Seven Seas Explorer: the most expensive, luxurious cruise ship ever built
It was a big day for cruise fans and royal watchers alike in Monaco as the tiny country's Princess Charlene christened what is billed as the most luxurious ship ever.
Accompanied by her husband and Monaco's reigning monarch, Prince Albert II, the former Olympic swimmer cut a red velvet ribbon to send a primat of Veuve Clicquot champagne crashing against the hull of luxury line Regent's new Seven Seas Explorer.
Costing more than $US450 million ($592 million), Explorer is the most expensive luxury vessel ever built and boasts one of the highest ratios of space-to-passengers in the history of cruising.
Built at a shipyard in Italy, it features some of the largest, most elaborate accommodations at sea, including a two-bedroom complex overlooking the bow of the ship that measures 4443 square feet (413 sq m). That's more than 50 per cent larger than the average American house.
Explorer also has a wide range of upscale eateries including new-for-the-line contemporary French and Asian restaurants, and a newly designed version of Regent's signature steakhouse, Prime 7. A stylish spa operated by Arizona's Canyon Ranch; a two-tiered, 694-seat theatre; and an opulent observation lounge that evokes the 1920s are other notable features.
In a speech during the event, the CEO of Regent's parent company, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Frank Del Rio, said Monaco was the perfect setting for the christening of such a ship.
"This place, famed over decades for glitz and glamour, epic auto races, legendary casinos, a place where dreams come true, where 007 himself orders his martinis shaken not stirred ... can now add the christening of Explorer to her long list of accolades," Del Rio said.
Explorer is Regent's first new ship in more than a decade. It initially will sail in the Mediterranean, offering a range of eight- to 14-night sailings starting at $US6799 ($8954) per person. It will re-position to the Caribbean for the Northern winter.

Mansi Musa:$400 Billion
The richest man to ever walk the face of the Earth was Mansa Musa, or Musa I of Mali. As the reigning emperor of the Mali empire, Musa commanded a fortune worth a jaw-dropping $400 billion. That’s worth more than four times the current richest person in the world, to put things in perspective. Musa was born in 1280 and lived until 1337 as a devout Muslim, constructing numerous educational centers and mosques across Africa, one of which can be seen above, in Timbuktu. Being as that Musa’s reign was so long ago, there are still varying reports about his death and abdication of the throne to his son. However, no one has been able to come even close to the amount of wealth Musa presided over.

Trek Butterfly Madone – $500,000
Trek Butterfly Madone which costs around a whopping $500,000!
You can definitely buy a good sports car with that price tag.
This bicycle is an artwork by Damien Hirst and it was bought at an auction for that price.
Although it’s beautiful, some animal rights activists called it barbaric due to the fact that the bike utilized real natural wings from butterflies.
This Butterfly Madone was sold at an auction to raise funds for the Lance Armstong Foundation.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi: $450 million
Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud bought the Salvator Mundi (Savior of the World) at a Christie’s auction, shocking everyone with his final bid of $450 million. As Vanity Fair explains, “The last known da Vinci painting in private hands” first sold for $60 in 1958. Now, it had a home after the prince won the bidding war by telephone.
Due for a September 2018 premiere at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Salvator Mundi has reportedly been missing since around that time. The exhibit was postponed, and Prince Bader doesn’t seem too concerned.

Jay Z and Beyonce:$1.4 Billion USD
Jay Z:$1 Billion USD
Beyonce:$400 Million USD
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are one of Hollywood’s most infamous power couples. The musically inclined couple are on top of the world. That’s not all. They’ve both branched out from being more than just singers. Their empire is vast and ever-growing and their wealth reflects their smart business moves.
Jay-Z has been in the rapping game since 1989 when he appeared on Yo! MTV Raps. Beyoncé has been in the public eye as a dedicated musician since she took the spot of lead vocalist in Destiny’s Child back in 1997. The R&B group turned heads, but eventually, Knowles moved on to a solo career.
The wealthy duo tied the knot in 2008 and with it, their finances began to intermingle. With them both sitting on their own nest egg, they’ve created a massive fortune, one that will ensure their children will have an excellent life ahead.
They’ve broken $1 billion, coming in at around $1.4 billion thanks to all of their hard work, dedicated fans, and overall resounding success.
Before putting her net worth out there let’s take a quick look at her career. When she was just a young girl she recognized her talent, appearing in talent shows where her singing shined. Then, in 1996 Beyoncé alongside Kelly, and LaTavia formed their own girl group. They were signed by Columbia Records a year later.
After landing three Grammy awards, several insane collabs, millions of sales, and topping the charts, Destiny’s Child decided to take a hiatus. It was 2003 when Beyoncé chose to embrace the idea of a solo career with the release of Dangerously in Love. Despite it being her first, the album sold an impressive 300,000 copies in its first week and climbed the charts. It was obvious the Bee had precisely what it took to take on the music industry.

On a recent trip to the Maldives, my entire trip was planned around one single hotel amenity: an overwater bungalow with a built-in, two-story waterslide. (Never mind the bedroom's retractable roof and the floating catamaran nets by the private pool.)
Here more than anywhere else on Earth, it's extravagant design features-rather than a convenient location or knockout restaurant that makes it hotel
Enter Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, which is shaking up the formula of Maldivian luxury with the region's first-ever underwater bungalow. (You read that right.)
When it opens late this year, the Muraka, which translates to "coral" in the local language, Dhiveli, will have cost $15 million to build-but the experience of sleeping 16.4 feet below sea level can be all yours for a cool A$65,000 per night, before taxes.
