It would be accurate to say that just like superyacht Alfa Nero\u2019s sailing days are behind her, so are ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt\u2019s waiting days<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The billionaire is finally done with waiting for the Oceanco beauty that made legal troubles her best friend.<\/p>\n

Fate remains unchanged for the 269-foot vessel<\/a> abandoned in February 2022 by Russian oligarch Andrew Guryev.<\/p>

Schmidt has backed out of purchasing a superyacht incessantly mired in lawsuits and withdrew his $67.6 million bid.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

According to Bloomberg<\/a>, Antigua and Barbuda\u2019sambassador to the US, Ronald Sanders confirmed the Silicon Valley tycoon withdrew his winning offer made on 16th June 2023 for the luxury vessel several days ago.

Eric Schmidt had been advised by his lawyers against making the payment to Antiguan government for a few days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cSchmidt, because of the legal wrangling, determined that we could not give him clear title of the ship, \u201d Sanders said in a Friday interview. \u201cThat\u2019s not accurate, because the ship belongs to us, it is owned by the government.\u201d Schmidt lawyers and advisers believe otherwise; in their opinion, any property subject to litigation isn\u2019t free and clear.<\/p>

\nThe 267-foot Alfa Nero, complete with a baby grand piano and a swimming pool that turns into a helipad, would be an excellent asset for any billionaire, but that\u2019s not Eric Schmidt, after all.<\/p>
