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.

I want a Nimitz Class aircraft carrier for my luxury yacht. Y'know, when I'm super rich.

Good luck buying fuel!

I'm quite sure that if someone were to be able to procure a functioning Nimitz-class carrier, the Pentagon would be willing to turn a blind eye to an occasional procurement of fuel rods in exchange for, shall we say, arrangements for occasional basing and resupply with plausible deniability.

"Of course it wasn't us. Don't be ridiculous. We don't have a carrier battle group within two thousand miles of there."
