Friends in high places!

 Ahoy there: Leonardo DiCaprio borrowed superyacht, the Topaz, to ensure his friends get to enjoy the World Cup in style

Leonardo DiCaprio certainly knows how to throw a party.


The Wolf On Wall Street has nothing on the actor when it comes to living a lavish lifestyle.

Clearly a big soccer fan, the 39-year-old has borrowed the fifth largest superyacht in the world to ensure his friends get to enjoy the World Cup in style.

The imposing 482-foot Topaz was birthed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Thursday while the Basketball Diaries star headed San Paulo to the kick off game between Brazil and Croatia.

Seen in the stands wearing a Brazilian scarf around his neck, the actor tried to keep a low profile as he watched the game.

However, it was hard for his yacht to do the same considering its imposing size.

 Lots to do: Leo and his 20 friends can make the most of the amenities which includes a deck top jacuzzi, a swimming pool, fitness hall, cinema and large conference room

Believed to have cost over $678 million, according to local newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo the superyacht is bigger than all but one ship in the Brazilian navy.

But Leo needs his space, as he is not the only one enjoying the luxury vessel with the actor bringing along 20 of his friends to join in the fun too, the newspaper reported.

It is not known if the Oscar nominated actor is paying to use the superyacht or whether it was a gift from its owner Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan - aka Sheikh Mansour - the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and the owner Manchester City FC.

Whoever is paying, if Leo or his guests tire of the football there is plenty for them to do on the Topaz.

The stunning vessel features a deck top jacuzzi, a swimming pool, fitness hall, cinema and large conference room.

And if getting to the games is a problem, the yacht also has helicopter landing pad.
