In 1995, Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky acquired the controlling interest in the large oil company Sibneft.  Berezovsky was an associate of President Boris Yeltsin.

Each partner paid USD 100 million for half of the company and rapidly turned it into billions.

Building a new Expedition Yacht

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.

Yacht Solaris

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.

Lloyd Werft

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.

Luna

Lloyd Werft also built his previous expedition yacht Luna, which he sold to Farkhad Akhmedov.

Halo

He reportedly also owns the 55 meter Amels yacht HALO, which was built as EJI for James Packer.
