Russian dictator Vladimir Putin possesses a stunning collection of luxurious yachts. These vessels boast amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, beach clubs, and opulent interiors adorned with gold, ensuring an unmistakable air of wealth. The most expensive yacht in this collection, "Scheherazade," is estimated to be worth 500 million pounds, reports The Sun.
What Putin's yachts look like
Vladimir Putin has recently added two more vessels to his yacht collection, bringing the total to ten. The dictator acquired a 68-meter vessel named "Victoria."
The cost of this yacht is 40 million pounds. Inside, there is a spacious round bed with a mirrored ceiling, along with glamorous wooden floors and high circular ceilings. While the yacht has the capacity to carry 28 people, it typically operates with only six passengers and a crew of up to 15. Notably, this particular yacht is favored by Alina Kabaeva, Putin's 40-year-old lover.
It's worth noting that media estimates place Putin's fortune at around 160 billion pounds.
"Scheherazade"
The crown jewel of Putin's yacht collection is the Scheherazade, valued at £500 million, with some insiders speculating its worth at £750 million.
This six-deck marvel features swimming pools that can be converted into dance floors, a spa, a theater, a gym, and not one but two helipads. The opulence extends to the smallest details, with nearly every inch of the yacht adorned in gold, including the toilet paper holders.

"Kosatka"
The £100 million "Kosatka" (Killer Whale) yacht underwent a significant refit last summer following the seizure of another of Putin's ships by investigators in Italy.
Boasting gilded living rooms, crystal chandeliers, plush carpets, and priceless works of art, the "Kosatka" epitomizes luxury. Even the carpet in the master bedroom carries a hefty price tag of nearly £40,000.
This yacht also features a unique dance floor that can be lowered and transformed into a swimming pool — a design reminiscent of the opulent "Scheherazade".

The 50-meter "Olympia" holds a special place in the heart of the Russian dictator. Valued between 27-40 million pounds, this yacht was a gift from Roman Abramovich, with its interior designed by the renowned Mark Hampton design house.
