$377 million yacht docks at Marina at Keppel Bay by Reico Wong, my paper|19 March 2012 .Keywords: billionaire, yacht, most expensive, marina at keppel bay One of the world's most expensive private yachts has docked at Marina at Keppel Bay near HarbourFront. The 120m long yacht, which cost US$300 million (S$377 million) to build, is believed to have been here since at least last Friday. The vessel has a striking design and looks like a submarine warship. Keppel Corp, which manages Marina at Keppel Bay , said the yacht is the most costly private vessel to dock at the marina this year. my paper understands that the vessel's owner, Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, is in the country for personal reasons. Little is known about the intensely private billionaire's visit here. Reports say that Mr Melnichenko, 39, made his fortune by starting a chain of currency- exchange booths. He then founded one of Russia 's largest banks, MDM Bank, in 1993 and went on to invest in a variety of coal, che mic al and steel companies to cement his wealth. The yacht is christened with the letter "A", after his wife, Serbian model Aleksandra Nikolic. It is unclear when the yacht would leave Singapore 's waters or what events are expected to be hosted on it. Keppel declined to reveal more details, citing client confidentiality. Designed by Philippe Starck, the vessel's interior is decked with shiny white finishes and crystal tables, reported The Wall Street Journal. Many of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The walls of one room is reportedly covered in white sting-ray hides, while another is covered in hand-stitched calf 's leather. The mega yacht also has three pools, three jet skis in a storeroom that can be converted into a disco, and a 60-inch television screen that retracts into the ceiling. Many visitors at the marina were taking pictures with the vessel as this reporter left the marina at around 8pm yesterday. Full-time national serviceman Hasan Hakim, 22, said of the yacht: "It's by far the classiest vessel (in the marina)."
