The former world’s richest man, Bernard Arnault, has a $150 million superyacht, and it has dominated the water at Monaco Harbor ahead of the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix.

The huge vessel showed other boats who was boss as it cruised into the French Riviera.

The yacht owned by the Louis Vuitton head honcho spans many decks and even has a waterfall on board.

The sighting comes ahead of the racing event this weekend and was spotted by a boat fan.

Superyachts are often a no-brainer purchase for multi-millionaires.

For example, Jeff Bezos’ huge $75m yacht has a vinyl room, a dog park, and a pickleball court.

Plus, the juice brand Capri-Sun founder’s $90 million yacht is also juiced up with a beach club and spa.

However, ahead of this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix, one superyacht has been spotted dominating the Mediterranean waters.

Meet the Symphony superyacht.

The huge 333-foot boat boasts a whole host of luxury features that are certain to make any businessman’s heart skip a beat.

According to Feadship: “Symphony basically has everything, including a beach club whose ceiling is a 6-meter glass-bottom contraflow swimming pool with its own waterfall.”

Uploaded to YouTube by Emmans, the yacht was spotted in action cruising the seas.

The huge floating paradise was stunning sight in a Monaco harbor that is no stranger to serious bits of boating kit.

The floating vessel appeared to be docking in the blue waters, joining other boats, including – bizarrely enough – a Viking vessel.

On board, there’s room for the whole family.

It can accommodate 16 guests and 30 crew members, plus it also has eight staterooms.

Furthermore its impressive demeanor has even earned it an award – ‘Best displacement Motor Yacht, 2,999GT and above’ – at The World Superyacht Awards 2016.

Its owner is none other than Bernard Arnault, a French businessman who owns many of the world’s top luxury companies, including Louis Vuitton.

According to Forbes, he has a vast net worth of $143.9 billion – so the $150 million superyacht was an easy purchase for the 76-year-old.

The Monaco Grand Prix is set to take place on Sunday, May 25th, and the luxury destination is set to be visited by heaps of racing enthusiasts ready to see drivers such as Lando Norris and Max Verstappen take to the famous Circuit De Monaco.
