It was probably best that anybody who believed – quite rightly – that they had a cabin cruiser to show off, should have kept their treasure safely tied up, because the richest sheik in Kuwait had parked his 95-million-euro caviar canoe off Cerro Gordo. Leaving Marina de Este in anything less than USS Nimitz would have been an anti-climax by comparison.

The luxury yacht, Samar, which is Arabic for ‘eat your heart out, infidel’ boasts a helipad, 12 luxury rooms, jacuzzis, a swimming pool, and more bikinied Barbies than your cardiac arrangement can take.

Ha, you sneer, but can Sheik Kutauba Alghanim (the said yacht owner) yamsing a Guinness whilst simultaneously doing an Elvis impersonation, like you? No, but he probably owns Guinness… and Elvis… and could offer you enough shekels to convince you to do it until you drown or dislocate both hips.

Anyway our loaded visitor from The Sandlands employs 12,000 workers (not including Elvis impersonators) and was listed as 804th on the Forbes list of the world’s filthy rich.
