Report: Putin Secretly Built $50 Million Superyacht, Possibly for Rumored Partner
-
Vladimir Putin has a new 71-meter, $50 million superyacht called the Victoria, built in secret at a Russian military shipyard, according to a report by Russian opposition group Dossier Center.
-
The Victoria can accommodate 28 people and was docked in Turkey for repairs in October, per ship tracking data cited in the report.
-
The report alleges the yacht is linked to Putin's rumored mistress, former Russian gymnast Alina Kabaeva, who supposedly vacations on it.
-
Putin officially earns only about $140,000 annually as president, but likely has amassed tens of billions in secret wealth.
-
Last year authorities seized a much larger, $700 million superyacht connected to Putin, with two helipads, a swimming pool, and gold-plated bathrooms.
