In 2016 a dividend of EUR 26 million (US$ 30 million) was paid to her shareholders. Heesen has built several yachts for Alekperov. The 50-meter Galactica (2007), the 35-meter Galactica Plus (2012), and the 70-meter Galactica Super Nova (2016). The new 80-meter GALACTICA (Project Cosmos), will be his new yacht. Update Nov 2021: the yacht is now named Galactica, supporting his ownership. Galactica is the largest yacht ever built at Heesen. In 2022 she was renamed Genesis. Her legal title was transferred to an off-shore company within the Lukoil Group. After that, the Heesen shipyard was sold to an independent Dutch foundation. So in a sense Genesis was delivered to her owner Alekperov.
A lot of projects of Heesen Shipyards start at speculation. But are sold before delivery.
His net worth is estimated at $26 billion. This makes him one of Russia’s richest men.
