Roman Abramovich living in exile in Turkey with ex-Chelsea owner keeping 'lower profile than ever' as 2022 sanctions hang over him - with £500m superyacht marooned

Premier League

Manchester City

Chelsea

<p>The European Union and British Government imposed restrictions on Abramovich following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leading to him <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/todd-boehly-completes-takeover-chelsea-abramovich/bltaa21228b2934a376" target="_blank">sanctioning the £2.35 billion ($2.87bn) sale of Chelsea to Todd Boehly</a> and Clearlake Capital. Those funds are said to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/why-billion-roman-abramovich-chelsea-sale-hasnt-been-paid-ukraine-war-victims-explained/bltd65271d22e3218ef" target="_blank">remain untouched in a frozen bank account</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Abramovich is still living a life of luxury, but The Telegraph reports on how his globe-trekking adventures have been seriously reined in. Turkey has become a necessary base for now, with the 58-year-old unable to enjoy the regular Caribbean trips that were once a staple part of his European winter routine.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p><a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/20/inside-roman-abramovich-gilded-cage-chelsea-russia-putin/ " target="_blank"><em>The Telegraph</em></a> claims that Abramovich’s grandest boat, the £500m Eclipse, is moored in “comparatively modest surroundings” on Turkish water. His other vessels are also sat unused after seeing private and professional lives turned upside down.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Abramovich is said to still be worth £7.96 billion ($9.7bn), but he has been forced to set up camp in Turkey amid reports of initially moving into a waterfront property that came with a $40,000-a-month rental bill before basing himself in a sprawling villa that can be found in the upmarket district of Vanikoy on the banks of the Bosporus.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Abramovich had declared “I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person” when severing ties with Chelsea, but that would appear to have become a distant dream for a man no longer able to travel in style while moving whenever and wherever he wants.</p>
