Billionaires Are Buying Crazy Submarines
From 80 million dollar submersible yachts to orcinus orca subs, we’ve got ways you may have never even thought of spending money! We’re going to cover a few fun subs that give you underwater experiences like no other. For starters, there’s Richard Branson’s $549,000 Necker Nymph. The equivalent of driving a flying open style sub-aquatic plane, you can do loop de loops and 360 degree maneuvers with two of your friends by your side. For more personal missions, James Cameron's 10M DeepSea Challenger drops straight down like a seahorse so you can explore the Earth's deepest point. He used it for taking 3D images in the Mariana Trench. He’s only the second person in the world to do that. You could be the third! There’s the mythical 80M Phoenix - the super yacht that rides above water and below in so much luxury you have to wonder if it even exists, or if it’s like the Loch Ness Monster. The Seabreacher is a two man vessel that dresses you up as a killer whale as you ride along at 70mph above water and up to 25 mph below it. Don’t let the orcas kind out you’re an imposter though. The Spymaster is perfect for a quick poking around at 40 feet below. And then there’s the chubby little sportsub. Looking to have been inspired by John Lennon’s Yellow Submarine, these underwater helicopters are easy to drive and cover the upper half of your body, leaving your below the waist area in the cold blue.
