Redskins owner Dan Snyder has added another jewel to his crown: The Lady Anne, a 224-foot “superyacht†purchased for the bargain price of $70 million, give or take a few million.
The sale is big news in the luxury yacht market: The Lady Anne is one of the 100 largest yachts in the world, according to Power & Motoryacht magazine, and one of the most beautiful. Big news for Washington, too: Despite all the multimillionaires in the nation’s capital, few have yachts — and none with the extravagant luxury of the Lady Anne.
The Lady Anne “epitomizes opulent modern living,†boasts Burgess Yachts, the London-based company that offers charters on the boat, on its Web site. “A magnificent spiralling five-storey staircase leads you to the spacious decks, be it the comfort of the main salon, the fabulously appointed theatre room or the light and airy upper salon for a pre-dinner cocktail.†The master suite has “rare, pure white triple A-grade Thassos marble.†The yacht features a library, gym and six staterooms that can accommodate 16 people (not counting the crew of 18).
Snyder’s spokesman, Tony Wyllie, said Snyder bought the Lady Anne with a group of investors but did not disclose the partners’ names. The sellers live in Palm Beach, Fla., so it’s a good guess that Dwight Schar — Snyder’s close friend, a minority owner in the Redskins and a Palm Beach resident — might be involved in the deal.
