DREAMBOAT: €179 Million

For$208.4 million, you gain a yacht entirely about family time. Because Blank has grown children and grandchildren, it was important that multiple amenities appealed to multiple generations. Therefore, you’ll find a smile-inducing custom diving board, perfect for leaping into the ocean.

CHRISTINA O: €90 Million
Finally, this list of superyachts to buy with the Powerball jackpot had to include one of the most famous yachts in the world. Christina O originally belonged to Aristotle Onassis, the Greek shipping magnate. He bought her when she was a decommissioned naval frigate, remarkably for just $34,000. Subsequently, he commissioned a $4-million conversion to turn her into a 325-foot (99-meter) luxury yacht in the 1950s. Christina O went on to entertain celebrities and politicians. For instance, he wooed opera singer Maria Callas aboard, and later wooed—and married—former First Lady Jackie Kennedy. For $104.8 million, you can see if the walls can talk. Many of the design features are restored from Onassis’ days.
