RoMa: A Billionaire’s Yacht with a Tumultuous Legacy
The iconic 62-meter RoMa—a superyacht with a story as striking as its design. Once the floating palace of Austrian billionaire René Benko, RoMa was quietly sold in 2024 for €25 million—well below its original price—as part of the fallout from Benko’s collapsing real estate empire.
Built by Viareggio Superyachts and designed by the legendary Espen Øino, RoMa still graces the waters as a luxury charter vessel, with a starting rate of €345,000 per week.
I've added this series to my archive. For collectors of visual stories from the edges of wealth, power, and spectacle… this one fits right in.
