The Perils of Keeping a Mistress and Owning a Yacht for Russian Oligarchs

Not a problem I'm ever going to have, but still makes for a hilarious post from Tom Smith at The Right Coast -
I read somewhere about the controversial yacht some Russian oligarch has recently launched. It sounds like your total Bond villain yacht. Instead of lots of decks for your mistress to sun herself on (and normally they do that a lot), the thing is totally enclosed, and its hull is designed like that of a war ship. Various people in the yacht world are offended by it. But the interesting thing I think is how the ship's interior is decorated. Apparently the whole thing inside, furnishings, walls, everything, is in pale leather, all the same shade. Why? Because that is how the mistress wanted it. She is some former super model or something. So here you are, a Russian billionaire, who kills people if they get in your way, and you can't even decorate your yacht the way you want to.
