The superyacht Z, owned by Ukrainia's richest man the multimillionaire Kostyantin Zhevago is currently in Palma.

The yacht is moored just a few metres from the mega yacht Tango, owned by the Russian Viktor Vekselberg, which was recently seized by the FBI.

Kostyantin Zhevago, born in Russia in 1974, was named Europe's youngest billionaire by Forbes. He is the CEO and majority shareholder of Ferrexpo, a mineral extraction company, and is worth around $1.8 billion.

He lives in a luxurious house in Kyiv, Ukraine, and is known to donate large sums of money to charities in his home country. It is unknown whether Kostyantin Zhevago, who was a member of Ukraine's parliament from 1998 to 2019, will travel to Palma or whether he is still wanted for questioning over alleged money laundering and embezzlement at his former bank, Finance & Credit, which failed in 2015.
