Roman Abramovich's yacht Eclipse and his football club Chelsea

Eclipse is a luxury motor yacht constructed in Germany. The yacht was delivered to the Russian businessman on 9th of December, 2010. Roman Abramovich is a Russian billionaire and the owner of Chelsea football club. His yacht is 163.5 metres long requiring a minimum of 70 crewmembers to run. Abramovich and his guests will be protected by a security system that uses laser bursts to foil digital paparazzi photography when activated, anti-bugging and anti-intruder systems, bulletproof glass and a missile detection system. Abramovich will also enjoy a swimming pool that can be drainer and used as a dance floor. The yacht holds two helicopters, three boats and a submarine. This Eclipse costs approximately 936 million euros. As said before, Eclipse has two helicopter pads but also 24 guest cabins, two swimming pools, several hot tubs and a disco hall. The submarine is capable of submerging to 50 metres. Eclipse is also the largest vessel employing a novel rotor based stabilization system against roll motion at anchor and at low cruise speeds. Abramovich's private fleet consists of five motor yachts: Eclipse, Sussurro, Titan, Umbra and Luna. He gave his former yacht Le Grand Bleu to his associate and friend Eugene Shvidler in 2006. He sold his former yacht Ecstasea in 2009 to an unknown Egyptian. He was forced to give another former yacht to his ex-wife in 2009 as a part of their divorce settlement.

Speaking of Roman Abramovich, he also owns a major football club called Chelsea FC. Chelsea Football Club is an English soccer club based in Fulham, London. Founded in 1905, they play in the English Premier and have spent most of their history in the top tier of English football. Their home is the 41,837-seat Stamford Bridge stadium, where they have played since their establishment.
Chelsea had their first major success in 1955, when they won the league championship, and won various cup competitions during the 1960s, 1970s, 1990s and 2000s. The club has enjoyed its greatest period of success in the past two decades, winning 15 recent major trophies since 1997. Domestically, Chelsea have won four league titles, seven FA Cups, four League Cups and four FA Community Shields, while in continental competitions they have won two UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one UEFA Europe League and one UEFA Champions League. Chelsea are the only London club to win the UEFA Champions League, one of four clubs, and the only British club, to have won all three main UEFA club competitions, and also the first club to hold two major European titles simultaneously.
Chelsea's regular kit colours are royal blue shirts and shorts with white socks. The club's crest has been changed several times in attempts to re-brand the club and modernise its image. The current crest, featuring a ceremonial lion rampant regardant holding a staff, is a modification of the one introduced in the early 1950s. The club has sustained the fifth highest average all-time attendance in English football. Their average home gate for the 2012-2013 season was 41,462, the sixth highest in the Premier League. Since July 2003, Chelsea have been owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. In April 2013 it was ranked by Forbes Magazine as the seventh most valuable football club in the world, at £588 million ($901 million), an increase of 18% from the previous year.
