Paul Allen's former 414-foot superyacht is for sale for 295 million euros, or about $325 million, yacht brokerage Burgess told Business Insider.
The Lürssen-built yacht, Octopus, has eight decks, an elevator, a cinema, two helipads, and a glass-bottomed underwater observation lounge.
The late Microsoft cofounder was known to throw lavish themed parties on board that were attended by A-listers including George Lucas, Mick Jagger, Karlie Kloss, and Chloe Sevigny.
A superyacht that belonged to late Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen has hit the market for 295 million euros, or about $325 million, yacht brokerage Burgess told Business Insider.
The 414-foot yacht, Octopus, has eight decks, an elevator, a cinema, two helipads, and a glass-bottomed underwater observation lounge. Allen reportedly paid about $200 million to have the superyacht built by Lürssen. It was officially launched in 2003.
Allen was known for hosting star-studded parties on his yacht during the Cannes International Film Festival in France. Guests have reportedly included George Lucas, Mick Jagger, Karlie Kloss, and Chloe Sevigny.
Guests reportedly included "Rolling Stones" frontman Mick Jagger, model Karlie Kloss, and Hollywood A-listers George Lucas, Mischa Barton, John C. Reilly, and Chloe Sevigny.
At the Bollywood-themed party in 2015, dancers performed musical dance numbers for the guests.
For the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" party the next year, the yacht was transformed into an enchanted garden.
Guests were given flower crowns and the vessel was decked out with floral arrangements and illuminated trees.
While performers were always brought on board, Allen was known to get onstage himself and rock out to some Led Zeppelin.
Allen's $325 million superyacht is among several sizable assets that have been put up for sale by the late billionaire's estate since his death.
