by


What does a Russian President do when he has a lot of money to splurge? He buys a secondhand superyacht to soften the luxury blow. He picked up a 177 feet explorer-style Sirius superyacht that features a whirlpool bath, an artificial waterfall, and a cinema that can house 12 guests in its six guest rooms and have a crew size 12 members. Sold at $42 million, the superyacht also features a deck Jacuzzi that can house six people, aired out sunbathing areas, a gym, a sheltered lounge area, and an alfresco dining area for 14 guests, and has barbecue functionalities and bar.
