One year after acquiring it, Bill Gates is putting his superyacht, Breakthrough, on the market. A floating palace, a true gem of innovation powered by hydrogen and biofuel, it is valued at more than 675 million dollars.
As the 2025 yachting season unfolds in the world’s most stunning seas—marked recently by the fire and sinking of the 28.9-meter Astondoa Da Vinci off Formentera, Spain—another luxury vessel is making headlines. It is Breakthrough, owned by billionaire Bill Gates, which is now about to change hands.
Floating luxury
In May 2025, Bill Gates received his superyacht Breakthrough. Yet, just a year after the acquisition, and without ever setting foot on it, the billionaire is already looking to resell his high-end vessel, estimated at 675 million dollars. It will be showcased at the Monaco Yacht Show from September 25 to 27 in hopes of finding a new owner. Rumors suggest that Patrick Dovigi, president of the Canadian environmental services company Green For Life Environmental Inc, might be interested.
At 119 meters long, this floating secondary residence embodies the very essence of luxury at sea. The main aft deck features a glass-bottom pool over 8 meters long, alongside a jacuzzi and a pool club. Six more decks are available, along with seven opening platforms providing direct access to the sea.
