By JAMES CLENCH MEGABUCKS Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich has given his oldest friend a sea-sational gift — a ￡75million yacht. Abramovich, 39, handed over floating palace Le Grand Bleu (Big Blue) to his business lieutenant Eugene Shvidler to thank him for his hard work. Shvidler, 41, is also a billionaire and already has a luxury yacht. But his 355ft prezzie is 178ft LONGER and worth ￡47million MORE. The yacht is from Abramovich’s existing armada. It comes complete with 65-strong crew, diving centre, helicopter, aquarium and speedboat. It was brainbox Shvidler who struck the ￡140million deal for the Russian tycoon to buy Chelsea. He sits on the club’s board and heads Abramovich’s oil firm Sibneft. A source on the yacht said: “Roman has known Eugene for at least 20 years and he is one of the few men he trusts. He will never forget the part Eugene played in helping him realise his dream of owning a Premiership club. “He wanted to show his appreciation and felt presenting him with one of his yachts would do it. “Eugene is delighted although he told Roman he didn’t expect such largesse.” Ironically, Shvidler has ticked off his pal in the past for splashing so much cash on his soccer team. He said: “My heart bleeds at the amount.” --
