The luxury yacht Venus was built at Feadship for Apple founder Steve Jobs. When the superyacht was delivered in 2012, it was rumored to have cost more than EUR 100 million. The yacht was designed by Jobs himself. Together with famous designer Philippe Starck.
On delivery of the yacht, there was a legal dispute about payment. It became known that Starck earned a US$ 9 million fee with the project.
