Roman Abramovitch Lives The Perfect Vacation On A $90 Million Dollar Chunk Of St. Bart's

Where: St. Barts

Why is it that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich consistently steals our hopes and dreams and lives them out? The man purchased a $500 million property in the south of France, built himself two mega-yachts with innovative anti-pirate defenses, and he's even got another yacht on the way. That's why, with all these playthings already and the fact there's not enough time in a year to enjoy them, we're a bit miffed that he would go snatch up a prime chunk of the ritzy Caribbean island of St. Barts for himself.

Roman bought the 70-acre property, with a full beach and Balinese bungalows, for a cool $90 million. If he only spent one weekend in one of his two Colorado ski-in, ski-out properties (um, in July) last year, then when will he find the time to vacation in the Caribbean? Perhaps it's just a parking space for his three-plus boats?

Forget winning the MegaMillions lottery or working all your life for a quiet retirement full of all-inclusive vacations; it sounds like the best job in the world is to be Abramovich's pool boy. We volunteer; we'll even throw in scrubbing barnacles off of his boats. If Abramovich is going to set up shop on a hefty piece of land on one of the world's most expensive islands, then the least he can do is hire some people who will whistle while they work. Roman, call us.
