Forbes magazine found out which yachts belong to the co-owner of bankrupt Vneshprombank, Georgy Bedzhamov.

Bedjamov owns three yachts: 35-meter Ester I, 51-meter Ester II and 66-meter Ester III.

All the banker's boats are named after his daughter Ester.

The jewel of Bedjamov's flotilla is the megayacht Ester III, built at the Lurssen shipyard in 2014. Espen Oeino designed the exterior of the displacement vessel in a steel hull with aluminum superstructure and Reymond Langton Design designed the interiors.

She can comfortably accommodate 12 guests and 17 crew in 6 staterooms. The yacht has a helipad, a gym and a spa area with massage room, sauna and steam room. The main deck features a large infinity pool with a waterfall that spills out onto the swim platform below.

The two MTU 12V 4000 M63 diesel engines each deliver 2011 hp. S paired to twin propellers, the Ester III can reach 15 knots. At 12 knots, she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles. Ester III is priced at $72.6 million.

The smaller yacht in Georgi Bedjamov's garage, a 51-meter Ester II from Codecasa Yachts, is currently for sale for $15.8 million. As for the smallest vessel of the Russian businessman, 35-meter Ester I from Falcon Shipyard, its price is not reported. The Superyachtfun portal writes that Bedjamov may have already sold the yacht, which was built in 2007.

Georgy Bedzhamov disappeared after the arrest of the head of Vneshprombank. The court gave investigators permission to arrest the businessman in absentia on charges of fraud. According to Forbes, Bedjamov is in Monaco and may seek political asylum in one of the European countries. According to a tracker on the Marine Traffic website, Bedjamov's yacht Ester III is indeed docked at the Hercules port in Monte Carlo.
