Suleiman Kerimov’s luxury vessel Amadea was in the news for so much action that it was hard to keep up. That was a year ago. Since being impounded in San Diego, all the action was put to rest with nearly no news of the once glorious $325 million megayacht. But this is Amadea we are talking about, a pleasure craft so splendid it makes news for not making news. The ship was spotted aimlessly cruising around San Diego Bay which sounds unalarming, but one cannot ignore the 348-footer is doing so on American taxpayer’s money.
Ever since its seizure in May 2022, the American taxpayers splurged a whopping $110,000 daily, bringing the total of an enormous $13 million so far in just maintaining the Russian billionaire’s asset.
This is also a crucial reason why the US hasn’t put up the vessel for auction, as they still need more information to pin billionaire Kerimov as the actual owner of the boat. Amadea motoryacht arrived in San Diego in June of last year. It’s been docked off Pepper Park in National City ever since.
Why do we do this to ourselves??
