David Geffen, a billionaire and entertainment mogul, has recently purchased the 454-foot yacht Rising Sun in Maine. The yacht, which was originally built in 2004 for Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation, is known for its sheer opulence and grandeur. Geffen bought half of the share of the yacht in 2007 and decided to buy it in full in 2010. The yacht was originally designed by Jon Bannenberg and built by Germany’s Lürssen at their Bremen shipyard.
Geffen famously shuns interviews, so his Instagram account, launched in 2016, offers the only window into his yacht. The yacht was originally built for American business magnate Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle Corporation. However, Ellison later sold a significant portion of the yacht, representing just a fraction of Geffen’s net worth.
Geffen has been self-isolating on his yacht in the Caribbean during the coronavirus pandemic, spending almost every year for Christmas. The yacht also features a gym, wine cellar, spa, movie theater, and can accommodate up to 50 guests. In 2020, billionaire superyacht owners like David Geffen were criticized for hiding away with their yachts.
In summary, David Geffen’s Rising Sun yacht, valued at $400 million, showcases the height of luxury possible on a seafaring vessel. The yacht is located near St Barth, New York, and is part of the Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s collection of superyachts.
