It is worth around 600 million euros and belongs to the oligarch Alisher Usmanov.* The report is based on different sources from the yachting industry.

Ukraine conflict: Oligarch Usmanov’s Dilbar yacht not even confiscated?
But was the yacht really confiscated? As reported by Spiegel and other media, the Hamburg Economic Authority made it clear: There should not have been a confiscation. A spokeswoman told the portal: “No yachts were confiscated in the port of Hamburg.” The mega ship will probably not continue anyway. Economics Senator Michael Westhagemann promised on Tuesday that the current sanctions would only allow the transport of goods from the Port of Hamburg to Russia with individual customs permits. “You can assume that from now on no more yachts will go out,” Westhagemann told Der Spiegel.
Tegernsee: Oligarch Usmanov probably owns several villas in Bavaria
Usmanow is no stranger to Bavaria. Not just three villas, but four should belong to his possessions on the Schorn in Rottach-Egern.* There was only a rally there on Wednesday. The Greens local association Tegernseer Tal had called for it. “It is now necessary to send a message to Usmanov, even if he has already left. The message is clear: He should distance himself from this war and from Putin. He should use his influence with Putin, together with other oligarchs, to get Putin to give in,” said Thomas Tomaschek, spokesman for the local association.
