What Price was Ulysses Sold For?
The 107 meter Ulysses was put for sale, asking US$ 195 million. In early October 2017 she was sold. We received a message that the was purchased by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, founder of Digital Sky Technologies.
His net worth is US$ 3.5 billion. However, we also became aware of an Instagram message by Burgess Yachts (who was involved in the sale) denying that Mr. Milner is the buyer.
Do you known who the buyer of the yacht is? Please do send us a message. Update we keep receiving persistent messages that Mr. Yuri Milner is the owner of the yacht Andromeda. (And Mr. Milner was spotted in Singapore boarding the yacht with Burgess employees)
We were told by several sources that Milner also bought the 117 meter Ulysses! We’ll update as soon as we know more.
