Why wouldn’t young designer Jasmine Yarbrough be having the time of her life as she gets a taste of Karl’s lavish lifestyle on board his billionaire mate James Packer’s incredible $100 million famous floating palace, the Arctic P?

Endless Cristal champagne, staff to cater to your every whim, a stateroom decorated by one of the world’s leading designers, and a slew of rich boys’ toys, including the $10,000 jetskis she and Karl, 42, used to explore the beautiful waters of Bora Bora.

“There’s absolutely nothing you can’t have, and if they don’t have it on the boat, James sends one of the staff on the chopper to fetch it,” reveals a model, who spent time on the superyacht.

If Karl had to pick up the tab, it would have cost him $1 million-plus to treat Jasmine, 33, to what can only be described as five amazing days on the 88-metre long Arctic P, which has hosted everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Miranda Kerr.

During their getaway, a loved up Karl and Jasmine spent their days on board eating, drinking the finest wines, frolicking in the blue waters of Bora Bora and catching up with James, 49, who has not been seen in public in more than six months – ever since his break-up with US singer Mariah Carey.

“There’s absolutely nothing you can’t have, and if they don’t have it on the boat, James sends one of the staff on the chopper to fetch it,” reveals a model, who spent time on the superyacht.
