RSS Every August, the mega-yachts descend on the south of France in a swarm of pristine white and fiberglass that glistens above the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Some of the world's largest yachts sail into the Mediterranean in August, where the world's wealthiest gather for sun and sun.

By day the yachts, some more than 400 feet long, coast from port to port and marina to marina. The owners, an exclusive club of the world's billionaires, take in local sights, dine at the region's most luxurious restaurants and soak up the sun on what have become their own "floating islands."

There are people who begrudge the yacht owners for "being rich." (Read the comments.)

Roman Abramovich was a Russian orphan who fought his way to the top of the world. How does a person who grew up with MORE opportunity than Abramovich actually begrudge him for doing something as monumental as what he's achieved?
Didn't THEY have a better chance than he did?

What a bunch of whiners!
I say, Good for Roman! He is the king of the yachting world!
