Minecraft Creator

Markus Persson’s

new home

While you were indulging yourself with egg nog and avoiding the inlaws last Christmas, Minecraft creator Markus Persson treated himself to ultimate holiday gift

L

ast Christmas Markus Persson, Minecraft creator enjoyed the pinnacle of luxury. He purchased the ultimate Christmas gift, a Beverly Hills mansion with a price tag of $70 million. Not only did Persson pay in cash, he emerged as the top bidder for this dream house listing; beating out the likes of Jay-Z and Beyonce. While the pictures can’t possibly do it justice, here is a small glimpse into the luxury of a $70 million mansion in Beverly Hills.

Located in the iconic 90210 area code, the 23,000 square feet of pure luxury included all the furniture, electronic used during the realtor’s staging including a rare Bugatti. The living room features a 54 foot curved glass wall that opens to reveal a gorgeous infinity pool and stunning panoramic views of Los Angeles. The home’s electronic system has the ability to control all the outdoor fountains with just a couple of swipes on built-in iPads.

When Persson decides to entertain guests, the house boasts fully stocked vodka and tequila bars and even cases of Dom Perignon. If alcohol isn’t their flavor of choice, Persson’s guests may enjoy perusing the massive selection of sweets located in the house’s $200,000 candy room. The screening room which easily rivals Cinetopia’s living room style theaters, welcomes eighteen movie go-ers.

An eighteen foot onyx dining room table is outfitted with twenty-four Roberto Cavalli place settings (valued at $3,700 each). Three 90-inch HDTVs are featured in a downstairs lounge that displays panoramic views of L.A. Each of the fifteen bathrooms feature top-of-the-line Toto Neorest toilets valued at an astounding $5,600 apiece. The mansion’s amenities include a full workout gym facility, pool and foosball tables and a vehicle showroom. Persson enjoys showcasing artwork; a highlights is the replica of James Dean’s

motorcycle sitting under a striking James Dean print.

The mansion features eight bedrooms.

The master suite is designed with glass shower and a gorgeous standalone granite bathtub which has picturesque views of the city.

Persson wasted little time to start spending some of the $2.5 billion Microsoft paid for the acquisition of Mojang, the studio behind the smash hit Minecraft. After the sale, Persson released a statement saying he didn’t sell the company for the money, but rather to maintain his sanity. To many, spending $70 million seems like high price to pay to preserve one’s mental health, it’s likely Markus Persson’s worries of staying sane are long gone.

The house fully prepared for occasions when Persson entertains; stocked with everything for everyone’s taste.

Expanding The Price Envelope to $500 Million

Uber Luxury Real Estate Hits a New Tier in Los Angeles A house bigger and more luxurious than the Presidential quarters in Washington D.C. is under construction in Bel-Air

T

he Los Angeles Platinum Triangle is set to break an international real estate price record with the most expensive luxury home ever listed - a price tag of $500 million dollars.

Los Angeles film producer and speculative developer Nile Niami, will command a recordsetting price for this home in the hills of Bel Air. The first-of-its-kind mansion is designed to be the most expensive family home in the history of the United States.

The estimated construction (twenty months) of the mansion is expected to break every property development record. A 74,000 square foot main house will be accompanied

by three smaller guest houses, built on a four acre lot. The proportions of this estate rival those of a palace, in terms of price and luxury.

Niami himself said, “This mansion will feature every luxury imaginable.” A highlight worth mentioning is the exquisite 180 foot pool with breathtaking, panoramic views; one of four pools featured at the luxury estate. This mansion will be nearly twice as big as the White House in Washington, D.C. Thus, the future owner will enjoy a greater luxury than the President himself. The master bedroom boasts 5,000 square feet; twice as big as the average affluent American family home.

This home will also feature a 45 seat private movie theatre, a 8,500 square foot exclusive night club and room also for an authentic casino furnished like those in Monte Carlo.

Everything in this home is designed with entertaining in mind. Guests enjoy a place to park their cars in a garage with space for 30 vehicles. A unique feature is a jelly fish room with all four walls covered in fish tanks.

Renowned L.A. architect Paul McClean, admits that property and home size be addictive; clients value mega mansions real estate as a sort of a trophy.

McClean designed this home in excess of 100,000 square feet. This mansion was built with the objective to dwarf all the existing homes in the area and in the entire United States; a culmination of the current ‘mega

The house will feature a private movie theatre with 45 seats and a 8,500 square foot private night club. There will be room for an authentic casino furnished like those in Monte Carlo. spectacular era’. The mansion’s colossal proportions would have you sooner say this is a private luxury resort rather than a private home. Amenities include a tennis court, bowling alley, spa and gym and indoor pool. An elevator leads to a 3,000 square foot roof with a panoramic view of Beverly Hills, downtown

Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. Everything in this gigantic mansion is designed to break records of the established luxury limits. This $500 million estate sets it apart from the 20,000 square foot/$100 million dollar mansions, which suddenly, are no longer such a big deal. With a $500 million dollar price tag, this home is ideal for the one per cent of jet set billionaires that enjoy collecting private islands, mansions and luxury yachts.

This mansion sets the highest price for a real estate property; a trophy for the uber rich buyers. This after all, was Nile Niami’s goal.

Starck B KONG

Philippe Starck is one of the most famous artists and designers of the late 20th and 21st centuries. orn in Paris, on January 18th, 1949, Starck began showing interest in design at a very early age. He was inspired by the work of his father, an aeronautical engineer. Philippe Starck is perhaps the most famous interior designer of our time. He espoused the ‘new design’ style. Each creation provides uniqueness to the space in which it is located.

Starck studied at the École Nissim de Camondo in Paris from 1965 to 1967 and immediately thereafter he became the director of his company in cooperation with Pierre Cardin.

Since then, he has been planning designing

various items, houses, interiors, furniture and toothbrushes. Starck’s exceptional talent, turns the subjects of his design into a place full of charm, pleasure and comfort. In 1975, he made a reputation for himself by designing interiors and products. The turning point that launched him into the designers’ elite occurred in 1970s when Starck got the chance to decorate two nightclubs in Paris, La Main Bleue and Les Bains Douches. The clubs became extremely popular in a short time and led to a string of jobs. Starck first gained international attention when he was commissioned to refurbish the private apartments for French President François Mitterrand.

A year later he designed the restaurant interiors for the famous Cafe de Costes in Paris.

Philippe Starck believes that without vision, human society or loving, a project has no right to exist. In, 1989 Philippe Starck started devising buildings in Japan, each one in an entirely different style. Like a true euphoric, he treats every new space as a theatre where a play and story unravels, creating a new form of drama.

The Teatron restaurant in Mexico (1985) and the Teatriz in Madrid (1988), installed in an old theatre, are true examples of this phenomenon.

Starck draws inspiration from real life and landscape; therefore each of his designer products is a kind of synthesis of nature and technology.

1988 was a turning point for the hotel world, when status of hotels of the world changed.

Hotels were are no longer impersonal venues, but comfortable spaces bursting with comfort, humor and irony.

YOO

After a great reception of his hotel Morgans in 1984, Ian Schrager, impresario and co-owner of the legendary Studio 54, commissioned Starck to design the Royalton Hotel in New York in 1988 and the Paramount in 1990. This triggered the large-scale changes, not only in terms of philosophy of hotel design, but also in terms of rhetoric of cultural theories on tourism. Starck designed the hotel Delano in Miami Beach in 1995, Mondrian in Los Angeles in 1996, St. Martin’s Lane in 1999, Sanderson in London in 2000, Clift in San Francisco in 2001, Jia in Hong Kong in 2004 and New York’s Hudson in 2005.

Philippe Starck’s doctrine is that every object, every shape, every style must have a meaning; and it is this meaning that influences us every day. He believes that sincere, modern elegance comes from the multiplication of an object as opposed to the ideology of limited editions; where premeditation on rarity leads to selection through money rather than necessity. Starck successfully dedicates his life to the fight to impose a design concept that goes beyond the elitism.

His work changes our everyday lives. He desires to make our life easier and more beautiful. He is always consistent in the idea that his design models must respect the nature and future of mankind. Starck seems to understand, better than anyone else, our dreams, wishes and needs and well as our responsibility towards the future.

LOUIS GHOST

“Honest, bursting with relentless enthusiasm.”

Starck considers it is his duty to share with us the subversive vision of a better world, his own world and yet a world which fits up like a glove.

He stays relentless in changing the reality of our everyday lives by sublimating our roots and the deepest wellspring of our being into his changes.

The work of Starck is part of permanent a collection of numerous museums around the world, from Paris, Marseille, Rome, Munich, Düsseldorf, Tokyo, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. He is best known to the general public for designing chairs for Kartell and Vitra. His products stand out in the crowd because they have a character. To Starck a chair is never only a chair, a lamp is never only a lamp. He sees all these items as human beings by giving each of them an unusual and distinct name, such as The Dr. Yes chair and the Rosy Angels lamp.

Starck is familiar with technology, designing for various companies, televisions, remote controls.

Recently, he was hired by Bill Gates to design an attractive optical mouse.

At the furniture fair Maison & Object in 2010 Paris, he won the award for best designer.

KONG restaurant, PARIS Design restaurant Kong is situated on the top two floors of Kenzo’s com-

JAHTA / YACHT “A”

mercial building, with glass roof that offers a gorgeous view of the city. The restaurant is described as ‘a collision of modern and ancient Japan’. The interior offers the famous Starck’s chairs LOUIS GHOST with Asian faces screen printed on the backs, also known as the “KONG CHAIRS”. The restaurant is characterized by unusual, animated design that is truly quite unique and original. Kong restaurant is definitely a must see because it represents both a visual and culinary delight for all your senses.

YOO projects, result of a partnership between Philippe Starck and John Hitchcock. YOO is a vision of life; the result of a partnership between Philippe Starck and property entrepreneur John HItchcox. Since 1999, YOO has worked with international developers, designing landmark residential and tourist projects throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, North and South America and the Middle East.

LOUIS GHOST chairs experiment with new materials (the modern plastics) has created a new era in furniture making. One of the most interesting is certainly the Louis Ghost chair, designed in 2000 by Philippe Starck. The chair is made from polycarbonate and released by the company Kartell. The chair was made in many colors; the most interesting one is the completely transparent chair.

Motor yacht “A“ Philippe Starck designed the motor yacht, 119 m long, for Russian billionaire

Andrey Melnichenko. This yacht was given its individual identity thanks to its revolutionary hull; the only one in the world of such tumblehome design with inverted bow. The yacht is also unique because of 3 swimming pools on the decks, 2 main tenders of 11m, also designed.

The yacht was named “A” after the first initial of Andrey Melnichenko’s wife, Serbian model Aleksandra Nikolić. This elegant vessel provides an unsurpassed sense of style, comfort, luxury and efficiency. Up to 14 guests can enjoy its luxury, with 37 crew members looking after them.

SLS Hotel, Los Angeles SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills is the first true luxury hotel that Starck designed in North America. He single-handedly redefined every aspect of the hotel experience in the 1990’s and spurred the “boutique hotel” movement by introducing the unique dual guest lobby concept. After the SLS at Beverly Hills, Starck has been contracted to design all SLS properties over the next 15 years in North

SLS HOTEL

America. Starck’s ingenious innovations for SLS promise to surprise, soothe, excite and enchant, while representing an important evolution for the celebrated designer.

The first thing that may cross your mind when you think of hotel design are the Starck hotels. What makes them special is not a unique design in Bauhaus-like comprehension meaning, determined by a certain set of rules, but rather a string of ‘special effects’ from the base of post-modernist and hypertrophic connotative characters.

Thanks to the playful character of his own spirit or perhaps by slightly relying on forgotten patterns, Starck has found a formula that helps him produce the spaces of great intensity of attraction.

Perhaps the best example of Starck’s philosophy and effort to improve the world is precisely his refusal to work with companies which he considers harmful to the world. Among these are oil and tobacco companies as well as companies dealing with gambling or alcohol. Thanks to such business decisions he has lost a certain amount of money, but as he says, “I don’t need that much money.” The fine balance of the fluency of his work and the seriousness of his philosophy is summarized in the statement he gave to Newsweek, when the journalist asked him what design he was most proud of. “The next one”, Starck replied, “Because I am never fully satisfied with what I’ve done”.

It’s hard to find a common denominator for his style except to listen to Cooper and call it ‘emotional’, not Minimalism, Art Deco, Baroque, Post-modern, it is in fact nothing. It is stochastic. That’s freedom. As Schrager says, it is a hotel theater, in the business of entertainment. You see all these incredible pieces that attract your attention, causing excitement, and you do not know why “.

Winnie Lui’s studies of jewelry design is quite obvious in this chandelier.

The inspiration is was born from the design of a string of pearls. A special type of construction features the balls appearing to be held together by magnetic force. The greatest charm of this luxurious chandelier is the endless self-reflections of the mirroring surface of the chandelier.

02 This immensely enjoyable and unusual Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen’s armchair is entirely made of polyurethane foam. We suggest you make room for two chairs to welcome your guests as they will surely fight over who will sit on it.

The armchair borrows similarity to the famous baggy seats (aka bean-bag) in structure and design. However, this armchair boasts unprecedented firmness and comfort.

The idea for the Blow Chair evolved from a desire to improve and industrialize the expensive process of upholstery of furniture.

The designers developed the production process so that the mold is covered with a cloth and the foam is injected directly into the fabric.

This technology is used in the production of seats for cars; creating strength without sacrificing comfort.

This Hee Welling and Hay’s lounge chair created following the idea ‘About a Chair ‘(AAC). The chair is an effective combination of form, function, comfort, fine details, esthetics.

The result is the creation a chair with several combinations for seats and legs without sacrificing perfection or esthetic impression.

The charm in Stefan Diez’s Rope Trick floor lamp lies in its adaptability. Not only can you change the slope of the shade, it can be adjusted to move up / down and so to direct the light in the desired direction. Cast light on a book you are reading or on a picture on the wall.

It took a long process for the designer to think of the solution to omit the complicated mechanisms and joints. The result was an intuitive one; a lamp that can be easily manipulated.

05 Oskar Zieta is famously known for its ‘Plop’ chairs. They are welded together around the edges and inflated under high pressure. This process produces unique pieces of furniture that are considered small sculptures. In the era of global environmental problems, Zieta believes it is important to produce durable furniture with a lifetime warranty.

Jarrod Lis’ casual lounge chair is also available as a rocking chair in synthetic fabric or leather. It’s elegant, triangular form deliberately evokes the spirit of the mid-20th century by modestly hiding a number of technical improvements.

This funky Leif Jorgensen’s chair can be used alone or connected in sofa, as a sofa or a four-seat lounging experience.

The Petersen Automotive Museum

“Business is like a car. It must always be in operation in order to be profitable“, said Bertie Charles Forbes, Scottish journalist, writer and father of the business magazine Forbes.

But Robert E. Petersen, founder of Petersen Automotive Museum, would strongly disagree with him. The Peterson Museum is dedicated to the history of the automobile in Los Angeles. Even though the exhibits are not moving, the museum has been an L.A. mixture for two decades. Now, the Peterson Museum roars into the future.

L

ast year, the Museum hosted a luxurious 20th anniversary in a brand new outfit. This fall, the international architectural company Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), headquartered in New York, proudly presented its redesign of the Petersen Museum. The exciting venture will completely transform the exterior of the building and a dynamic redesign of the interior; transforming the museum into a worldclass institution showcasing the art, culture and heritage of the automobile. Americans; especially residents of Southern California, share a deep passion for the car. Los Angeles is the epitome of a city where the car has influenced modernist architecture and culture of the mid-20th century.

Due to the rapidly increasing number of car owners, cities like Los Angeles did rely on the vibrancy of the downtown area, so, commerce and entertainment expanded to residential areas. Culturally, the car to Americans and Angelenos become a passion. Since1994, the Petersen Automotive Museum, has celebrated the passion of the automobile at the corner of Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard; at the JAHTA / YACHT “A”

end of the famed. ‘Miracle Mile’. The area the ‘Miracle Mile’ was developed in 1936 by a contractor A.W. Ross. In the era before shopping malls, the Miracle Mile represented a fashionable place for luxury shopping. The current building of today’s Petersen Automotive Museum was designed in the early ‘60s by internationally renowned architect, Welton Becket.

The building originally opened in 1962 as Japanese department store Seibu, then later, American department store Ohrbach. In 1986, After being vacant for six years, Robert E. Petersen, decided that the building without windows would not be the right solution for offices, but, because of the protection from the sun, it would be perfect for a museum.

Petersen founded the Petersen Automotive Museum as an educational institution dedicated to the cars and chose the location to house the history of the automobile.

The design, previewed last year, will transform the building of the Peterson Museum into one of the most important and most impressive buildings in Los Angeles; a building

worthy of showcasing the world’s most impressive car collection. Unlike most other museum reconstruction projects, which require the complete demolition of buildings, the Peterson project features the existing building as a sort of skeleton without the body, then, the removal of the existing concrete portico towards the Wilshire Boulevard and finally, the application of an outer aluminium cloak above the existing façade. All three street sides of the building will create a completely new and innovative look and aura. Red aluminum rain screens are erected at back side and bottoms and new stainless steel ‘ribbons’ will be given the appearance of floating; wrapping around the entire building.

These elements will serving as beams carrying their own weight.

The result is a building that evokes a sense of speed and movement; standing on the existing structure just like the body of a car on the suspension. At night, the colors and shapes will be illuminated from the inside, to accent the steel sculpture, acting as headlights pointing at the Miracle Mile’s ‘Museum Row’. The intention of the new design was to express a sense of constant motion, suggesting speed, aerodynamics and the movement of air. Unlike many neighboring museum at the Museum Row of Miracle Mile, looking like gentlemen in tailcoats, Petersen Museum will look like a ballerina”, noted Eugene Kohn, the founder and president of KPF. One of the main objectives of Petersen Museum is collection, restoration and preservation of historic cars, with a special emphasis on the procurement of specimens of different shape, size, manufacturer, model and purpose. As the popularity of the Museum as a non-profit

The new design will transform the Peterson Museum into one of the most important and most iconic buildings in Los Angeles. organization has grown, the growing number of collectors started realizing that this is a perfect (non-taxable) home for their valuable collections. The first in a series of donated cars was Mercedes-Benz 300 from the 1952, which came from a collector in Annapolis, Maryland. This was followed by the donations

design

from all over the world; from individual cars to large collections and rare car parts, works of art related to the cars, photographs, books and other automotive memorabilia. Thanks to such valuable holdings, Petersen and his

experts can host exhibitions that can not be equaled anywhere in the world. During the Jubilee period and for the presentation of its new facade and interior design (expected completion-early 2015), the Peterson Museum announced thematic exhibitions of cars to be exhibited in a comprehensive, creative way and with historical context. The Petersen Museum represents an exceptionally rich concentration of the most compelling cars in the world.

The museum has been housed in a converted department store. Although the structure of the building was suitable for display of cars, the expression of the structure lacked imagination. “Our goal was to find a way to inject life into the building, with minimal intervention that would produce the maximum effect.

Therefore our redesign offers an abstract veil of flowing ribbons, meant to invoke not only the spirit of the car, but also the spirit of Los Angeles architectural culture”, concluded the KPF ‘s design principal Trent Tesch.

Streetscape and rotating exhibition The Petersen Museum is much more than just a huge space filled with cars parked in rows, as in a garage, like in many other museums of this type in the world.

In fact, the Museum has two special features - “Streetscape diorama”, used for placing the exhibited cars in the context of a street with all the architectural and cultural elements from the time of appearance of a particular car, and a constant change of exhibits. The first special features give a true meaning to the cars and an exciting experience to the visitor, while the other feature gives the Museum constant freshness, relevance, attracting at the same time the visitors to come again and again. Yet at the time of opening of the Museum, it was decided that on the total area of nearly 28.000 square meters there shall be no exhibition of the entire collection (counting today over 300 cars), but by using a system of constant rotation. In addition, depending on the current exhibition theme, the exhibits can vary from 100% Petersen’s cars to 90 % of cars borrowed for a specific exhibition.

THE BILLION DOLLAR YACHT

Sheik Kalifa bin Zajed Al Nahian from UAE, owner of the record-setting “Azzam”, can sleep peacefully until there is convincing evidence that someone is really ready to spend a billion dollars on a yacht. It is not easy to think of a story from the nautical world that gained so much attention as the announcement that a super/mega/giga yacht, for now only known under the name “Triple Deuce”, will be built. The name is pretty symbolical, if it stays, because the biggest yacht in the world is planned to be 222 meters long. That’s 40 meters more than the current record holder “Azzam”.

TRIPLE DEUCE

It’s not just the size, “Triple Deuce” is also supposed to be the most expensive yacht ever and the first one to break the line of incredible one billion dollars. What is this marvel that is so expensive? And who has the billion dollars to burn them on a yacht, however big it is?

The questions remain unanswered, even though the first news on “Triple Deuce” emerged in October last year. Now there are talks about this being the nautical lie of the century, rather than the nautical news of the decade. In the era when even top secret government secrets can’t be kept from public, nothing new has been revealed. Where will it be built? What will it look

yachts

like? Who is the secret billionaire who will enjoy the yacht that doesn’t fit any category? There are so many unknowns that some media began guessing that the news might not be true.

Here’s what we know. “Triple Deuce” will be for only 36 people to enjoy, even though it has dimensions more fitting for a cruiser than a yacht. But the crew will number some one hundred people. It is supposed to be run by three gas turbines that produce over 100,000 horsepower and enable speed of over 30 knots.

Accommodations will be set on two decks.

There is the 275 square meters owner’s apartment which takes up an entire deck. It has two rooms, private helipad access, hangar for smaller boats, elevator, gym, office, dining room and butler’s room.The guests will enjoy four VIP apartments and 12 guest apartments, of 90 and 60 square meters respectively. They will have access to both the outdoor and indoor pool, Jacuzzis, spa centre with a masseuse, hair dresser, barber,

Azzam

(180 m)

Six out of ten biggest yachts in the world were built in German Lürssen. The giant ‘Azzam’ took over the lead from ‘Eclipse’ in 2013, and for full 16.5 meters. Not much is known about this goliath apart from basic technical specifications and information that the interior was done in French imperial.

It was built for Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, an Abu Dhabi emir and the president of the United Arab Emirates. All the engineering jobs were done by a man of emir’s trust, Mubarak Saad al Ahbabi. The most important technical innovation brought by ‘Azzam’ was the staggering speed for such a boat. The innovative propulsion system pushes it to 32 knots. Some thought was also given into the safety of the passengers so the owner suite contains bullet proof walls, rocket system and a submarine. It is hard to believe emirs do that, but ‘Azzam’ is officially registered as a boat for rent to avoid European tax regulative. Maybe that is how people become emirs and oligarchs.

After five years of intense work, in December 2010, the shipyard “Blohm+ Voss” in Hamburg produced a biggest to date yacht in the world, the ‘Eclipse’ and handed to its owner, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovič.

Designed in London studio ”Terence Disdale Design“, the ‘Eclipse’ is filled with technical innovations, especially on the drive system. The most impressive part of the yacht is the 56.meter long owner’s deck, and Abramovič has an army of 92 staff and crew members at his disposal. The deck also contains 16-meter pool; the largest ever built on a yacht with a bottom that lifts up and transfers into a dancing podium. There are even two helipads and a hangar for yet another helicopter. You can only imagine what else can be found on the boat. In 2011, the ‘Eclipse’ got a Motor yacht of the year award on the World Super Yacht Awards. There is another interesting thing concerning the ‘Eclipse’; a year after the transfer, the boat was advertised as a renting boat through the company SuperYachtsMonaco.

Motor Boat & Yacht Magazine announced last year that Abramovič’s biggest toy is not for rent, but the Russian tycoon did that to avoid paying part of the property tax, which is not paid for charter yachts.

Dubai

(160 m)

This large yacht was originally supposed to be built for the prince Jefri of Brunei, designed by Andrew Winch. But the project was terminated in 1998, with only a hull finished. It was then sold to the Dubai government. They gave the redesign to Kostis Antonopulos from Platinum Yachts. “Dubai” was finished in 2006 and is today a royal yacht of sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.

Despite its size, it is designed to take only 24 passengers, which are accommodated in the owner’s suite, five VIP and six guest suites, all with open balconies.

There is an atrium on the entrance 21 meters wide, also a pool, a grilling area, a movie theatre, disco, a helipad for a Blackhawk, a gym, a submarine hangar and lots of toys for entertainment at sea.

04

Al Said

(155 m)

Another jewel that was very secretive during construction. It was launched in Lürssen in 2008, and immediately delivered to Omani sultan Qaboosbin Said Al Said. Today it sails under Omani flag, and its home port is Omani Muscat. It can reach the speed of 25 knots and supposedly has 150 crew members. It sounds incredible, but there is a concert hall on the boat designed for an orchestra of 50 people to play. There are also entertaining facilities, a helipad, a movie theatre and accommodations for 65 guests. Exterior design was signed by Espen Øino, and interior by Jonathan Quinn Barnett.

and a whole number of water toys. So, who is this being built for?

The story was started by 4Yacht Inc, a Florida nautical company that sells mega yachts to super rich clients. The first news said that a 200 meter yacht had been ordered. But when the 180 million “Azzam” emerged, the investor supposedly got scared that this new record will not last as long as he would hope. Then the yacht (on paper, at least) grew to 220 meters and $1.1-1.2 billion, with additional $20-35 million maintenance per year.

THE DEADLINE , the Fort Lauderdale company said, is Spring 2018. All we know about the shipyard’s location is that it will be “somewhere in Europe”, but there are few that could take on such a task, like Lürssen in Bremen or Blohm+Voss in Hamburg. That’s how they get the price that floats around – the best European shipyards make such yachts at 5 to 6 million per meter.

The experts believe that the 222 meters is very close to the upper limit boats can reach to still be yachts, especially considering the required infrastructure and maintenance costs. The largest yacht that could dock in the Adriatic is 180 meters long, the length of the longest dock in Porto Montenegro in Tivat. A marvel such as “Triple Deuce” needs a real huge port, as if it were a cruise ship, but holding only 30 people, instead of several thousands. The expenses would be sky-high.

05

Topaz

06

(147,25 m)

‘Topaz’ was launched in May 2012, when it left the shipyard Lürssen for a test sail. Not much is known about this yacht although it is the third largest that came out of that German shipyard. Little is known about the owner as well except that he’s a member of the United Arab Emirates elite and that the yacht is flying the flag of the Cayman Islands. The designer of the ship is the easily recognizable Tim Heywood.

Prince Abdulaziz

(147 m)

Completed in 1984 in Denmark, this superyacht serves as the official ship of Saudi King Abdullah, which he inherited from the late King Fahd. At the time of the construction it cost $184 million, which back in 1984, was an unheard of amount of money for such a vessel. The interior was designed by David Hicks, along with one special treat: the main deck has a large lobby decorated like the one that existed on the Titanic. Inside there is a fully equipped hospital, a mosque and a cinema, and it has 65 crew members. According to some rumors, the equipment includes surface-to-air missiles and a system for underwater monitoring. It is expected that the Saudi royal family will soon acquire a new yacht because this one has been in use for thirty years, and underwent three reconstructions in 1987, 1996 and 2005.

But doubts, or at least questions, have occurred. Boat International Magazine has recently started to look into this news since there were no new developments since the said announcement by 4Yachts. There is no information about the choice of a shipyard and when Boat International sent an inquiry to Fort Lauderdale, it turned out that the shipyard has not yet been determined, which is the reason why the deadline has been pushed to the fall 2018.

However, only aroused more suspicion since shipways in the best shipyards are sold out years in advance so it is not very likely that a builder for ‘Triple Deuce’ can be found in only three years and that the ship can be completely finished from the design to final completion in

El Horriya

(145,7 m) ‘El Horriya’ is a true classic. It was originally built in the UK in 1865 for the Turkish governor of Egypt.

At the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, it accommodated the most important dignitaries. Later on it was extended on two occasions for a total of 17.3 meters, and the last major works on it were carried out in 1950.

Unfortunately, today it is more a museum piece then a frequent guest of the seas of the world, although it still remains an official yacht of the Egyptian president, based in Alexandria.

Yas

(141 m)

Unlike most of the great yachts, Yas was launched in a new shipyard in Abu Dhabi in November 2011. The yacht attracted attention already during its construction because it was built on the hull of a war frigate in 1978 in the Netherlands. Of course, it features new machinery and systems with a modern and luxurious design of both its exterior and interior. It is the work of the French Pierrejean Design Studio. It can accommodate 60 passengers and 56 crew members.

tion the most is the simplest of questions: How is it possible that in the age when information spreads like wildfire, no new details about ‘Triple Deuce’ have been released in months?

Why would the future owner so eagerly hide his or her identity while allowing the release of the sensational price that someone will link to him sooner or later?

AS A COMPARISON Boat International has used

Ocean Victory

(140 m)

This yacht was built in 2014 in the Italian shipyard Fincantieri Muggiano.

Espen Oeino designed its exterior while Alberto Pinto and Laura Sessawere responsible for the interior. It has a dock feature for a 14-meter tender, and six swimming pools of up to eight meters in length. Everything else about ‘Ocean Victory’ is a secret, including its owner.

three years. This question 4Yachts has not even addressed. Reporters from Boat international sent very clear questions: When was the order contract signed? Who are the designers? Did the owner allow the release of the astronomic price?

Why did he choose 4Yacht? Just too many questions remain unanswered, even by the standards of nautical industry that is very often enveloped in the veil of mystery. What catches the atten-

the example of a 140 meters long yacht ‘Ocean Victory’ is also covered with a veil of mystery, but it has been released to the public that the contract was signed in 2009 as well as the names of designers, because in nautical world that also comprises an important part of references. On the other side, the value of the yacht has never been made known because that is just not the information anyone would like to brag about.

That brings about legal issues as well.

Expert in this field, John Leonida commented on Boat International’s information about a billion dollars of expenses by saying that that would get the owner in trouble with insurers and tax services.

“The American government would surely be interested in someone who intends to spend a billion dollars on anything.”, said Leonida to Boat International.

And so the biggest nautical story in the last several years, maybe even in the last decade, has turned into one of the most suspicious ones. It is a potential scandal as large as the announced yacht. Occasionally a story appears in the media about how the construction “has almost begun”, and that “Azzam” will soon be dethroned as the world’s largest yacht, but nothing more than that ever happens. So the stories that the rumour has been started in order for the 4Yacht to capitalize on the public’s interest in yachts and other toys of the superrich are ever louder.

And the first results of such a marketing tactic might be the new statement by 4Yachts, this time a bit more convincing. A month or two earlier, a news came from the company that they are beginning with the construction of a 200 meter yacht – i.e. another record breaker – with the preliminary name ‘Double Century’. Either the company has learned its lesson or this time the story is more a sure thing. They have made public that the designer of the boat is eminent Christopher Seymour, and the first computer simulations have been released.

However, it seems that the boat is still far from being built, and even the entire project is far from being sold. Namely, 4Yacht has thrown the interested billionaires new bait in which they can invest their money in order to move the

10 project towards its realization. So far, it seems, nothing like that will happen.

Al Salamah

(139,29 m)

ACCORDING TO WHAT has been published so

far, “Double Century” would have nine decks, reaching 27 meters above sea level. With its 200 meters, it would surpass ‘Azzam’ by 20 m. It would have two helipads, an additional hangar for another helicopter and storage room for all kinds of water toys including a submarine.

Because of the large number of decks, the design would include eight elevators and it would look more like a private yacht than a cruiser. It would have pools, sun decks, salons. The luxury cabins feel more like apartments should be able to host more than 50 guests, a cinema, offices, enormous dressing rooms, bars, dining rooms, piano room and disco. The boat would have 100 crew members and other personnel.

The details of the project sound a bit like a salesman trying to find a buyer for his new product, using the same techniques as a direct kitchenware salesman, stating that the design can be reduced to 185 meters, but also augmented to 225 meters. Whenever the buyer decides to buy it, 4Yachts promise he will receive the yacht in less than four years.

Who could buy it? 4Yachts have a clear vision of their customer’s profile, with a somewhat vague PR description: “Double Century needs someone with a vision, someone who wants to dedicate his life to such an exceptional vessel, to make it his own, and to make his own unique contribution to the luxury yachts industry“.

Interestingly enough, ‘Double Century’ got much less attention than ‘Triple Deuce’ in the nautical magazines, maybe because they are being overly cautious waiting for someone to “get hooked“. Although, it is hard to believe that the future owners of boats like that are found by “if interested, call the number listed below” method.

MAYBE THE BEST EXPLANATION – in relation to the upcoming ‘Double Century’ was provided by the nautical website Ocean of News, in the article entitled, ‘Why the World Largest Yacht is Bullshit’. “We always like good marketing, and I admit they will get a lot of publicity and newspaper articles for announcements like that.

Trouble is that they are not helping the nautical industry at all. The media get the story, and all they talk about is “how much it costs“, in this case 770 million dollars. People hear that and just go nuts. Suddenly, all the yacht owners are said to be filthy rich. (...) They won’t sell the yacht of this size, nor would the person who could

Built in 1999 , in the HDW and Lürssen shipyards in Germany, this yacht was designed in Terence Disdale Design Studio in London. The yacht’s owner is Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, Governor of the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, son of the late King Fahd, and the Saudi defence minister. “Al Salamah” was completely renovated again in 2007 in Lürssen.

afford it accept that kind of publicity. The media should do their homework before succumbing to such marketing scams“.

In a world of mega yachts salesmen,mthe same rules apply as with the local developers of spectacular tourist resorts, bridges, and similar projects reminiscent of Potemkin villages.

In any case, the owner of the record breaking ‘Azzam’, Sheikh Kalifa bin Zajed Al Nahian from United Arab Emirates can rest assured until someone emerges that really wants to spend a billion dollars on a yacht.

The most important technical innovation brought by ‘Azzam’ was the staggering speed for such a boat. The innovative propulsion system pushes it to 32 knots.

or those who think they have seen everything from the world’s automotive industry you are mistaken.

In 2013, enthusiasts witnessed the presentation of an impressive concept car called, Icona Vulcano. It was a special car developed by a team of Chinese investors and manufactured in Italy. This automobile with the style of a dragon has a special charm and look because Italians are the best in the entire world at luxury car craftsmanship. Two years after the presentation at the Motor Show in Shanghai, the Icona Vulcano was introduced at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance event this past August.

Chinese and Italian forces created a vehicle that can be compared with the best supercars of today: LaFerrari, P1 and 918 Spyder. The

Icona Vulcano is quick as fire and fierce like a volcano eruption and at the same time sporty and sophisticated in its breathtaking appearance.

The Icona Vulcano is crafted from a special material, carbotanium. More than ten thousand hours of manual labor went into the making of its titanium body. This is the same material used for the Pagani Huayra. The carbon fibers achieve superior strength and durability while maintaining a low mass. “Inspiration for the Vulcano came from the world’s fastest plane, the SR-71 Blackbird, whose sharp and dramatic silhouette complimenting its sensual surface transitions was key to the styling of the Vulcano.”, revealed the designer of this engine wonder, Samuel Chuffart.

Using a slightly tuned engine from the Corvette ZR1, engineers were able to achieve performances similar to those of the best supercars of today.

The Icona Vulcano achieves 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 352 km/h. Furthermore, to get to the level of hypercars, Icona has promised to connect the Icona engine to an advanced hybrid system and raise its power to about 950 horsepower.

Rafael Nadal

Wealth On Hand

The masterpiece of the famous Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille doesn’t come off Nadal’s hand even when he’s playing tennis

O

One could say that Rafael Nadal has a pretty interesting history when it comes to wrist watches. One valuable watch disappeared from his dressing room and has never been found.

Police managed to catch the thief who succeeded in getting into Nadal’s hotel room and stole another Mille watch. A couple of years ago, the Spanish tennis player lost another watch that was found by his doubles partner Eric Butorac in the locker room. “I remember holding the thing in my hand and thinking that it is worth more than all of my professional career earnings.” Rafael Nadal doesn’t take off his watch at Roland Garros. He sports a special model worth $775,000. The Spaniard is so certain that he would not fall on his favorite clay, that he has no problem playing with watch of such value on his hand.

The model is the Richard Mille RM27-02 (RM 27-02) Tourbillon. The watch features a quartzmade casing. Richard Mille has always had a special relationship with tennis and Rafael Nadal. Sponsorship between watch brands and celebrities is not uncommon, yet Nadal has a special relationship as brand ambassador for Richard Mille since 2010. A number of skeptics were concerned that Nadal would be able to play tennis with a watch worth over $500,000.

RICHARD MILLE

The watch is crafted from lithium alloy; it is the lightest of its kind so it doesn’t bother the talented player during matches or preventing him from winning. At first, the watch bearing the name of the famous athlete was a limited edition, but the most famous modern ultraluxurious watchmaker decided to offer his Rafael Nadal model permanently to the luxurious consumer. The modern Richard Mille RM27 models reveals a shift from the original that is smaller and more colorful. With the Rafael Nadal model, Richard Mille started introducing bigger watches with brighter colors. Is it a coincidence or is he following trends? It is possible that the brand is intentionally blending with worldwide sports-watch trends combining ultra-high prices with a selection of colors and a fun and laid back style.

With an oddly coloured case and bright orange fabric strap, the Richard Mille RM27-02 Rafael Nadal looks more toy than timepiece. It’s purpose is to be fun and fresh; not stuffy and pretentious. Richard Mille watches garner a lot of critique from traditional watch collectors.

Much of the feedback is negative; the perception that Richard Mille isn’t treating mechanical watches seriously enough. That unlike some

Unlike previous models that were smaller and black, Richard Mille introduced bright colourful watches intended for wealthy people who don’t take their luxuries too seriously

more conservative brands, Mille is criticized for neglecting the concept that the watches are too expensive and are not designed like traditional watches. This happens with items that are very expensive and meant for a limited audience; the world’s wealthy elite. Richard Mille is asking $500,000 and up for a luxury that most people can’t afford. Richard Mille’s strategy as a brand isn’t mainstream, but it doesn’t mind mainstream appeal. However, you get a lot of people thinking your product is cool and then vastly price it out of most people’s hands, you might be asking for a little bit of hostility. Richard Mille, however, has a different plan-offer highly exclusive items for a demographic that doesn’t take their luxury stuff too seriously. A chance a masterpiece by the famous Swiss watchmaker Richard Mille - a watch doesn’t come off Rafael Nadal’s hand even when he’s playing tennis.

restaurants

THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD At the beginning of last summer as Sublimotion restaurant was about to open, questions arose in the media about who would be willing to pay €1500 euros for a twenty course meal. Chef Paco Roncero, a student of (the most influential present day chef) Ferrano Adria and his investors had carefully studied the market prior to opening.

As it turns out, it was not difficult at all to fill every night all twelve seats the restaurant has.

It seems that price is not an issue if you have a famous enough chef and an attractive offer.

Roncero has been awarded with two Michelin Stars as chef of the La Terraza del Casino restaurant. His molecular cuisine mixed with theatre and modern technology is more than enough to fill the restaurant in summer ( the only season it is open) when many yachtsmen moor their boats in the trendy Ibiza harbour. The Sublimotion experience begins with the call by a lady dressed as a stewardess that takes you to a room; the walls are completely covered with large video screens giving you the impression that you are entering into a whole another world. Another door then, opens and you enter into a room with a white table in the middle; the names of patrons are projected on the surface of it. Then,

the host asks patrons not to tell anyone about what they are about to experience, because “no one would believe them anyway”. Namely, the first rule of Sublimotion is that you do not talk about Sublimotion (although prior to opening it welcomed a group of food writers, obviously with the intention for them to talk about Sublimotion).

What follows is a kind of a psychedelic experience initiated by video projections on the walls and the table; sometimes the patrons have a feeling that they are flying as miniature gardens grow on their tables or everything around them turns into a night club. Although the entire production is very avant-garde and hitech, it is actually not pretentious but oriented towards entertainment. Then, twenty courses are served; all of which fit perfectly into a unique Sublimotion atmosphere. This is a very tasty game for all senses, which was Roncero’s intention in the first place.

“It is all part of us. We must eat. We must share. We must socialize.” This is Roncero’s philosophy.

But is such an experience worth €1500? When taking into account the funds invested into this entire enterprise then, yes. But, when it comes to the value patrons get for their money, it is about something completely different; and that

restaurants

depends exclusively on how deep their pockets are. In terms of a thousand patrons a year, it is clear that there are enough foodies who can pay this much without second thought. But, in relation to other restaurants it is clear that this is the world’s most expensive restaurant.

In today’s world, where TV-actors are paid millions dollars per episode and corporate CEOs paid hundreds of millions in bonuses, what does ‘expensive’ ? It’s all relative. What about expensive restaurants? It is something that some people can afford, while others can’t?

To quote Anna Kournikova: “I’m like a menu in an expensive restaurant. You can watch but you can’t afford it. “ Enjoying the food in some restaurants with three Michelin Stars is a great pleasure, but it costs a great deal. From Europe to Japan and New York, or lunch in a Swiss castle to an underwater dinner in Maldives, carefully prepared meals and hand-picked wines are served to provide an experience that will be remembered for the rest of guest’s life; or at least until the next visit to the same place.

But, what is the exact location of the most expensive restaurants in the world, combining exclusive locations and most expensive meals and wines? Let’s go for a trip guided by the beauty of the location and interior, rather than the price, which is guaranteed to be high.

For instance, to be able to eat in Schauenstein Castle in Fürstenau, Switzerland, you will have to pay extra to the bill, because of the reconstruction of the 12th century castle costs a fortune. Chef Andreas Caminada takes credit for the fact that the restaurant has managed to keep three Michelin Stars for a fifth year in a row by preparing precise, consistently, creative and aesthetically attractive meals inspired by the local cuisine. Schloss Schauenstein is a permanent

ITHAA UNDERWATER

MICHEL BRAS TOYA

member of top 50 best restaurants of the world according to British The Restaurant Magazine.

Oliver Friedrich, Sommelier of the Year 2013, (according to prestigious Swiss guide Gault Millau) recommends tasting different wines with each course. Three course menu in Schloss Schauenstein costs about $200, six course $250, and eight course $300; drinks not included.

From Switzerland we head for Japan, to Michel Bras Toya in Toya on the island Hokkaido. Chef Michel Bras’ subsidiary is inspired by his restaurant in French province Laguiole. The Japanese subsidiary instead of French picturesque original offers unique and unreal view of volcanic Lake Toya.

Cedric Bourassin, manager and chef, (Bras’ most trustworthy person) has come up with a delicious menu using local produce from Hokkaido and prepared in French style. For a smaller menu you have to pay around $150 and the bigger one costs $230. On average, if you include the drinks, you will spend around $250.

A group of restaurants of Alain Ducasse, (one of world’s most famous chefs and the first who held three restaurants in three towns with three Michelin Stars at the same time) consists of almost thirty restaurants in a dozen countries.

One of the prize restaurants is “Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester”, (that earned his third star in a Great Britain guide in 2010 and with Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant). became one of only two high ranking restaurants in London; of only four in all of Great Britain.

As the name suggests, the restaurant is situated in legendary hotel ‘The Dorchester’, in the luxurious Park Lane in the heart of Mayfair district. To call ‘The Dorchester’ a hotel is like calling a champagne a carbonated beverage or

caviar a paste. Luxury here is here treated as “unrestrained celebration of wealth” and almost telepathic level of service, it is pretty decent background for one of Ducasse’s parade restaurants and enough to overwhelm even the most spoiled.

The menu which is offered by chef Jocelyn Harland, with Ducasse’s supervision, consists of seven courses which don’t lack lavish meals like crayfish in velouté sauce, filets of Atlantic flounder or Iranian sea urchin’s caviar. For that pleasure you have to pay around $200 and ad wine to the list. The guests spend on average about $340.

Switzerland hosts the second of the two restaurants with three Michelin Stars. The restaurant, “Hotel de Ville” in Crissier, near Lausanne and Lake Léman. is run by married couple Benoît and Brigitte Violier. It prides itself with a four decade history, made famous by chef Freddy Girardet. Violieri offers meals like pip consomméa with caviar and grilled beef Salers with wild pepper. The menu in “Hotel de Ville” costs $370, and a guest spends on average about $540.

To experience classy underwater dining, one has to travel to the Maldives, islands in Indian Ocean. The restaurant called “Ithaa Underwater” is located seven meters under the surface next to the island Conrad Rangali. It offers a spectacular view of the marine life of a colourful coral reef. Thanks to the former line of English chefs the cuisine is mainly Anglo-Saxon; a six-course menu with a little champagne. A typical meal is yellow-tailed king fish with caviar risotto, sour cream and blinis. The building of the restaurant $5million; prices are appropriate. The menu will cost a patron $300 plus champagne of choice, which can easily triple the cost of the bill.

For the big spender, one must return to Japan.

For the most demanding eaters, especially meat

lovers, the Tokyo restaurant Aragawa is an inevitable destination. One of the favorites of this local is meat of Tajima cattle, cultivated for exactly 28 months in the Sanda region of the Hyogo Prefecture. Since only these animals meet the required criteria and are entitled to bear the label of “Sanda cattle”, Aragawa restaurant is proud to retire this delicacy. The menu includes many dishes prepared with this meat, but only one main course, Sanda Cattle Steak. If you thought that Tokyo was only famous for sushi, you should know that gourmets from all around the world flock here because of Aragawa steak. This prestigious steak costs $350 and each guest spends here around $570.

Among the legendary French restaurants there are many expensive ones, but the most expensive one is Maison Pic. Its kitchen is presided over

by Anne-Sophie Pic, the way her grandfather and father Andre Jacques did before her. In 2007, Anne-Sophie, a petite and taciturn 45-year-old, became the fourth woman in history to win three Michelin Stars. Her kitchen is elegant and sophisticated; its special attractions are her interpretations of dishes that the restaurant has been serving continuously since the 1930s. For maximum enjoyment of the delicacies, guests should select Menu Essential ($380, but paired with wines it can be double that amount).

Although many top New York restaurants have medium prices compared to their European counterparts, there are those that go to the other extreme. Among them is Masa, located in Time Warner Center on the southwest corner of Central Park. Dinner in this restaurant is one of the most luxurious experiences one can have in New York. For the lovers of sushi, sashimi and Japanese cuisine, Japanese chef Masa Takayama offers a tasting menu, which will cost the guest from $380 to $490 (depending on the day of the week); with wine and all the pertaining taxes, the bills often exceed $900. Devotees do not deem this excessive, especially if they’re sitting in front of chef and he is in top form. For reservations, one must leave a credit card number. Cancellations cost $180 and failure to appear is penalized with the full amount. The wine list is equally expensive, but it is limited only by the depth of the gourmet’s wallet.

In the selection of the most expensive restaurants of the world, Alain Ducasse is the only chef who appears twice. Under the moto “a dish tells the story, the table is a stage”, Ducasse is a master of creating ultra-expensive meals. At the Parisian Restaurant Le Meurice, the luxurious interior is inspired by the Salon de la Paix at Versailles; it features large antique mirrors, crystal chandeliers, bronze, marble and frescoes and stunning

RESTAURANT FOR ONLY TWO

In addition to the restaurants or previously mentioned, there are a number of expensive restaurants throughout the world. Their setting and ambiance might not be as attractive, but they are certainly intended for those who love to splurge. Italian Ristorante Il Teatro in Macau offers the White Alba Truffle Menu for $180 ($240 with wine). Sketch (1) in London, is run by the local restaurateur Mourad Mazouz. He joined forces with the famous French modernist chef Pierre Gagnaire. The restaurant charges $170 for its eight course menu, without the wine of course. Italian Solo Per Due (in Vacone, an hour to the North of Rome), the world’s smallest restaurant which serves only two guests per night in its luxurious dining room, charges $300 per person. Champaign, finer wines and floral arrangements are not included. Gordon Ramsay (3 Michelin Stars) in London offers several menus of which features the Seasonal Inspiration Menu, costs $300.

views of the Tuileries gardens. After admiring the vistas around them, the guests can focus on quail, lobster, venison, truffles from Alba and other delicacies from the menu’s refined repertoire. A short three course menu of your choice, cheese and dessert, costs $460 (excluding drinks, tax and tip).

Chef Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry restaurant, set in picturesque Napa Valley, offer’s an attractive Chef’s Menu of elven courses, at $600 without wine. For only $23 more you can get Keller’s menu at his New York restaurant Per Se. In Kyoto, one can find the Kitcho restaurant of the award-winning chef Kuni Tokuoka. This restaurant offers one of the most impressive gastro experiences in the world. Tokuoka is a firm believer in the theory that every meal has to be a work of art, which represents elegant sights and smells of the complete Japanese culture. A meal costs $570, but, the food is perfect and worth every yen.

After all of this, we can only apply the wisdom of the famous actress Lana Turner, who once said: “A successful man is the one who earns more than his wife can spend, while a successful woman is the one who can find such a man”. The most expensive restaurants play the role of successful women.
