In a true story of dish rags to riches, the former dishwasher and billionaire owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars sailed to the New Orleans in his $360 million superyacht for the Super Bowl.

The luxury vessel, named Kismet, is 400 feet (121 meters) long and boasts top-tier luxury features.

The yacht is docked along the Mississippi River in the city of Louisiana, US.

Not bad for someone who started his career as a potwasher earning $1.20 per hour.

Jacksonville Jaguars billioniare arrives for Super Bowl

Shahid Khan traveled to New Orleans to support his team at the Super Bowl this Sunday, February 9.

Born in Pakistan, he worked as a dishwasher before building an automotive empire.

He revolutionized car bumpers and acquired Flex-N-Gate, making top-tier products and systems for the automotive industry – and billions in the process.

Since then, he acquired the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011 and Fulham Football Club in 2013.

Kismet is a $400 million superyacht

The stunning superyacht built by Lürssen is getting a lot of attention in downtown New Orleans.

The vessel includes six decks, pools, a gym, a spa, a helipad, and a cryotherapy chamber.

Quite the 180 from a guy who at one time was unable to afford a $9 hotel room.

It’s palatial enough to accommodate 15 guests and 36 crew members.

Khan took delivery of his Kismet superyacht last year, and he’s not chartering it, he’s actually using it.

Before docking in the US, the yacht of the billionaire was spotted in Guernsey, the Channel Islands, and Tilbury, United Kingdom and then, London.

It’s even starred in a Ryan Reynold’s film.

Interestingly, there’s actually another Kismet yacht, and this one is indeed available.

It can be chartered from charter firm Cecil Wright & Partners for $3.3 million per week.
