Which Russian billionaire owned the superyacht 'Eclipse'?

The story behind the answer

Roman Abramovich owned the superyacht Eclipse. The vessel became one of the clearest symbols of the Russian billionaire’s extraordinary wealth and was widely associated with him after its delivery in 2010.

Built by the German shipyard Blohm+Voss, Eclipse is about 162.5 metres long and was designed for long-range luxury cruising. Reports about its features have included two swimming pools, multiple helipads, a cinema, and a submarine. Its scale made it one of the world’s largest private yachts when it entered service.

Abramovich is best known internationally as the former owner of Chelsea Football Club and as a major figure in Russian business. The yacht’s legal ownership has sometimes been obscured through corporate structures, and public reporting has continued to describe it as Abramovich’s yacht. That is why other Russian billionaires listed in the options are not the canonical answer.
