[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] The interior of an ultra-luxurious yacht estimated to be owned by Russian President Vladimir Putin, valued at around 800 billion won, has been revealed.

On the 23rd (local time), foreign media such as the UK’s The Sun and the New York Post reported photos of the interior of the six-story mega yacht "Scheherazade," docked at a port in the Carrara region of western Italy. The yacht, known to be owned by President Putin, is said to be worth 500 million pounds (approximately 800 billion won).

An anonymous worker who participated in the yacht’s construction told The Sun in an interview, "Every surface inside the yacht is made of marble or gold," adding, "The yacht has a swimming pool, spa, sauna, theater, banquet hall, gym, jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), massage room, beauty salon, nail shop, and a football lounge, as well as two helicopter landing pads."

He continued, "There is even a hospital inside the yacht, it’s like a small city," and said, "The average salary of Russians is 5,000 pounds (about 8 million won). It’s hard to make a living with that money, so the price of this yacht is an unimaginable amount."

The media added that the bed frames in the luxury bedrooms, door handles, shower heads in the bathrooms, toilet seats, faucets, and toilet paper holders are all gold-plated.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Corruption Foundation, established by Alexei Navalny, an opposition figure and political rival of President Putin, claimed that the real owner of this yacht is President Putin.

The foundation stated, "After obtaining the yacht’s crew list and tracking phone numbers and financial data, we found that about ten of Putin’s personal bodyguards and aides have been regularly managing this yacht," adding, "Putin does not hold assets under his real name. Since evidence has been found that the Scheherazade yacht is owned by Putin, it must be seized immediately."

As circumstances revealing that the yacht belongs to President Putin have emerged, the possibility of seizure by Italian authorities has increased.
