Wait! There is more!
We heard he is building a new private yacht, but we have not been able to identify the project. Update: its the new Solaris yacht.
We were told that Abramovich is the new owner of the yacht Solaris. Project Solaris is an expedition yacht. She is more than 140 meters long. Some sources claim she will be much longer: near 200 meters.
She is under construction at Lloyd Werft in Bremen Germany. We found an article in a German newspaper, more or less confirming this news. Production started in 2017, which makes sense given the current status of the hull.
This collage was created by Guillaume Conti. With photos of SuperYachtTimes, Butenunbinnen.de, and nwzonline.de. TheSolaris yacht was delivered in 2021.
Lloyd Werft also built his previous expedition yacht Luna, which he sold to Farkhad Akhmedov.
He reportedly also owns the 55 meter Amels yacht HALO, which was built as EJI for James Packer.
He owns several houses, or residences, around the world. One of his most expensive real estate is his Lowndes Square, London apartment. Lowndes Square is an expensive residential community in Belgravia, London.
Abramovich purchased six adjoining flats over the years at this address. He plans to transform the flats into a single home. It will have a value of around US$ 200 million when completed.
In 2013 Abramovich bought a mansion on 828 Fifth Avenue in New York. He paid US$ 75 million. This is a record price for a housing cooperative building. The Upper East Side mansion was built in 1886 for Edward Berwind. And is therefore known as the Berwind Mansion.
In 2014 some legal troubles occurred with the purchase. The previous owners’ widow, Angelika Ivanc, is challenging the sale in court. She is trying to get even more money.
Abramovich owns another UK property: Fyning Hill estate in West Sussex. It is a seven-
The estate was previously owned by King Hussein of Jordan. And before also by Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer.
In the South of France in Cap D’Antibes, Abramovich owns the Chateau de la Croë. Previous residents in this castle were The Duke of Windsor, Aristotle Onassis, and Stavros Niarchos.
Abramovich is rumored to have spent more than US$ 40 million on the renovation of Chateau de la Croë. Abramovich has another Mediterranean area property. He owns Villa Bover, on Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake.
He purchased Villa Bover from the famous Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher. For a report amount of US$ 24 million.
