Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich has given his oldest friend a sea-sational gift — a 75 million($138,000,000) pounds’ yacht.
Abramovich, 39, handed over floating palace Le Grand Bleu (Big Blue) to his business lieutenant Eugene Shvidler to thank him for his hard work, The Sun reports.
Shvidler, 41, is also a billionaire and already has a luxury yacht. But his 355 ft present is 178 ft longer and worth 47million pounds more.
The yacht is from Abramovich’s existing armada. It comes complete with 65-strong crew, diving centre, helicopter, aquarium and speedboat.
It was Shvidler who struck the 140million deal for the Russian tycoon to buy Chelsea. He sits on the club’s board and heads Abramovich’s oil firm Sibneft.
A source on the yacht said: “Roman has known Eugene for at least 20 years and he is one of the few men he trusts. He will never forget the part Eugene played in helping him realize his dream of owning a Premiership club.
”He wanted to show his appreciation and felt presenting him with one of his yachts would do it.“
”Eugene is delighted although he told Roman he didn’t expect such largesse.“
