Billionaire Ong Beng Seng’s Confidant Bought Sergey Brin’s Yacht

A person from billionaire Ong Beng Seng’s inner circle was behind the purchase of a superyacht previously owned by Google co-founder Sergey Brin, according to people familiar with the matter.

The 73-meter (240 foot) Capricorn was transferred to a new holding company in late October, according to filings reviewed by Bloomberg, which did not disclose the ultimate beneficial owner. The people did not identify, or give further details about the buyer. Earlier that month, the real estate tycoon had been charged in a political scandal that stunned Singapore.
