Laurene Powell Jobs' $120 million super-yacht in minor collision with Mexican billionaire's yacht

Billionaire Laurene Powell Jobs’ super-yacht, the Venus, was involved in a minor collision with another mega-yacht, the Lady Moura, owned by Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego.

The incident took place on July 22nd in Italy, with both yachts, each valued at over $120 million, reportedly anchored at the time.

A source close to the matter informed Page Six that the accident occurred while both yachts were stationary.

As reported by Page Six source, “The Venus came into contact with the Lady Moura — which was also anchored,” adding that on Jobs’ boat, “No family was on board, only crew.”

The insider said the accident occured when, “The wind changed very suddenly, picking up from a breeze to 55 knots over the course of a few minutes.”

The source said, “Neither boat ‘dragged anchor,’” but alleged that the Lady Moura was, “on a chain double the length [to be] expected in the depth of water they were in… Both captains were in discussion immediately following the incident about minor repairs needed.”

Boat International reports that Pliego's team documented the incident, and the video of the maritime collision is available on Instagram.

The outlet reported that the billionaire could be heard saying in Spanish, “I would like to know what the captain and crew were doing that they didn’t see a yacht the size of mine in front of me. Good thing nothing but a scratch happened, but it’s a big scratch that’s going to [cost] a lot to fix.”

The 256-foot Venus was specially built for Steve Jobs and designed by Philippe Starck. However, Jobs never had the opportunity to use the yacht before he passed away in 2011, so it was inherited by his widow.

The Lady Moura, measuring 344 feet, was formerly owned by a Saudi businessman. It originally cost $200 million but was reportedly purchased by Pliego, the third richest person in Mexico, for $125 million.
