TRUMP PRINCESS II Toys of presidents, mega-rich CEOs, Russian oli- garchs and Saudi royalty, the planet’s most pric- ey superyachts are incredible feats of engineer- ing and breathtaking works of art, kitted out with every conceivable luxury. Feast your eyes on the most extravagant. Commissioned more than 20 years ago by US President Donald Trump, Oliver Yacht Design drew up these designs for the Trump Princess II project. In a letter to designer Jaime Oliver, Trump said, when completed, it would “not only be the largest yacht in the world, but at the same time, the most beautiful”. Measuring 128 meters, this four-deck yacht was intended to be the larger ver sion of the president’s Trump Princess, which he sold back in 1991. These drawings show what it would have been a spa pool within reach of the main cabin (the owner’s suite). Downstairs, this interior space shows one of the many entertainment areas for guests to relax, dine and socialize. And back upstairs, the yacht would, of course, come equipped with a superyacht he- lipad. However, a few months into the design phase, Jaime Oliver was informed that this proj- ect too had been scrapped and that construction of the yacht would not go ahead due to financial issues Trump was experiencing at the time. 4GUYS.CA 61
