Billionaire Liverpool FC owner John W. Henry’s superyacht spotted in Inner Moray Firth east of Kessock Bridge near Inverness
The billionaire owner of one of the world’s biggest football clubs is continuing a surprise Highland visit after his superyacht headed west and moored in the waters of the Inner Moray Firth not far from the Kessock Bridge.
American John W. Henry, who is estimated to be worth $6bn and is the owner of Liverpool FC, first surprised residents in Moray yesterday after he appeared in Lossiemouth at around 2pm.
During that stop he was presented with a Lossiemouth football shirt by the north junior club’s chairman, local garage doors businessman Alex Lauriston who was thrilled to meet the billionaire and his family.
Mr Henry also told onlookers that he had enjoyed his Moray visit and had been given a warm welcome by local people.
His $90m superyacht, the 217ft long Elysian which contains a swimming pool and helicopter landing pad, later set sail westwards, and at the time of writing was sat idle in waters south-east of Kilmuir on the Black Isle.
It continues the vessel’s visit to the north, with the same yacht also spotted docked in Aberdeen earlier this week - although Mr Henry was not seen during its stop in the Granite City as he was away watching Liverpool’s 2-0 win at home against Brentford in the English Premier League.
The football club is just one of several major sporting names owner by Mr Henry, who has owned Liverpool FC since 2010 and also counts the Boston Red Sox baseball team and ice hockey giants Pittsburgh Penguins among his assets.
