Mad Vlad, whose forces are bombing women and children in Ukraine, spared no expense on the six-deck Scheherazade.
Vladimir Putin's superyacht Scheherazade’s official cost could be close to $1billion
A worker who helped build it said: “Every surface is marble or gold. There are countless swimming pools, a spa, a sauna, a theatre, ballrooms, a gym, two helipads. It’s like a mini city.
“And it is an unimaginable amount of wealth when the average Russian’s salary is £5,000 a year, and people there are struggling to eat.”
A tiled dancefloor lowers to turn into a pool. It is thought to be one of only two on ships in the world — the other is on Putin’s yacht Graceful.
Other indulgences include a self-levelling pool table, five-metre aquarium and the biggest TV on a yacht, stretching 4.5m across an entire wall, which cost a million euros to install.
The ship’s highly sophisticated security system with four radars is said to be capable of shooting down drones.
With that being said, here is a more precise analysis of the current controversy over that super yacht.

From the comments at your link:
Gerald Ford has a pretty good superyacht too. Not only does it have a helipad it holds 70 super jets! Plus houses 4500 crew to look after everything.
Putin might want to keep all his superyachts safely far away from Gerald Ford’s superyacht.
When I worked at Bell Helicopter, there was an aircraft being built and appointed for a Prince of the UAE. Armed guards were at that chopper day and night. All of the hardware items (door handles, seat belt buckles, knobs on the instrument panel, built-in drink trays in the rear seat area, etc.) were gold.
yup.
