  Correct.  The oligarchs who were given pieces of the Russian economy to privatize everything became extraordinarily wealthy.      Be alert in the USA when a certain political party starts going on about needing to privatize government services, social security, etc.   The oligarchs model and its private wealth is what their end goal is.
context: He owns at least 10 more yachts than was previously known, per the report.
  
  Imagine being so rich that investigations in to your assets can be off by ten yachts. >
  
  Are yachts some kind of investment? Why would a man need ten yachts? Are they in various harbors in the world so he can go on a sea trip in any of his favorite locations? Or do yachts not degrade value-wise  and can be resold for roughly the same price (doesn't sound right)? >

  Yes.  And often chartered when not in use by the owner.
  They used to devalue at a pretty tremendous pace. But we've just experienced a global pandemic fueled commodity and labour shortage.  If you were lucky enough to have been delivered any superyacht in 2019, you could have sold it to someone else for 10s of millions more.  Like the car market but for rich people.
  The same people paying 150k over sticker for a G Wagon.
  The waiting list is still pretty long for the big names I think.
  These yachts that he has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to refuel, let alone staff.  Millions of dollars per year to run...each.  some of them will be 10s of millions each.
  Some of his yachts have supporting yachts.  He had a yacht for his yacht so he doesn't have to clutter his big yacht with all the toys.  Plus extra cabins for guests or staff.
  The level of wealth these people have is beyond comprehension.
