The real high-rollers didn't have to think twice about booking a room in overcrowded London during the Olympic Games—they just docked their megayachts in East London's Canary Wharf.
So far, there are seven gleaming yachts parked at the dock in South Quay, where mooring can cost more than $14,000 a day, according to Reuters. A few more giants are still expected to arrive.
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's megayacht, Octopus, was already there, as were boats belonging to Dutch billionaire Marcel Boekhoorn and the founder of Westfield shopping malls, Reuters reported.
Crews work on the 65-meter Seanna, which gleams in the London sun. This mega-yacht costs around $680,000 a week to rent.
The yacht, made by Benetti, practically dwarves the building behind her. She sleeps 12, but can accommodate many more for an Olympics party.
