What do you get for the mega-billionaire who has everything else except a sense of good taste?  What else but a "yacht" the size of a Queen Elizabeth-class battleship?1

[1]  OK, I concede, this is slightly inaccurate.  Her Majesty's Royal Navy did not formally classify the Queen Elizabeth class as battleships.

...They were classified as super-dreadnaughts.

These gigayachts have the same problem: where the hell can they tie up? How many ports can service them?

I suppose that's why they need multiple 40-foot "tenders".
