Alfa Nero

Alfa Nero is a super yacht built in 2007. In 2022, Forbes reported that the ship was owned by Andrey Guryev. On Friday June 16, 2023, Alfa Nero was sold to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt for $67.6 million during an auction by the government of Antigua and Barbuda, after it had been abandoned there following the imposition of economic sanctions as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Schmidt pulled out of the purchase due to lawsuits over title to the yacht. Since the planned sale, Guryev's daughter Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, has filed a suit claiming that she is the vessel's true owner, that it was never abandoned, and that the yacht's seizure and sale violated procedure.
