PETALING JAYA: Fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho's former superyacht Equanimity is on sale once again.
The superyacht which has been renamed Tranquility was purchased by Genting Malaysia Bhd for US$126mil (RM514.14mil) in April.
The vessel made headlines in August after reports that model and socialite Kylie Jenner rented it to celebrate her 22nd birthday.
Since then, Business Insider reported that Tranquility is now for sale with an asking price of USD 200 mil (RM837 mil), according to yachting company Camper & Nicholsons (C&N).
A check by The Star on C&N's website confirms that the yacht is on sale and that it can also be rented for € 1,100,000 (RM5.1 mil) per week.
C&N wrote in its testimony section that Tranquility is 'a trailblazing yacht offering unparalleled levels of luxury for a large number of guests. This is what the market has been waiting for."
It is unclear when Genting decided to put the superyacht on sale.
The Equanimity is one of many luxury items seized by the government as part of its probe into money laundering in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal.
The 91.5m-long superyacht is known to have a Turkish bath, swimming pool and a helicopter landing pad.
Last February, the Equanimity was seized off the coast of Bali by Indonesia at the request of US authorities as part of a probe into the 1MDB scandal.
The Indonesian government then handed over the vessel to Malaysia in August of the same year.
After being grounded for about 16 months, Tranquility made its first voyage on June 5 from the Loyang offshore base in Singapore and arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka on June 8.- Star
