hodor yacht owner

Las Vegas billionaire has 2 megayachts docked in Maine at once

by Troy R. Bennett, Bangor Daily News

PORTLAND, Maine ( BDN ) -- The billionaire owner of a megayacht visiting the Portland Harbor this week is so rich he brought along a second megayacht just to house all his expensive toys.

The second vessel, the 217-foot Hodor, was purposely designed to trail the 285-foot Lonian. The Hodor is likely hauling a crew of 20, five smaller boats, an array of jet skis, and a set of four-wheelers for use on land, according to the website Superyacht Fan. The Hodor can reportedly also accommodate a 6-ton helicopter, though none was spotted Wednesday morning.

Both boats, now at Fore Points Marina, are owned by Las Vegas casino tycoon and former Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Lorenzo Fertitta.

A private, motor-driven pleasure boat longer than 24 meters — or about 80 feet — is usually called a superyacht. But larger vessels over 60 meters — or 196 feet, like Fertitta’s boats — are known as megayachts

Superyacht Fan estimates the Hodor cost $30 million when it was new in 2019 and now costs between $3 million and $5 million to operate and maintain every year. But that astronomical price is a bargain compared to its mothership, the Lonian. The website reckons it was purchased for $160 million in 2018 and costs upwards of $15 million annually.

Fertitta’s pair of ultra-expensive vessels aren’t the only megayachts in town.

Parked at the next slip over is the Cayman Islands-flagged, 242-foot M&EM, which can accommodate 12 guests in six cabins, along with a crew of 19, according to Amels Yachts, the Dutch company which built it in 2022. The M&EM can cruise at 16.5 knots and has a range of about 5,000 nautical miles.

It isn’t clear who owns the M&EM, but according to Vesselfinder, it arrived in Portland on Sept. 1 after being spotted in Portugal on Aug 25.

Also at Fore Points is the relatively small, 166-foot superyacht Sapphire, built in 2009. According to big-boat broker Denison Yachting, the Sapphire had an extensive retrofit in 2019 and can sleep up to 20 guests in seven staterooms. It’s for sale with an asking price of $15 million.

Two massive super-yachts appeared in the Santa Barbara Channel last Thursday, drawing awe and questions from beachgoers and residents.

According to Harbormaster Mike Wiltshire, the two offshore vessels are the Lonian — a 285-foot super-yacht built by Feadship of Florida and the Netherlands — and the Hodor , its 216-foot companion ship. Both are owned by billionaire Lorenzo Fertitta, former CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

The Lonian was purchased for $160 million in 2018 and can hold up to 12 guests and 27 crew members, including the captain. According to superyachttimes.com , the ship is ranked as the 117th largest super-yacht in the world, and its sister ship, the Hodor serves as a trailing garage, housing the “toys,” which include ATVs, motorcycles, and a helicopter; the ship has its very own helicopter pad.

The ships have led to a number of calls to the Harbor Patrol from Santa Barbara residents, some of whom wondered if the Hodor ’s helipad indicated a military ship.

Wiltshire said the ships’ captains and crew contacted the Waterfront Department on the evening of Thursday, August 26.

“We provided them with anchor coordinates at that time,” he said. “They have not indicated how long they will be here.”

The two ships were anchored off of Newport Beach a couple of days before their trip to Santa Barbara. Wiltshire said that boats anchoring off the Santa Barbara coast is not unusual, as the department frequently sees large ships requesting to stop by the channel.

“Nothing overly out of the ordinary as we occasionally provide anchor coordinates for vessels too large to moor in the harbor, and they typically shuttle into port using tender boats,” Wiltshire said.

Las Vegas billionaire Lorenzo Fertitta has been enjoying fall in the Northeast on his 285-foot megayacht, Lonian , and he doesn't travel light.

Wherever he goes, he also brings a second megayacht, the 217-foot Hodor , which follows the Lonian and carries equipment. (The average motor yacht , by the way, is around 40 to 70 feet, and a "large yacht" is considered to be around 70 to 90 feet .)

Both ships were spotted in Maine in early September at the Fore Points Marina, per the Bangor Daily News . Last weekend, the vessels were parked in Boston Harbor. Perhaps the desert native is enjoying some fall foliage leaf-peeping.

"When you're a billionaire, you get to park your 285-foot superyacht in the North End along with your 215-foot superyacht next to it which is just dedicated to carrying your jet skis, motorcycles, Peloton bikes, personal submarine, and helicopter," writes Only in Boston.

The website Superyacht Fan estimates that the main vessel, Lonian , was bought for $160 million in 2018 and costs at least $15 million annually to maintain and operate. The Hodor megayacht that carries everything (helicopter, jet skis, small boats, gym equipment), was estimated to have cost $30 million in 2019 and $3 to $5 million yearly in operating costs.

Fertitta is the longtime former CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship. In 1993, he and his brother, Frank Fertitta, inherited their father's casino business, per Forbes .

Inside The Superyachts Of America’s Richest People

For the first time ever, forbes dug into how many superyachts are owned by america’s 400 richest people and how much they’re truly worth. turns out it’s a bigger share of all superyachts around the world, even though they are not necessarily the most valuable., by giacomo tognini and stephen pastis , forbes staff.

S ometimes, the trappings of a multi-billion dollar fortune get old. Forbes 400 member Shahid Khan of auto parts supplier firm Flex-N-Gate decided in 2020 that his superyacht, Kismet , needed an update. So he splurged nearly $390 million on building a new 400-foot superyacht—also named Kismet , which was delivered in April. The new floating pad features fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a bow shaped like a jaguar (presumably a nod to Khan's Jacksonville NFL team) plus all the usual yacht trimmings, from a helipad to a mosaic-lined swimming pool.

But first, he had to make room. Last September, he sold his previous yacht—also named Kismet —for $159 million to Eric Schmidt , the former Google CEO. Schmidt had been in the market for a new boat after his planned $67 million purchase of the 269-foot Alfa Nero fell through, reportedly due to concerns that the yacht’s alleged owner, a sanctioned Russian oligarch , would sue to regain control. (The yacht, which had been frozen by U.S. authorities in 2022 and was sitting idle in the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, eventually sold in July for $40 million to an unnamed buyer.)

Khan and Schmidt aren’t the only American billionaires with a passion for yachts. While the largest—and most valuable—yachts in the world are owned by Middle Eastern royals and Russian oligarchs (in fact, all 17 of the longest yachts are owned by individuals from these two groups), Americans own the most, with roughly one out of four of all superyachts—commonly defined as those larger than 40 meters (131 feet)—belonging to an American. That’s three times as many as Russians, the second-largest yacht owners, according to industry publication SuperYacht Times.

For the first time ever, Forbes has compiled a list of all of the yachts owned by America’s 400 richest people . Collectively, Forbes estimates that 40 members of the Forbes 400 own at least 60 yachts worth more than $6 billion, according to yacht valuation experts VesselsValue. Some own multiple, while others focus on one extravagant build, which can cost in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

These ships range from the modest— Igor Olenicoff ’s 118-foot, $2 million Rusalka —to the grandiose, such as David Geffen ’s Rising Sun . The 18th largest yacht in the world at 453 feet and the biggest one owned by an American, it comes with a basketball court that converts to a helipad and has hosted celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and fellow billionaire Oprah Winfrey . The most valuable American-owned yacht is Jeff Bezos ’ Koru , a custom-built 417-foot sailing yacht that’s worth an estimated $500 million.

While Geffen owns the biggest and Bezos the most valuable, it’s Gabe Newell —the cofounder of video game company Valve—who owns the most. His six ships (plus several submarines), which he manages through his maritime research organization Inkfish, make up the largest fleet among America’s richest people.

Newell is not the only American whose love of floating mansions seems to stem at least in part from a passion to better understand the ocean. Ex-Google CEO Schmidt bought the Falkor Too, a $75 million research vessel owned through the nonprofit Schmidt Ocean Institute, in 2021. Ray Dalio , founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, owns the $82 million OceanXplorer , a souped-up research vessel that has its own TV show on National Geographic.

Sometimes owning a superyacht can be a liability, or worse—deadly—as the August tragedy involving onetime billionaire Michael Lynch ’s yacht Bayesian illustrates. Lynch and six others perished when the yacht sank off the coast of Italy. That same month, Laurene Powell Jobs ’ 256-foot, $81 million yacht Venus collided with Lady Moura , a yacht owned by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego . Fortunately, no one was hurt. In early 2020, hedge fund billionaire Daniel Loeb 's 197-foot, $45 million yacht Samadhi damaged a coral reef in Belize , spurring an apology from Loeb, who committed to working with a local conservation group to restore the reef.

Here are the yachts owned by America’s 400 richest people:

Owner: Jeff Bezos

Size: 417 feet, estimated value: $500 million.

Jeff Bezos' Koru yacht.

The custom-built sailing yacht is the second-largest of its kind in the world (behind Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko ’s SY A ) Based on the word Koru in the Māori language of New Zealand, which means the spiral shape of an unfurling silver fern frond, it is a symbol of harmony and eternal movement. The yacht briefly stirred controversy when its Dutch builder, Oceanco, proposed partially dismantling a historic bridge in Rotterdam to allow it to sail through. (After local protests, the yacht was instead towed elsewhere.) It comes with its own “support vessel” named Abeona , worth $53 million, and the bow features a sculpture of a woman who many believe is modeled after Bezos' girlfriend, Lauren Sánchez—a claim she has denied , stating it depicts the Norse goddess Freyja.

Owner: Shahid Khan

Size: 400 feet, estimated value: $390 million.

Shahid Khan's Kismet yacht.

The third yacht named Kismet (which means fate or destiny) built for Khan, this newest version was codenamed Project Jag before it was delivered in 2024. (Previous iterations of Kismet hosted musical guests including Charli XCX and Oasis’ Noel Gallagher.) The yacht is built for comfort, featuring a "7-star wellness suite" that comes with a hammam, sauna and cryotherapy chamber, plus a private treatment room with a massage table and a chromotherapy bathtub, according to the builder, Lurssen. The aquatic theme continues in the lower deck, which boasts a “Nemo cinema” with a 150-inch TV and an underwater seating area.

Owner: Mark Zuckerberg

While Zuckerberg is relatively new to the yachting world, he started big. Feadship, one of the world’s most popular superyacht builders, called Launchpad the largest yacht it had ever built when it was delivered in early 2024. (Originally named Katusha , the yacht was apparently intended to be built for Russian metals tycoon Vladimir Potanin .) With a dark navy hull and curving shapes, it has all the typical luxuries of a superyacht: two helipads, a swimming pool with a movable floor and a private outdoor deck with a jacuzzi.

Project Y722 (Not yet delivered)

Owner: gabe newell, size: 364 feet, estimated value: $335 million.

The yet-to-be-delivered Project Y722 is the crown jewel in Gabe Newell’s fleet of ships, a custom craft built by Netherlands-based Oceanco. The “future-proofed” megayacht comes with its own diesel-electric power plant and a battery energy storage system, allowing for "extended periods of emission-free silent running" according to the company. It is expected to be delivered in 2025.

Owner: Charles Simonyi

Size: 295 feet, estimated value: $250 million.

Norn , a Lurssen-built yacht, resembles a U.S. Navy destroyer more than the typical superyacht, with sharp, angular corners and a military-style bow. Still, the builders didn’t skimp on luxury for its owner Charles Simonyi , an early Microsoft employee who later sold a startup to his old firm: Norn has an outdoor cinema and a swimming pool with a liftable floor that turns into a dancefloor.

Owner: Jan Koum

Size: 324 feet, estimated value: $237 million.

One of four ships in WhatsApp cofounder Jan Koum ’s fleet, Moonrise is a striking yacht with all-teak decks—including the helipad—drawing a sharp contrast with its white steel hull and aluminum structure. Its support vessel, Nebula , is the largest ever produced by its builder, Astilleros Armón, and features an air-conditioned helicopter hangar. When Koum gets bored, he can always step onto his $68 million, 241-foot yacht Mogambo with its own support boat, Power Play .

Owner: Nancy Walton Laurie

Size: 361 feet, estimated value: $236 million.

Kaos was famously defaced with graffiti by activists (twice) in Ibiza and Barcelona. Still, that hasn’t stopped its owner, Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie , from enjoying it. One of the largest superyachts built in the Netherlands at the time of its delivery in 2017, Kaos can fit 30 guests and features “visual tricks” in the shape of unusable deck areas and overhangs, which give a better sense of proportion, according to its builder, Oceanco. It was delivered to Laurie already outfitted with her own fine china, silverware, and even loose furniture.

Bravo Eugenia

Owner: jerry jones, size: 357 feet, estimated value: $223 million.

Jerry Jones' Bravo Eugenia yacht.

The Dallas Cowboys owner ’s yacht, named in tribute of his wife, was considered a “pioneer” by its builder, Oceanco, for its sustainability and fuel efficient attributes when it was delivered in 2018. With “waste heat recovery” and “integrated battery systems,” the yacht floats ahead of its gas-guzzling sisters with (slightly) cleaner operations, consuming 30% less fuel than a standard vessel of its size, according to Oceanco’s website. Part of that design is to help Jones accomplish a goal he told Yachts International in 2019: “to see as much of the world as possible from the perspective of the sea.” More than 14 guests can coast efficiently in style, enjoying its sundry amenities like a sauna and movie theater. The yacht has gotten its moment in the spotlight, too, when in 2020, Jones called into the NFL draft from an ornate room on the yacht, as ESPN reporter Don Van Natta posted online.

Owner: David Geffen

Size: 454 feet, estimated value: $214 million.

David Geffen's Rising Sun yacht.

Built in 2004, Rising Sun is much older than the rest of the yachts owned by America’s richest, one reason its value has depreciated so much since Geffen bought it for a reported $590 million from fellow Forbes 400 member Larry Ellison in 2010. Still, it was refitted in 2011 and has more than enough features and amenities—including a spa, beauty salon and specially built glass panels with heat-insulating foil—to make Geffen and his celebrity guests comfortable. In March 2020, Geffen famously posted photos of a sunrise over the yacht on Instagram, telling his followers that he was isolating aboard Rising Sun while sailing in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. (He later deleted the posts after being criticized for being tone-deaf.)

Owner: Frank Fertitta, III.

Size: 308 feet, estimated value: $190 million.

With Viva, Frank Fertitta , who made the bulk of his fortune through mixed martial arts promoter UFC, sought a yacht that was as efficient as possible. The pearl-white ship, delivered in 2021, boasts an “advanced hybrid propulsion system,” or diesel-electric power system, that’s more efficient than the standard yacht. Another Feadship creation, the vessel has a slim, sophisticated look that’s only made clearer by its all-white coloring, with pops of teak on its fold-out beach club deck, poolside and decks.

All The Rest

Owner: dan snyder, owner: 305 feet, estimated value: $186 million, owner: arthur blank, estimated value: $170 million, owner: lorenzo fertitta, size: 285 feet, estimated value: $162 million, owner: dennis washington, size: 312 feet, estimated value: $160 million, owner: eric schmidt, estimated value: $159 million, owner: tilman fertitta, size: 249 feet, estimated value: $150 million.

Owner: Eric Smidt

Size: 384 feet, estimated value: $134 million, owner: roger penske, size: 236 feet, estimated value: $117 million, owner: larry ellison, estimated value: $108 million, size: 332 feet, estimated value: $105 million, owner: marilyn simons, size: 220 feet, estimated value: $100 million, sixth sense, owner: micky arison, size: 242 feet, estimated value: $95 million, oceanxplorer, owner: ray dalio, size: 286 feet, estimated value: $82 million.

Who Owns Motor Yacht Hodor?

Table of Contents:

The Hodor yacht, owned by US billionaire Lorenzo Fertitta, is a 66.2m motor yacht built by Astilleros Armon in Spain. It was delivered to its owner in May 2019, and is designed to blend in among super yachts with its smooth lines and chromed steel. The Hodor yacht is the support vessel for the Lonian Yacht, which was purchased for 160 million in 2018. The Lonian was purchased for 160 million in 2018, while the award-winning 66.2m2172 motor yacht Hodor was built by Astilleros Armon in Spain at their Burela shipyard.

Hodor is the latest member of a growing global fleet of superyacht support vessels, powered by MTU engines of 3328 hp each, giving her a maximum speed of 22.5 knots. The yacht has a beam of 14 meters, a draught of 3.1 meters, and a volume of 1,582 GT. Both yachts are managed by one man, Lorenzo Fertitta, former CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

While superyacht ownership is always shrouded in mystery and layers, several outlets claim that the boat belongs to Lorenzo Fertitta, a renowned American businessman and billionaire. The 87-meter yacht Lonian was followed by its 66-meter support yacht Hodor, described by Boat International magazine as the world’s largest.

Does Mark Zuckerberg own a yacht?

Mark Zuckerberg’s new yacht, Launchpad, is enjoying its summer debut. The megayacht recently stopped in Mallorca and has since ventured further into the Mediterranean. It looks like Zuckerberg may dethrone Jeff Bezos as king of this year’s superyacht season.

While the Amazon founder made waves last year with the debut of his megayacht Koru, Zuckerberg is the name on the yacht world’s lips this season.

By May, the transaction seemed all but confirmed when both the yacht and Zuckerberg made their way to Panama to celebrate his 40th birthday with a fete that included a few spins on his infamous hydrofoil.

Now that summer is here, Zuckerberg has debuted Launchpad —and her support superyacht Wingman — on the biggest stage in the yachting world: the Mediterranean.

What’s happened to Hodor?

Bran’s visions give him new insight into the Night King and the White Walkers. During one of his visions, Bran is shown the darkest secret of the Children: they long ago created the White Walkers from captured First Men. While in a vision of Winterfell, Bran hears the cries of Meera, who is trying to save Bran’s body while the Children hold back the wights. Bran splits his consciousness by remaining in the vision of the past while simultaneously controlling Hodor in the present. The Night King kills the Three-Eyed Raven, while the Children and Bran’s direwolf Summer are eventually killed by the wights. Hodor closes the hideout’s door behind them, keeping the wights inside while Meera escapes with Bran. Meera repeatedly orders Hodor to “hold the door” shut while they flee, which results in the wights tearing him apart. In the vision, Bran becomes overwhelmed by the split consciousness and unintentionally enters the mind of Wylis in the vision, forging a connection between the past and the present. With Bran’s consciousness inside his head, Wylis suffers a seizure after hearing the echoes of Meera’s orders and seeing visions of his own violent death (unknowingly) through Bran, which traumatise him. He begins to repeatedly shout the words “hold the door” while convulsing on the ground, slurring the words together until they become “Hodor.” Bran watches on in shock and sadness, finally knowing the sad truth behind what made Hodor the way he was while also being confronted with the grim reality of his gruesome death.

“The Door” was written by the series’ creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. After the episode aired, in the “Inside the Episode” featurette released by HBO for “The Door”, Benioff and Weiss revealed that the closing scene involving Hodor’s name origin and subsequent death was an idea that was presented to them directly from George R. R. Martin. Benioff stated, “We had this meeting with George Martin where we’re trying to get as much information as possible out of him, and probably the most shocking revelation he had for us was when he told us the origin of Hodor and how that name came about. I just remember Dan and I looking at each other when he said that and just being like, ‘Holy shit.'” Weiss continued, “It was just one of the saddest and most affecting things. Even sitting in a hotel room having someone tell you this was going to happen in the abstract in some way and that ‘hold the door’ was the origin of the name Hodor, we just thought that was a really, really heart-breaking idea.”

In regards to the White Walkers’ origin, Benioff stated “No one’s innocent really in this world, and there was just something really beautifully right about the idea that the great nemesis of mankind were created to protect the Children of the Forest from mankind.” Weiss noted, “The Night King, who’s sort of the embodiment of absolute evil, what you’re watching is the creation of that absolute evil, so the absolute evil isn’t absolute after all.” Benioff also alluded to the many references and foreshadowing throughout the series that preceded the reveal of the Children creating the White Walkers, saying, “There are certain symbols and patterns that recur throughout the show. The first time we saw that was one of the first scenes in the pilot, when Will the ranger sees the Wildling body parts in an odd pattern displayed by the White Walkers. We see it again north of the Wall with the dead horses displayed in a spiral pattern, and then you see it again here and see where these patterns come from, that they’re ancient symbols of the Children of the Forest used in their rituals, and the Children of the Forest created the White Walkers.”

Who did Steven Spielberg sell his yacht to?

The original Seven Seas – whose name is inspired by Spielberg’s seven children – measured 282 feet and boasted an expansive spa, gym, beauty salon, and, of course, movie theatre. But the four-time Academy Award winner sold the ship to Canadian billionaire Barry Zekelman in 2021 for a cool $151m (the ship has since been renamed Man of Steel).

It seems Spielberg has caught the superyacht bug; the new Seven Seas is even bigger and more lavish than her predecessor. So, what do we know about the director’s latest ship? While Oceanco has remained relatively tight-lipped on the project, a few key details have emerged which we’ll dive into here.

The superyacht – previously known as project Y720 – was commissioned back in 2022 for a whopping $250m. She was built by Oceanco – the same shipyard that made Spielberg’s old boat in Alblasserdam, a town in the western Netherlands around 12 miles from Rotterdam. Omani billionaire businessman Mohammed al Barwani bought the luxury shipyard back in 2010 (he also owns Turquoise Yachts in Istanbul).

What yacht does Bill Gates own?

In 2021, Gates took delivery of what would become his starter yacht, Wayfinder. Measuring 224 feet (68.2 meters) in length and built at the cost of “just” $25 million by Astilleros Armon, Wayfinder is a Shadowcat, which means it’s a catamaran designed as a shadow vessel. Until just now, it was unclear exactly what Wayfinder was shadowing since no one seemed to be aware of the existence of a mothership.

That mothership, according to eSysman Superyachts who cites sources inside Feadship, is Project 821, currently under construction at the shipyard. Project 821 is a gigantic vessel with a 2024 delivery date, with a total length on water of 390 feet (119 meters) and an interior volume of over 7,000 GT. Until now, Project 821 has been closely kept under wraps.

Technically, it’s still being kept under wraps, but this seemed to have slipped through the cracks: Gates is selling it.
