Mr Melnichenko spent €400 million (£292 million/$450million) on the luxury ship which will be named the 'Sailing Yacht A'

It boasts eight decks, a glass observation area, measures a roomy 468 feet and weighs 14,224 tons

The ship will have a crew of around 54 people and will be the largest privately owned sailing yacht in the world 

The masts are taller than Big Ben's tower and its sails are bigger than a football field when all are flying 

It's not a dilemma that most people will ever have to worry about but what does a man worth £6billion ($9billion) do to spend his money?

Russian businessman Andrey Melnichenko has answered the billion-dollar question after building the world's largest sailing yacht - at a cost of £292 million ($450 million).

The multi-billionaire already has one luxury home on the seas - the Motor Yacht A - but has this time turned his attention to sailing power.
