My yacht's bigger than yours! Battle of boats as billionaire Roman Abramovich is put in his place by Microsoft boss's larger vessel

He is used to having the biggest and best of everything.

Yet Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was put in his place yesterday by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

The billionaire Russian's 377ft yacht named Luna was moored close to the town of Antibes in South East France, making quite an impression on the coastline.

Battle of the boats: The Luna and the Octopus sit alongside each other in the Mediterranean close to the town of Antibes

Cruising by: Mr Allen's yacht Octopus eclipses Luna in length by 37ft and has its own helipads and a basketball court

But then Mr Allen's 414ft vessel, named Octopus, cruised past to give him the bragging rights.

The yacht is equipped with two helicopters, two submarines, a swimming pool, a music studio and a basketball court. Mr Abramovich's also has a swimming pool and helipads.

Mr Allen is also known for using the yacht to host star-studded parties where his band provide the music.

Mr Allen, who is worth around $13billion, will not get to keep them for too long however - Mr Abramovich owns the 536ft Eclipse - the world's largest private yacht.

Well equipped: Both vessels have two helipads and swimming pools alongside a host of other luxury rooms

Billionaires: Mr Allen and Mr Abramovich are among the world's richest men and as well as their huge yachts own a wide range of property and sports teams

It was thought that neither man was on board their respective boats in the Mediterranean.

Both do own huge homes in the south of France, with the Russian's being a £30million mansion in Cap d'Antibes.

There can be no argument who is on top when it comes to sports ownership however - and it is not the Chelsea owner.

The American is a part owner of the Major League Soccer side the Seattle Sounders, but also has control of NBA side the Portland Trail Blazers and NFL team the Seattle Seahawks.

Both men are among the world's 100 richest according to Forbes, with Abramovich ranking at number 53 and Allen at 57.

LOS ANGELES 9 Mei – Model terkenal, Gisele Bundchen mendahului model-model lain sebagai penerima pendapatan paling tinggi dalam senarai pendapatan tertinggi model Forbes 2011 dengan jumlah pendapatan sebanyak AS$45 juta (RM135 juta).

Supermodel itu diikuti rapat Heidi Klum and Kate Moss dalam senarai tersebut yang menunjukkan peningkatan pendapatan sebanyak 30 peratus berbanding tahun lepas.

Pendapatan Bundchen meningkat daripada AS$25 juta (RM75 juta) kepada AS$45 juta (RM135 juta) hasil daripada pelbagai penajaan.

Pendapatan Klum dan Moss masing-masing juga meningkat dari AS$16 juta (RM48 juta) kepada AS$20 juta (RM60 juta) dan dari AS$9 juta (RM27 juta) kepada AS$13.5 juta (RM40.5 juta).

Model-model lain yang turut berada dalam senarai sama turut mencatat peningkatan pendapatan, tetapi tidaklah setinggi tiga model tersebut.

Pendapatan Adriana Lima yang berada di tangga keempat senarai hanya meningkat setengah juta dolar kepada AS$8 juta (RM24 juta).

Alessandra Ambrosio pula berada di tempat kelima, naik satu tangga daripada kedudukan keenam tahun lalu dengan menerima AS$5 (RM15 juta), sementara di tangga keenam, Daria Werbowy menerima jumlah pendapatan yang sama pada 2010 iaitu AS$4.5 juta (RM13.5 juta).

Kemunculan mengejutkan dalam senarai Forbes adalah Lara Stone yang menerima pendapatan AS$4.4 juta (RM13.2 juta) dan berada di tempat ketujuh.

Kedudukan Carolyn Murphy pula memenuhi jangkaan apabila berada di tempat kelapan dengan pendapatan AS$4.3 juta (RM12.9 juta).

Natalia Vodianova dan Candice Swanepoel masing-masing berada di tempat kesembilan dan ke-10 dengan pendapatan AS$4 juta (RM12 juta) dan AS$3 juta (RM9 juta). - Agensi

Game, sweat and match for Ron

The pits ... Ronaldo works up a sweat as he trails hot Irina

MOST men would sweat buckets in the presence of IRINA SHAYK - and CRISTIANO RONALDO is no exception.

The Portuguese winger sported a couple of soggy armpit patches as the couple left the Masters 1000 tennis final in Madrid, Spain, yesterday.

Cristiano pointed toward his hot lover - possibly a move designed to steer attention away from his embarrassing perspiration - who sizzled in a revealing pink top.

Stunning ... Irina leads the way

The Russian beauty cut a serious figure as she exited the Magic Box stadium following NOVAK DJOKOVIC's triumph over RAFAEL NADAL.

But she looked loved-up with the greasy Real Madrid star during the match, nuzzling into his bejewelled ear and whispering sweet nothings.

Cristiano grinned like a besotted teen, clearly more distracted by his stunning model lover than the action on the court.

He was served an ace the day she walked into his life...

Tease ... Irina whispers sweet nothings as soppy Ronaldo falls into a trance
