Mega Yacht Lady Moura 344 feet…
- Lady Moura, a private mega yacht owned by a multi-millionaire businessman from Saudi Arabia, Nasser Al-Rashid, is one of the largest yachts in the world. With 344 feet (104.9 meters) in length, Lady Moura is massive, elegant and a sure shot head turner. Supposed to be known as a super luxurious vessel, Lady Moura can be easily recognized from her name and escutcheon carved in 24 carat gold. Since the start, Lady Moura has been owned by Nasser Al-Rashid, the founder of Rashid Engineering, who is also supposed to be an influential advisor to the Saudi royal family. Mega Yacht Lady Moura has been designed by Blohm & Voss and was launched in the year 1990. The spectacular design has been made in conjunction with the Italian designer and architect Luigi Sturchio. Both, the broad hull and massive superstructure of the yacht are made of steel. However, like most other Arab Yachts, Lady Moura also has less open deck space to provide for a more spacious interior. Very less information is available of the lavish and extravagant interiors of the yacht due to security reasons. However, some of the salient features of the yacht include Mangusta 80, a beautiful boat for recreational activities, a 48 foot San Juan Sail Boat and a Sikorsky S76B helicopter.

Top 10: Most Expensive Wines
- There’s more to wine than two-dollar Night Train. In the mid-’80s, billionaire Malcolm Forbes paid approximately $155,000 at auction for a bottle of wine. The bottle, which was believed to have come from Thomas Jefferson’s own collection and dated back to 1787, was then put on display under strong lights and at the wrong angle. These conditions eventually made the cork fall into the bottle, and the wine lost its value and was thrown away. Yes, it’s true that you don’t have to pay a fortune for a bottle of wine, but keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. If you really want to impress that special lady, show her your cellar of fine wines -- or at least display your knowledge of them. Read on to discover the ten most expensive wines available on the market. Note that all prices are in US dollars and were evaluated on the basis of a 750 ml bottle from a retailer. Number 1: Dom. Romane Conti 1997 - app. $1,540…… This French red Burgundy smells of berries, spices and leather. Dark in color, it hints at flavors of soy sauce, flowers and licorice.

At over fifteen hundred dollars a bottle, it no longer has anything to prove. Consistently, the Romane Conti fetches prices around the thousand dollar mark no matter the vintage.
