Harry Potter author JK Rowling forced to cover name of her superyacht
The 290-foot vessel, valued at $150 million, is reported to belong to Rowling and features a pool, movie theater and beach club.
- On Sunday, August 30, a 290-foot superyacht arrived in Marina del Rey, Los Angeles, with its name covered, later identified as belonging to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
- The yacht, named Samsara, arrived with its name obscured, and an unnamed person claimed the name was hidden because it "often attracts protesters," as Rowling has become a central figure in public debates.
- Valued at $150 million, the 89-meter vessel was built by Dutch shipbuilder Oceanco around 2015; originally named Infinity, it features amenities including a circular swimming pool, a movie theater, and a tranquil beach club.
- Rowling purchased the yacht in 2023 from Australian billionaire Brett Blundy, after it was originally commissioned for Los Angeles businessman Eric Smidt, according to marine tracking data.
- Since the docking, Rowling, whose net worth is estimated at $1.2 billion, has not been seen publicly, and the author of the Harry Potter franchise has not posted about her Los Angeles visit.
