Sad, SO sad. Russian Usmanov's $735 million superyacht has been impounded.

Germany's Federal Police have seized the largest mega yacht in the world after determining it to be owned by the sister of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov.

The police said they were able to reveal the actual owner following an investigation into "offshore concealment," and that the yacht would remain at a shipyard in Hamburg.
With two helipads and the largest indoor pool ever installed on a yacht, Dilbar is worth between $600 million and $735 million and costs $60 million per year to maintain, according to the US Treasury.

I bet the kiddies would love that huge pool!
I’m sure it would warm comrade Usmanov’s heart to know that his money was finally being used for a worthy purpose.

More than a million per week to keep seaworthy.

Not that they ever would read or hear or watch it on TASS.
