Billionaires Love Their Toys

The King of Good Times

Flashy liquor baron (and head honcho of Kingfisher Airline) Vijay Mallya bought himself a Qatari royal's 95-metre boat, the Indian Empress, for Rs450 crore. This floating palace holds original paintings by Renoir and Chagall. There are also massage and sauna rooms and for an extra treat, there¡¯s a piano that belonged to Elton John. Even supermodel Heidi Klum and her husband Seal couldn't resist the luxuries of the Indian Empress; they vacationed on the boat along with their six children recently.

High-flying Billionaire

India¡¯s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, owns a Boeing Business Jet 2, which is essentially a mix between a (flying) hotel and a boardroom. Now that has a high swank factor. The 1,004 sq ft plane has a full-fledged executive office and a private suite. And since Ambani uses the Boeing for himself, he¡¯s gone and bought wife Neeta a $60 million Airbus plane for her birthday. Boys, are you listening?

Fully Loaded

Billionaire real estate mogul Sunny Dewan (MD of HDIL) is more than happy with his Rs527 million toy, a 90-foot Ferretti 881 yacht! But what makes the yatch extra special for Dewan is the fact that it comes loaded with technology that helps fight sea sickness! The boat can be seen parked off Gateway of India from time to time.
