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 paid "resistance" trolls on Twitter are making this blockbuster story trend today.

Of course the yacht is docked in Riviera Beach which is in Palm Beach county, but not in West Palm Beach where Mar a Lago is.

Still, I'm certain no rich people ever set foot in Martha's Vineyard the same times Obama was there.

Maybe he is going to bribe Trump by offering him a ride on his boat.

I was docked next to this incredible vessel in Papeete, Tahiti and let’s put it this way, it’s an incredible toy right out of a 007 movie.

It’s November...
There are Super-Yachts all over South Florida right now, everywhere they can find the space to put them.

Just like every year.

Is there any evidence that Abramovich is onboard? He keeps the yacht in the Caribbean in the winter. I saw it at St. Maartin once. That doesn’t mean he’s on it.

A rich Russian parks his yacht in the state of Florida in late autumn - why that is just unnatural! Why would a rich Russian not be back in Moscow at this time of year?

I mean, it is perfectly natural for an aging ex-president of dubious health to play golf in Phoenix in the summer, but really, a rich Russian parking his yacht in Florida at this time of year?? That is suspicious.

Fortunately he reserved 4 additional “slips” so I was far enough away not to , “God forbid”, ding his billion dollar play toy.

Wow, someone making such a low key and subtle entry must have hoped to conduct some super secret spy business with the President without anyone noticing he was there.

If you want to see where all of the worlds large yachts are, and where they are heading — check out this yacht-tracker site:

http://megayachtglobal.blogspot.ca/p/yacht-tracking.html

It’s actually quite interesting — especially if you happen to live in a port city.

Turns out that yacht owners like to travel. Who knew?
