In "The Wolf of Wall Street," Leonardo DiCaprio let loose in his portrayal of a hard-partying Wall Street trader. Now, he's in Brazil for the World Cup and ready to party in real life.

DiCaprio and 21 of his friends jetted into Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, where they will stay on a mega-yacht and watch the World Cup, Brazilian media reported.

The Oscar-nominated star and his friends will luxuriate on the Topaz, a 482-foot (147-meter) yacht that belongs to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, the owner of Manchester City football club, the newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo reported.

The Topaz is the fifth-largest yacht in the world and is bigger than all but one ship in the Brazilian navy, the aircraft carrier Sao Paulo, Folha said.

It said DiCaprio would travel to Sao Paulo for Thursday's opening match between Brazil and Croatia.
