Pelorus - Lex Luther's Real Life Yacht

In the movie Superman Returns, Lex Luther obtains a yacht from the late estate of his elderly lover. Much like Anna Nicole Smith, Lex makes out pretty darn good. If the boat looks familiar, it's probably because it looks astonishing like the world's largest yacht called Pelorus. As you can see by comparing this diagram of Lex Luther's boat with the actual pictures of Pelorus, there is a striking similarity.

So if Pelorus is the boat the ship in Superman Returns is patterned after, then who is the real-life Lex Luther?

That honor would go to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. He purchased Pelorus from a wealthy Saudi and retrofitted it to suit his needs modifying the original German design.

Pelorus is 377 feet long and powered by two 3,600-hp Wärtsilä engines. Pelorus also has a submarine capable of detecting sea mines, and a anti-missile detection system.

Yep, sounds like Lex Luther to me.
