and as spendthrift as Michael Carroll aka king chav was.

I have also found a few similar sites with similar stuff to what’s in the most-expensive web site for high lifers to be able to buy and enjoy.

Somewhere to live

Even mega billionaires need a place to live in, and to hang up and put their expensive clothes in, and park their expensive car in a garage.

Long before I did this post and even longer before I joined DS I have liked looking at pictures and where there was videos of expensive and exclusive property and wealthy peoples things in general as I in this dimension can't afford any of them , and like the above clothes there is a mass of different styles of flats and houses on the market in exclusive areas that only the wealthy can afford, but we all have different tastes.

I have seen some really nice and cosy 1 and 2 bed flats costing a mere half a million to 3 million £ in nice area's of London and Paris and New York ... that I'd be quite happy living in, and some grand multi roomed penthouses and flats all over the world costing 20 to 30 million and houses costing the thick end of up to 100 million, with some over that, and I though they were just awful, and would never contemplate living in them even if I had the money to do so. But then your taste is different to my taste, what I think is awful; you might think yeah that'll do for me.

However, as a mega billionaire thanks to the Euro winning multi roll over ticket, and great great uncle Albert’s (sic) will, you or I other self can now afford some uber expensive property, like this little place in London http://most-expensive.com/home-britain-uk

And for variety one of these places

http://most-expensive.com/homes-market and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOtqgzkftXc

OR maybe the other you or I would want their own Island http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJxjsDSRWqo …

Expected some 420 blaze all day thread... But i don't think you, or your other self, in some rich uncle parallel universe, is smoking what i'm smoking... Not even once!

Most 'films' I watch have 'happy endings'.

Theyd be most disappointing if they didn't.

Private Jets i.e. beyond First Class

In America there are 75 major commercial airports, but for private jets for different runway lengths there are 5,200 destinations, multiple that by all the other nations airports, and that's why a private jet is the only way to go for your or my now mega billionaire other self to get around the world.

Plus with a corporate/private jet you avoid all the usual airport routine malarkey, your chauffeur simply drives through an airport separate gateway, and on to the airports private jet parking area, and right up to the jets steps, then you, and your wife/gf/bf/kids simply get out of the limo and walk over to the jet and board it, while your luggage is taken out of the limo's boot and loaded on to the jet, no queuing to check in, no seat allocation, no security to go through, and AFAIK no passport check or visa ect as the passport stamp ect has probably already been arranged and done beforehand when you were on the way to the airport by your PA. I or the other you and your/my wife/gf/bf/kids just exit the limo, and board the jet, and just make yourself comfortable in a seat, and have my/your stewardess get me/you a glass of really good champagne as you wait for my/your pilots to do their thing to get the jet airborne.

Here are the 10 most expensive jets our other selves could now buy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxFuglalvP8

The vvip converted commercial airliners restrict where you can fly them, especially No 1, of which one had been bought by the Saudi prince who's has had the worlds biggest superyacht build, but I have read he's since sold the jet.

Dedicated private, corporate, vip and vvip jets come in 6 flavours, very light jets, light jets, midsize, super mid size, large cabin jets, and heavy jets which are the converted airliners on the You Tube top 10 video.

And if you have that kind of money to spend, my or your other self would have a whole range of private corporate jet makers to choose from that would like the other you or me to spend it on their aircraft.

Here's what’s on sale to choose from.

Cessna: http://www.cessna.com/citation: videos for the M2, J4 and Latitude, X: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAUHbRUj2xU Longitude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icI6Liw9KP8 Cessna I have read have 50% ish of the jet market.

Hawker / Beechcraft: http://xpr.hawkerbeechcraft.com/ - Only used Hawker Jet refurbishment is now offered as the jet construction line has been closed owing to Beechcraft going bankrupt, and they are now focusing solely on their more profitable piston prop line of aircraft, which explains why so many Hawker Jets are now on the used market. i.e. the owners are trying to sell them, so they can most likely buy another mid size jet from a different company with better support.

Super/Mega yachts

For a new mega billionaire like my or your other self, the expensive clothes and bling, jewellery ect for the wife/gf/bf, and me/yourself is their equivalent of pin money, and the expensive cars are just a little bit more expensive, and a private jet and property are more costly still, but to really show you are wealthy, and to give your private helicopter something to head for to make an entrance, for me the real sign of being a high lifer is a super/megayacht, as the cost of that little place in London, would not buy you the construction cost of the biggest megayacht, and not even one as big as 147 meter/482 foot Topaz - the port is Nice in southern France - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzEysaS8y9Q The black one passing it is 'Alibi' a mere 51 meters, or 167 ft 3 inch long, and she is for sale for just 15.75 million Euros. http://www.superyachts.com/motor-yacht-2136/alibi.htm

‘Superyachts’ are yachts longer than 24 metres or 79 feet. Above this size certain rules and regulations apply, crew must be employed, and the whole nautical experience becomes much more exclusive, and naturally more expensive.

This for me is the sign of real wealth, and ftm what I'm currently interested in and into, and what I would love to be able to own and run and maintain, and what I'd have built to a/my custom design if I really was a mega billionaire, but I can't even afford to buy and run a very small outboard powered boat.

An expensive car is nice, as are nice designer clothes for me and the probably high maintenance lady(s) I'd be in a relationship(s) with, and a private jet and helicopter is just a tool for getting around in to help the other you or me run a global business, and expensive houses and flats is somewhere for the lady and me to live and entertain in, but a super/megayacht is for relaxation, and to impress and party.

Like the above mentioned private jets motor cruisers and super/megayachts come in three flavours depending on the design and size of their hull. They are planing, semi displacement and displacement.

Most motor cruisers built are either planing, or semi displacement, and only the largest cruisers and super/megayachts tend to have displacement hulls.

Planing hulls are what used to be called 'speed boats', in that they are not that efficient when at slow speeds, and only come into their own at speed when only the stern third part of the hull is in contact with the water, and they have a shallow V hull to plain over the water. The video of the Azimut 40S http://www.azimutyachts.com/azimut40s-video.html shows it has a planing hull. They are good for speed, but have short ranges, as the engine(s) consume fuel at AFAIK a rate of around 40 gallons per hour.

Semi displacement hulls are the half way house, in that they have a deeper V hull, and when at speed plain two thirds of the hull are in the water, most of the cruisers from all the boat yards have semi displacement hulls. Here is a video of the British Princess 52 foot motor cruiser showing it is a semi displacement hull http://www.princessyachts.com/flybridge/princess-52

Semi displacement hulls are good for general cruising speeds of 20+ knots, and up to 40+ knots flat out, and have moderate to good ranges for long weekend cruising at their cruising speeds then of a planing hull, and for bursts of speed when needed, and such boats come with cabins with full double beds and full shower rooms and toilet facilities and galley ect for beside the owner and his/her wife/gf/bf 2 to 12 guests depending on the cruisers size, in length semi displacement motor cruisers are from 32 feet upward to well over 100 feet aka a pocket superyacht, the larger ones require a small crew or some experienced boating guests, and an experienced captain if the owner isn't experienced enough to pilot such a large boat. A 52 foot motor cruiser like the above Princess 52 is about the largest boat that a single owner captain can handle without a crew, unless he or she really knows how to pilot a bigger motor cruiser, and/or has friends or family that are sea experienced and can do as they are told regarding securing the boat in a marina ect.

The last is the displacement hulls, and all larger motor cruisers and super and mega yachts have them, as the shape, and size of the yacht's hull combined with its weight makes it plough though the water, and they are limited in size solely by the finances of the owner. The range of super/mega yachts is much greater then cruisers and is measured in the thousands of miles, and why most super and mega yachts have a bulbous bow to reduce wave drag on their hull for fuel efficiency.

The advantages are a smooth cruise on calm seas, but the hull size requires the employment of a crew and captain as mandatory. …

The Italian company, Ferretti Group, who's companies each trade under their own name, as they probably were too small to survive in business on their own. They are Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Bertram Yacht Inc [American yard], Riva S.p.A., CRA S.p.A, Mochi Craft, CRN or Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali and Custom line.

Here is a corporate highlight video of the 9 yards in the Ferretti Group.

With the exception of CRN they don't build superyachts, they make luxury motor sports/motor cruiser yachts, with their longest boats knocking on the door of superyacht status.

Their 124 foot flagship http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OosNhSKhPtk

I don't care for it, as the raised pilot house has no hard cover roof, unless it’s an option, and in the hot Med or Caribbean summer you are getting no shade, and have to put up with the full heat of the Sun, and the reflection off the white floor, and if it rains you are forced inside.

Instead I prefer this one http://www.ferretti-world.com/en-us/...IdBm=44&IdM=69 or either of the two smaller versions.

One aspect of European absolute yacht design superiority over America's efforts is in yacht communication. In the above photographs and videos on the super/megayachts you will see the familiar dome shaped satcom fixtures on top of the masts, these are apparently referred to in the super/megayacht business as 'Mickey Mouse ears', and are the bane of yacht designers, but they may soon be a thing of the past in the next generation of yachts when things get economically better, and designers will not be restricted in having to work around Mickeys ears. http://megayachtnews.com/2013/09/e3-...#axzz2felIZuXq

If you have a super/megayacht you have to have somewhere to berth it if you don't want to use the tenders all the time, and of course the bigger the yacht the harder it is for your crew.

This marina is IYCA, Antibes, France, one of the Mediterranean premier marinas, and superyachts seem to have their own favoured berths, with one 80 meter berth currently up for sale http://www.boatinternational.com/201...fraser-yachts/, as this one http://www.superyachtfan.com/superya...ht_katara.html has docked in the same place before.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te9EQ5TckyI

The big blue one next to it is the 82 meter Sarafsa build here in Britain. http://www.superyachts.com/motor-yacht-3657/index.htm

The biggest Feadship to date!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb08C4ivJGs

As the description says this Feadship is 99 meters long. But I don’t care for the design as the bow is far too long for my taste, as it looks to thin and the bow length makes the yacht look unbalanced. And I’m not keen on the colour either.

The one on the right with the V funnels is an 85 meter Benetti design owned by the Saudi prince who has had that world’s biggest one built to replace this one, and this one has had a chequered history.

http://www.superyachtfan.com/superya...gdom_5_kr.html

Katara is docked on the other side of Safara which is docked next to the white one which is the 53.5 meters Feadship Majestic http://www.burgessyachts.com/en/majestic-00006588.html which you can charter for a mere 399,000 Euros a week and Katara is 25 meters longer then this Madame Gu Feadship blue one.

To get more videos on super yachts apart from naturally You Tube these are good sources http://www.superyachts.com/ and http://www.yachtsxl.com/

Note: On a point of interest you will have noticed the average numbers of places at the formal dining tables are 8 - 10 - 12 places. Some have up to 16 places for the bigger superyachts. The reason is that the Safety Of Life At Sea or SOLAS maritime regulations is if a superyacht has including the owner and his/her wife/bf/gf more then 12 guests, it isn't classified as a yacht, super or otherwise but as a passenger ship, and different regulations for the yacht come into effect. But AFAIK the new SOLAS regulations being introduced to reflect bigger super and mega yachts the number of guests can be increased depending on the size of the yacht in question with up to 24 as on Serene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o64ifFY5ao4 right up to Roman Abramovich's megayacht Eclipse with a guest capacity for 36 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v77aSBdl4k with it not effecting the classification of it being a recreational vessel. And some of the Arab royal yachts have cabins for up to 40 guests.

As for the super/megayacht tenders, for sports tendering and classic Italian styling the Riva Aquariva Super http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V951X...ture=endscreen or its modern successor priced at 280,000 Euro's or £237,400 the Iseo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZH-xC7i5jw takes some beating, as their design is sheer elegance. For limousine tenders the Hodgdon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtET9VfZHx4 also takes some beating. …

As for running costs of luxury and sports cruisers up to super and mega yachts, for the large yachts apart from insurance, ship provisions, crew wages/salary, their medical costs/insurance, pension contributions, and berthing and maintenance charges ect, fuel is a major cost for motor yachts of all sizes.

Diesel at my local Sainsbury's where I fill up the car is knocking on the door of £1.36 a litre, so if motor yacht diesel is the same price.

The smallest fuel tank of all the above boats and cruisers is for the Riva ISO at 330 litres, but this isn't a cruiser, but even so it'll still cost you a little over £448 per fill up.

**

The Azimuth yacht sports cruiser with the smallest fuel tank is the Atlantis 34 http://www.azimutyachts.com/azimutatlantis34.html

This little runabout has a 650 litre fuel tank, so it'll cost you a little over £884 per fill up.

**

For comparison Princesses smallest yacht sports cruiser is the Princess V39 http://www.princessyachts.com/vclass/princess-v39

This sports cruiser has a 730 litre tank, so it'll cost you a little over £992 per fill up.

**

Sunseekers smallest boat is the Portofino 40 http://www.sunseeker.com/en/range/po...o/portofino-40

This has a 750 litre fuel tank, so it'll cost you a little over £1,020 per fill up.

I've not included Sealine as they are more or less no longer in business.

But our other selves are probably not after a small cruiser as a week or long weekend run-around for fun times with the opposite/same sex, but something much bigger and more luxurious for longer range trips and for more people to party on.

So, at the other end of the above examples, and the biggest luxury cruiser in the Azimut range is the new 140 Trideck http://www.azimut-yachts.com/en/boat...0_--trideck---

There is no video for it yet, so this is the smaller 100 Leonardo http://www.azimutyachts.com/azimut100leonardo.html - Sorry about its video but this is the only one on the 100 Leonardo I could find.

This one has a 10,750 litre fuel tank, so it'll cost you a little over £14,620 per fill up.

The 140 Trideck has an 18,000 litre fuel tank, so it’ll cost you £24,480 per fill up.

**

Still going up the scale, the biggest luxury cruiser in the Ferretti group is the Custom Line 124 footer. She has a 21,640 litre tank, so will cost you a little over £29,430 per fill up.

**

Sunseekers 40 meter is the fore mentioned former flagship. She has a 23,560 litre standard fuel tank, so it'll cost you a little over £32,041 to fill her up, and apparently she has an optional tank for long range, for 28,710 litres total which will cost you a little over £39,045 per fill up.

**

The Imperial Princesses is the fore mentioned Princess flagship. She has a 29,345 litre tank, so it'll cost you a little over £39,909 per fill up.

**

And Sunseekers top yacht is the 155 with a 60,000 litre fuel tank and this one will cost you or Eddie £81,600 per fill up. But you can go 4,000 nautical miles before you have to fill her tank up again.

**

All this might seem increasingly expensive, but it is not much compared to the bigger superyacht fuel costs.

The latest Bennetti superyacht delivered to date is the lovely 65 meters Nataly http://www.benettiyachts.it/modelli/custom/nataly

She has a 160,000 litre fuel tank, so it'll cost you £217,600 per fill up, but you can go for 5,000 nautical miles between fill ups at 16 knots.

**

Continuing up the scale, the biggest CRN superyacht to date is the 80 meter Chopi Chopi. http://www.superyachts.com/motor-yac...hopi-chopi.htm

She has a 250,000 litre fuel tank, so will cost you £340,000 per fill up, and you are then good for 6,000 nautical miles before you have to fill her up again.

**

As the first yard mentioned was Oceanco, one of their yachts is the 88.5 meter Nirvana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZoaeX-V2ZY

She was glimpse in one of the Monaco yacht show videos, and is for sale, [and has been for a while], at 230 million Euros.

She has trans pacific range, and has a 285,000 litre fuel tank, so will cost you £387,600 per fill up, then she can go 6,800 nautical miles between fill ups at 14 knots.

I have read a few billionaires are bidding against one another to buy her, God knows why. I wouldn't be among them if I really was a mega billionaire, as personally speaking, I just don't care for some of her interior, WAY to much green in parts for me, and her interior central layout just isn't my taste. Her hull design is ok, but that piddling little hot tub and circular recessed lounges next to it at the front would just have to go, and that interior would in parts have to go via a full refit and redecoration.

No idea how big the tank is on Eclipse, but Abramovich has to pay $650,000 US or a little over £406,021 per fill up.

Vana 2 has a 523,000 litre fuel tank so it’ll cost you £711,280 per fill up.

To finish off fuel costs, Azzam is the current biggest megayacht https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9dJMp3dwwE . She has a 1 million litre fuel tank, so it'll cost not a Saudi prince but Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nayan, President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu Dhabi who I’ve recently found out is her owner £1,360,000 per fill up, but then he probably has his own personnel oil well. …
