After announcing his impending divorce from third wife, Dasha Zhukova, Russian billionaire businessman and owner of Chelsea Football Club, Roman Abramovich has been spending some alone time on his yacht in the billionaire's playground of Antibes.

Abramovich married Zhukova in a private ceremony in 2008 and they kept their marriage secret for several years. The couple have two children, Aaron Alexander and Leah Lou. As well as owning a luxury chateau-style villa in the Cap d'Antibes, the Russian oligarch also owns his own private Boeing 767 and one of the worlds largest and most expensive private yachts, 'The Eclipse'.

Announcing his divorce, Abramovich, who is worth an estimated €7.5billion, has 'amicably' agreed to part ways with his magazine editor wife Dasha Zhukova, 36. Just a few days later he was spotted on board his yacht in the south of France. 'The Eclipse' is a regular visitor to Billionaire's Quay in Antibe's Port Vauban marina, and boasts several helipads, two swimming pools and a disco hall. Celebrity visitors have included Katie Perry and Orlando Bloom and no doubt countless names from the Forbes Rich List.

Live like Abramovich

Ok...maybe not quite like him, but you can charter your own private yacht in Antibes and spend your days moored up in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean, complete with your own private chef and staff.
