Oil and gas tycoon Farkhad Akhmedov was ordered to pay about 40 percent of his fortune to his former wife Tatiana Akhmedova by London’s High Court in 2016 in one of the largest divorce settlements in legal history. Luna, an expedition yacht built for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich before Akhmedov bought it in 2014, has at least nine decks, space for 50 crew, two helipads, a vast swimming pool and a mini submarine.
When Reuters visited the yacht on Thursday, moored in Dubai’s Port Rashid, workers were installing new teak flooring on the large outdoor lower deck and a private security team was guarding it.
