History
Venus was unveiled 28 October 2012 at the Feadship shipyard. The yacht was named for the Roman goddess of love.[2]
The yacht was impounded 21 December 2012 at the Port of Amsterdam following a payment dispute: Starck claimed Jobs' heirs owed him €3 million of his €9 million fee for the project.[3] The dispute was resolved after a few days.[4]
