http://www.gizmag.com Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich rose from obscurity and successfully navigated the shady world of early Russian privatization to become one of the world's wealthiest self-made billionaires. His 40-man private army of security personnel make him one of the best-protected businessmen in the world, and when his private gigayacht the Eclipse is handed over in time for Christmas this year, it will be the largest (at a staggering 560ft) and most expensive (at US$1.2 billion) private yacht the world has ever seen. Security will be as tight as you'd expect, with missile defence and intruder detection systems - but the Eclipse's most notable feature is a privacy system that can detect the digital cameras of snooping paparazzi and blind them with laser bursts, ruining spy photos.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-biggest-yacht-eclipse-roman-abramovich-anti-paparazzi-laser/12912/#comment-10741 http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-biggest-yacht-eclipse-roman-abramovich-anti-paparazzi-laser/12912/#comment-10741 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 08:38:28 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-biggest-yacht-eclipse-roman-abramovich-anti-paparazzi-laser/12912/#comment-8749 http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-biggest-yacht-eclipse-roman-abramovich-anti-paparazzi-laser/12912/#comment-8749 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:36:09 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-biggest-yacht-eclipse-roman-abramovich-anti-paparazzi-laser/12912/#comment-8710 http://www.gizmag.com/worlds-biggest-yacht-eclipse-roman-abramovich-anti-paparazzi-laser/12912/#comment-8710 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:56:39 -0500
