The Alfa Nero (the name is even cool) expands to 269 feet, and was named for Roman emperor Nero. Our Big List is not the only list this exotic and expensive mega yacht has made, she also ranked #43 in Boat International’s list of the world’s 100 largest yachts in February of 2009!

This is one of our personal favorites. Some of the higher-end Bugatti’s go for around $2-$3 million, but this one certainly takes the cake…and your wallet! And that is why this Bugatti makes our ‘Big List‘!
It is a 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, and has sold for somewhere between $30-$40 million (reports vary). The auction house broker, Gooding & Company is of course keeping silent on the matter, in order to provide the proper standards of customer confidentiality.
