Found the internet!Germans Seize Russian Billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s Mega-Yacht
Da die Amerikaner jetzt auch ihre Task-Force losgeschickt haben, ebenso die Franzosen, mit dem Ziel den Oligarchen alles von Wert wegzunehmen, wird man in nächster Zeit wohl paar Yachten weniger auf dem Meer sehen.
Total cool fände ich, wenn Boris Johnson in London alle reichen Russen enteignen und die gekaufte Staatsbürgerschaft widerrufen würde.
Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov was sanctioned by the European Union on Monday. Two days later, Forbes has learned from three sources in the yacht industry that one of his prized possessions—the 512-foot yacht Dilbar, valued at nearly $600 million—has been seized by German authorities in the northern city of Hamburg.
The ship has been in the Hamburg shipyards of German shipbuilding firm Blohm+Voss since late October for a refitting job. Sources who spoke to Forbes said that the German government froze the asset and that, likely as a result, Blohm+Voss employees who had been working on the yacht didn’t show up to work on Wednesday. Representatives for Blohm+Voss and Usmanov didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Usmanov purchased Dilbar in 2016 for a reported cost of $600 million from German shipbuilder Lürssen, which custom-built it for him over 52 months. The firm calls it "one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of both dimensions and technology." At 15,917 tons, it's the world's largest motor yacht by gross tonnage, and is typically manned by a crew of 96 people. Dilbar boasts the largest swimming pool ever installed on a yacht as well as two helicopter pads, a sauna, a beauty salon, and a gym. Its plush interiors have more than 1,000 sofa cushions and it can host up to 24 people in 12 suites.
The yacht is part of Usmanov’s estimated multibillion dollar fortune, which spans stakes in iron ore and steel giant Metalloinvest and consumer electronics firm Xiaomi, as well as smaller holdings in telecom, mining and media. One of the earliest investors in Facebook along with fellow billionaire Yuri Milner, Usmanov also owns extensive real estate assets in the West, ranging from two estates in the UK—Beechwood House in London and Sutton Place in Surrey, valued at a combined $280 million—to luxury homes in Munich, Germany; Lausanne, Switzerland; Monaco; and Sardinia.
Usmanov sold his 30% stake in English soccer team Arsenal F.C. in 2018 for nearly $700 million in cash, but until this week had ties to soccer through his USM Holdings and MegaFon sponsorships of Everton F.C. The Premier League team said on Wednesday that it was suspending the arrangements in light of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
He’s not the only Russian billionaire with a mega-yacht: Forbes and yacht valuation experts VesselsValue tracked down 32 of them. Despite being hit by EU sanctions on Monday, Usmanov is yet to comment on them or on the war in Ukraine.
Ich frage mich wie viel co2 für die Herstellung dieses absolut unnötigen Luxusgutes für eine Person rausgeblasen wurde. Wie viele durchschnittliche Menschen könnten damit wohl den co2 Status ihres gesamten Lebens decken?
Denkt immer dran: Wir wissen was wir machen und wir machen es in vollstem Bewusstsein. Die Folgen haben wir uns selbst zuzuschreiben!
Fick uns!
Kann mir jemand mal erläutern, was dafür eigentlich die rechtliche Grundlage ist? Eine dauerhafte Enteignung kann es ja, glaube ich, nicht sein, da diese nciht entschädigungsfrei ablaufen darf.
Schwarz-Rot-Goldene Banderole rum und "Bundesregierung" auf die Seite kleben und ab in die Regierungsflotte damit. Annalena freut sich bestimmt.
Vielleicht könnte man sie auch zum Marine-Ausbildungsschiff umbauen. Oder ein paar Flak-Geschütze drauf montieren und in die Ostsee schicken.
Müsste in die Hamburger Flotte gehen. Nicht den guten deutschen Föderalismus vergessen.
