After more than a year, Ma Yun went abroad for the first time, appeared in mallorca, a famous tourist resort in Spain, and drove a superyacht worth 1.2 billion yuan under his name, which aroused widespread concern in Chinese and foreign media.
The Spanish local media "Mallorca Daily" reported that Jack Ma, a Chinese billionaire and founder of Alibaba Group, returned to Mallorca aboard his superyacht Zen. On Tuesday, the yacht appeared off the coast of Calvia.
Ma was photographed playing golf in Mallorca, and his visit to the island has attracted a great deal of attention as it is his first trip abroad since he "retired" in 2020. The Mallorca Daily mentioned in the report that Ma Yun had previously criticized China's financial control system.
The Mallorca Daily also quoted The Hong Kong-based, Alibaba-owned South China Morning Post as reporting that Ma visited the Balearic Islands in the summer as part of a "visit to Spain's agricultural regions and businesses." It is obvious that the vacation is the purpose of Ma Yun's trip abroad, and the investigation of agriculture is only a incidental part.
Ma Yun appeared in Mallorca this time, and his superyacht "Zen" attracted a considerable amount of attention and became the focus of media attention.
According to previous reports by the Spanish media, the "Zen" private yacht is a superyacht customized by Ma Yun to the Dutch shipyard, which took 4 years to build, 88.38 meters long, can receive 16 tourists, but has 25 crew services, very luxurious, its total value of more than 200 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 1.2 billion yuan, the annual berthing and maintenance costs need more than 100 million yuan.
For the two major events of living and traveling, Ma Yun has been spending a lot of money. In terms of accommodation, Ma Yun previously purchased a mid-levels mansion at 22 Baijia Road, Victoria Peak, Hong Kong, worth more than 1.5 billion yuan. After retiring, Ma Yun also purchased a 113-square-kilometer Brandon Natural Park in New York, spending more than 150 million yuan. Moreover, because of his sudden interest in winemaking for a while, Ma Yun also bought three major wineries in France, a wine country, namely Château Sals, Château Pechen and Château Gerry.
In fact, Ma Yun has purchased properties for permanent residence or vacation in Hangzhou, Hainan, Dalian, Shanghai, Hong Kong and other cities, in addition to hong Kong's mid-levels mansions, villas in Hangzhou and Hainan are also worth more than 100 million yuan.
In terms of travel, Ma Yun's configuration is also quite luxurious. In addition to the $1.2 billion superyacht on this trip to Mallorca, the flight to Spain is also made with a private jet, a Gulfstream G550, a custom price expected to exceed $300 million, and a more well-known Maybach 62s for daily use, worth more than $16 million.
Although Ma Yun has publicly claimed that he is not interested in money, it is clear that Ma Yun is quite good at spending money. Of course, with the reduction of Ali's shares and the disappearance from the list of individual shareholders disclosed in Ali's financial report, Ma Yun's current wealth situation has become a mystery.
However, for ordinary people, whether they hold it or have spent it, it is undoubtedly an astronomical number.
