the wes 7,212 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has lost one of the yachts in his sizeable personal fleet in a game of poker, a Russian newspaper reported on Monday. The popular daily Moskovsky Komsomelets said the oligarch lost the 500,000 dollar (375,000 euro) yacht while playing poker in Barcelona, which he was visiting to watch the London football team he owns, Chelsea, in action. The newspaper did not provide the name of the yacht or name the source of its information. Abramovich’s yacht collection, thought to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, has been dubbed ‘The Roman Navy’ by Britain’s press. The Russian newspaper said his poker habit had become a sore point between him and girlfriend Daria Zhukova and that the billionaire, who made his fortune in Russia’s sell-off of state assets in the 1990s, had instead turned to gambling online.

Steve 10,227 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Abramovich denies losing yacht at poker Reports that Roman Abramovich lost a $500,000 yacht in a game of poker have been strongly denied. "The story is absolutely, completely, entirely false," said Abramovich's spokesman John Mann. Russian daily newspaper Moskovsky Komsomelets reported that the Russian billionaire lost one of the yachts from his sizeable fleet while playing poker in Barcelona last week. Several other Russian newspapers, including Izvestia and Trud, published the story, giving Italian newspaper La Repubblica as their source.
