Roman Abramovich leads an ostentatious lifestyle much like like a modern-day Roman emperor. The Russian oligarch is known outside of Russia as an owner of Football club “Chelsea,” however Chelsea is just tip of the iceberg. The fortune of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich includes several properties all of which are worth more than “Chelsea” in different parts of the world, including Russia, Britain and France. Besides
real estate and sports, Abramovich is known for his taste for all the finer things in life.
Chateau La Croe
.
Roman Abramovich’s Cap d’Antibes mansion comprises all luxuries and comfort in itself. The home was built in 1927 in strict Victorian style for the English aristocrat Sir William Pomeroy Burton. It has also been a home to King Edward VIII after he married Wallace Simpson and abdicated the throne. Roman Abramovich bought it in 2001 and spent over $100 million to renovate it.
The mansion is located in south of France and costs £30million to him in 2001
Kensington palace garden
With the recent purchase of Kensington Palace Garden home, the Chelsea FC owner Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich has made an another addition to his London property empire. The property was once the Soviet embassy’s naval headquarters, which during the Cold War, Russian government use to monitor the activities from this base. It’s now part of the formal empire’s massive compound in ‘Billionaires Row’, Roman has acquired this mansion after paying whopping $119 million to hedge fund king Pierre Lagrange, who earlier acquired this mansion from the Russians for only $25 million in 2004.
Kensington Palace Garden is located in West London
Wildcat Ridge home
Roman Abramovich is an oligarch in Russia who has spent the most on properties. In April 2008 Abramovich bought Wildcat Ridge, which is a ranch perched above Snowmass Village. He bought this mansion form Leon Hirsch, former head of the medical firm US Surgical for $36 million.

Eclipse yacht
The 163.5 meter yacht (536 feet) Eclipse is the world’s largest yacht and at a reported cost of over £700 million, also the most expensive. Delivered in December, 2010, the yacht was constructed by Blohm + Voss from Germany in Hamburg. Mr. Roman Abramovich bought this giant of the sea at a time when most of the world’s working population was reeling under severe financial crisis, and he himself had lost a lot of his wealth in the process. But, it wasn’t a deterrent for him to splurge on super vessel.
Ecstasea yacht
Built in 2004 in the in the shipyard of Royal Van Lent, this luxury yacht was the largest Feadship ever built at the time of commissioning. The exterior design is the result of combined efforts from Terence Disdale and De Voogt Naval Architects. Terence has had influence in the Asian styled interior design of the yacht. It can carry 12 passengers in 6 separate suits. Four main MTU engines grant it a total power of 12,616 hp. Additionally it is outfitted with a General Electric LM2500 gas turbine on board, which gives a combined power of 30,843 hp. This allows the yacht to reach a maximum speed of more than 30 knots. The mystery over the ownership of this 282 feet yacht is shrouded in dark. Lately there have been reports that suggest Abramovich has sold this smallest member of his yacht family to an Arab Sheikh for $200 million. However, due to lack of solid evidence we can safely assume that Abramovich still enjoys cruising over Ecstasea
Luna yacht
Luna is dubbed as the largest expedition yacht in the world. Designed by Lloyd Werft and Stahlbau Nord Shipyards, the 115m (377ft) motor yacht Luna is very luxurious featuring two helicopter pads, large, open aft deck with covered swimming pool and sunbathing areas, a dedicated open luxury leisure area featuring a beach club leading down to the swim platform.
