While walking by the seaside in Yokohama, I stumbled upon a ship with a very unique appearance, After consulting a friend familiar with ships, it turned out to be a super luxury Megayacht “A”, a work by French designer Philippe Starck.

The ship is named "A", and the "BIKINI" below indicates its home port is Bikini, flying the Marshall Islands flag. The owner is reportedly Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, a major shareholder of a Siberian coal and energy company, and a coal and fertilizer magnate, ranked 56th in the 2013 Forbes global rich list. The estimated cost of the entire ship is 300 million USD. I checked Chinese media online and found this article's description is quite good, for reference only: Russian tycoon spends $400 million to build private yacht that looks like a warship and a submarine

The next day, I went to Haneda to take photos of airplanes, and had the pleasure of meeting several aviation enthusiasts who came specifically from Beijing for this.

Interestingly, at Haneda Terminal 2, I spotted Andrey Melnichenko’s private jet, a Boeing 737 BBJ, registration M-YBBJ. After all, I had just seen the “A” logo the day before, so I recognized it immediately. According to the website, this aircraft also costs about 100 million USD.

It was high noon with harsh top lighting, so the photo quality is mediocre, and I won’t post large versions.

The lives of the wealthy are truly blissful, requiring a配套 suite of services from a private yacht and plane worth hundreds of millions of USD just for a leisure trip. For ordinary people like us, it is simply impossible to comprehend this lifestyle beyond envy.
