We were told that Milner is the owner of the Yacht Andromeda. We are aware of a denial of his ownership by Burgess Yachts. Some call her Mark Zuckerberg yacht.
But in the meantime, we hear from many (industry) sources that Milner also bought the 116 meter Ulysses from Graeme Hart.
And we were told that he was spotted on board the yacht Andromeda, while the yacht was in Singapore in 2019. He visited the yacht with a team from Burgess Yachts.
Official statement: From Alice McGillion, spokesperson for Yuri Milner: “Neither Yuri Milner nor any family member nor any entity affiliated with him or his family own either the Andromeda or Ulysses yachts.”
