Bob Manoukian & His Boat



That beautiful yacht belongs to Bob Manoukian and is named Siran. It was built in 1992 and is more than 208 feet long: that's 63 meters! It is made of steel, but with two 1,600 horsepower engines to move it around, it doesn't really matter! Oh, and it is valued at over $60 million!

Now, the owner. Bob Manoukian is described as, "Armenian by birth, Lebanese by nationality and British by residence since the 1970s." Not only that, he is very rich, though he tends to keep a low profile. How rich? The Sunday Times estimates his fortune at more than $550,000,000! At one point, he was an agent for Prince Jefri of Brunei, who is known for collecting thousands of cars; it is also known that he owns significant real estate in Beverly Hills.

It doesn't stop there, though. Besides the yacht and the numerous assets, he also owns a Boeing executive jet, a mansion in London's Belgravia, and a Bugatti Veyron, which he was able to obtain without waiting by snapping one up at a charity auction!
