A prominent Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin has docked his 500-foot yacht in the Port of Palm Beach, just days before President Trump makes his way to Mar-a-Lago.

Roman Abramovich docked the yacht, which is estimated to be worth between $400 and $500 million, at the port on Friday afternoon, and is expected to stay until Dec. 5, according to The Palm Beach Post.

Abramovich's arrival comes days before Trump is set to arrive at his Florida resort, dubbed the "winter White House," for the Thanksgiving holiday. There have not been reports or signs that the two are meeting.

The Russian owner of that soccer team is very much a capitalist.

The biased article makes it sound like he is a Putin stooge doing the communist bidding. More like the other way around. Ambromavich is his own man.

I have heard that these wealthy rent out their big yachts to other wealthy without yachts. You would have to be quite rich to rent them even for a week! The only Russians on board, maybe the crew.

Why do people on FR keep repeating the falsehood that Russia is still Communist? Aside from babushkas nostalgic for the days of waiting in line for bread, no one is Communist here anymore, and the government is certainly not...
