The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious races in the world of motorsports. Fans from all over the world flock to Monte Carlo each year to see Formula 1 drivers tackle one of the most difficult city courses in racing.
Some of those fans bring their expensive yachts to the race to watch from the harbor.
One of those fans will be bringing one of the most impressive yachts you'll ever see.
The Octopus, which may need its own zip code, was built for the late Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft and former owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders.
The vessel is worth $285 million, is 414 feet long and can sleep 26 guests and 63 crew members. It has two helipads, a basketball court, a movie theater and its own pool.
It can go around 9,000 miles before it needs to refuel. The price to rent the yacht for a week is almost as extravagant as the amenities it offers, coming in at a staggering $2.4 million.
Annually, the yacht costs an estimated $20 million to operate each year.
When you watch coverage of this week's Monaco Grand Prix, keep an eye out for Octopus. It won't be hard to find.
