The vessel is listed as number 83 in the world rankings for largest yachts and is the sixth largest yacht built by Feadship.
Superyachts are often associated with high-profile people because of their ultra-luxurious nature and high cost.
Jan Koum has a net worth of €15.32 billion ($16.3 billion), which is attributed to the co-founding of WhatsApp. In 2014, Facebook purchased one of the world’s most popular apps for €20.68 billion ($22 billion) in cash and stock.
Four years later, the billionaire resigned as CEO of WhatsApp and stepped down from Facebook’s board.
