THE 7 LEVELS OF SUPER-YACHTS EXPLAINED IN 8 MINUTES

Every tier of every luxury, explained. Two boats sit in the same #monaco harbor. One cost 5 million dollars. The other cost 600 million. From the #dock they are both white, both gleaming, both clearly expensive. But one is a weekend toy a wealthy man drives himself, and the other carries a crew of 70, a mini-submarine, two helicopter pads, and reportedly bulletproof glass. And almost nobody walking past on the quay knows how to tell them apart. So today I am breaking down the seven levels of superyachts, from the entry-level boat that a merely rich person can own, all the way up to the largest private vessel ever built. And there is one number you need to hold in your head the entire way up, because it is the number the brokers bury in the fine print: a #superyacht costs roughly 10 percent of its purchase price, every single year, just to keep it floating. Keep that in mind. Let us get into it From entry-level to billionaire-tier Luxury Levels Unfolding breaks down the seven levels of every luxury object, experience, and lifestyle you've ever wondered about. Mansions. Penthouses. Watches. Helicopters. Private islands. Hypercars. Hotels. We explain what separates each level from the one above it, what each tier actually costs, and who lives there.
