Alfa Nero is a super yacht built in 2007.[4]
In 2022, Forbes reported that the ship was owned by Andrey Guryev.[5] 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.[6] Schmidt pulled out of the purchase due to lawsuits over title to the yacht.[7]
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.[8]
