Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich Owns 16 Yachts And Vessels, 10 More Than Previously Known
Giacomo Tognini Forbes Staff Jan 6, 2023,12:35pm EST
Documents show that the sanctioned tycoon has a much larger fleet than previously known. At least one of the previously unreported yachts is currently in French territory, putting it at risk of being frozen by authorities.
A trove of leaked documents has revealed several previously unreported assets owned by sanctioned Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. The files, shared with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and its partners, including Forbes, show that Abramovich owns at least 10 more yachts and vessels through offshore companies and trusts—in addition to six yachts worth at least $1 billion that were already public knowledge.
The documents come from MeritServus, a Cyprus-based corporate services provider used by Russian oligarchs, and were initially shared with The Guardian, which received them from an anonymous third party. According to The Guardian, the files show that Abramovich transferred ownership of 10 offshore trusts with billions of dollars in assets—including the trust that owns his yachts and private jets—to his seven children in early February 2022, just three weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and about a month before Abramovich was sanctioned by the U.K. and EU. An OCCRP investigation using company records and documents in the leak also revealed that Abramovich had invested some $230 million in a large Russian forestry company—whose other shareholders included the Russian government—between 2008 and 2016, before selling his stake for about $110 million one month before the outbreak of war in Ukraine.
Forbes identified 10 vessels owned by Abramovich that had not been previously attributed to him, bringing his overall tally to 16. Eight of the ships are small vessels that, according to the leaked documents, are “used to support the operations” of Eclipse, the 533-foot, $427 million megayacht that Abramovich had built in 2010. Eclipse is currently moored in the Turkish port of Bodrum, with three more of Abramovich’s yachts—the 458-foot, $475 million Solaris, the 180-foot, $38 million Halo and the 220-foot, $20 million Garcon—all anchored nearby, along Turkey’s western Mediterranean coast. A representative for Abramovich did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Outside of the eight support vessels, the leaked documents also show that Abramovich owns a 40-foot Bluegame motor boat named Umbra A, valued at roughly $1 million in a 2016 annual report. The most valuable of the previously unreported yachts is the 80-foot Kewpie, worth about $3 million according to yacht valuation experts VesselsValue. The ship is registered in Bermuda and is currently located in the French overseas territory of Saint Barthélemy, more commonly known as St. Barts, where it has been moored since early November. Abramovich is a familiar face in St. Barts: He owns two properties on the island, one of which was frozen by French authorities in April.
That means Kewpie is also at risk of being frozen, because it’s located on French territory and Abramovich is under EU sanctions—unlike the megayachts in Turkey, which has not imposed sanctions on Russian oligarchs. And Kewpie isn’t the only one of Abramovich’s vessels that could be in trouble. His 162-foot, $11 million Sussurro has been moored in La Ciotat on the French Riviera for nearly a year. Yet another yacht, the 164-foot, $30 million Aquamarine, appears to still be in the Netherlands. Aquamarine’s ultimate owner is a British Virgin Islands-based company that Abramovich transferred to his business associate David Davidovich on February 24, 2022.

That was it?
THAT was the big reveal he teased about yesterday that was posted last night?
How abut a few thousand more "immigrants" bussed into Chicago. When the African-American voters see the Free Shit is going to illegals, so not only is that gravy train gone, but the whole Reparations crap they would dangle to get votes is off the table. Can't appease urbanites and fund proxy wars at the same time.
If Chicago votes democrat, the election was rigged. Simply remind Chicago, and NYC for that matter, that Cameltoe is supposed to be in charge of the Border. Both those cities are having problems dealing with the illegals already there. Since the Border Patrol has so many extra, send 'em into those cities and remind them Harris wants that Border wide-open. Might want to suggest road signs in Spanish.
A few thousand illegals in Mad Maxine's District sounds good as well. Don't skip Omar's District in Dearborn either, I think the Somalis there would just be all about fiesta over that
Yeah, "you're playing with people's lives!"
Duh, what have these bozos been doing for decades now? How many posts are in the archives now proving that the "elites" consider everybody else expendable?
Popcorn munching intensifies
I dare you to walk into a VFW and say that shit
Nope, can't forget Ben
Used to be an "anon" would post Ben's stuff in the Japan bread and insist Ben was right about everything since Ben lives in Tokyo
Yemen's Houthi Rebels Claim "Direct Hit" on an "American" Ship
But early assessments suggest that the vessel was neither hit, nor American
Published Jan 31, 2024 5:21 PM by The Maritime Executive
Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed an attack on another "American merchant ship" and asserted that the munitions "directly hit the vessel." The group made the claim after U.S. Central Command reported shooting down a Houthi antiship missile over the Red Sea.
According to Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree, the group targeted a vessel named Koi. There are several vessels of that name in international databases; only one of them, a Liberian-flagged container ship, is currently located near Yemen.
Saree's claim could not be immediately confirmed, and Houthi forces have made inaccurate assertions about their success rate in the past. One shipping intelligence source told TME that the claim does not appear to be true.
The vessel does not have any clear ties to the United States, though she is connected to the UK by virtue of her commercial manager, London-based Oceonix Services. Oceonix is also the manager of the Marlin Luanda, the product tanker that was hit by a Houthi missile and caught fire last week.
Western analysts and governments believe that Iran is closely involved in Houthi attacks, from target selection to the supply of missile components. While the Houthis' approach may be scattershot, Iranian operatives understand how to discern a ship's underlying commercial ties, according to Dr. Ian Ralby of IR Consilium.
"They've proven themselves over the years to be very competent in identifying a specific entity attached to a vessel and targeting that entity," said Ralby in congressional testimony earlier this week.
