Roman Abramovich takes control of his $785 million yacht Even though the final price tag was lower than the $1.2 billion Russian businessman Roman Abramovich was rumored to have spent on the yacht, the Eclipse is still an incredibly pricey machine. The Eclipse, which is also the world's largest yacht, was delivered to Abramovich in December 2010. His contract with German yacht builders Blohm + Voss specified he would pay only $485 million for the boat, meaning the firm was stuck with the $300 million deficit.
