Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky sued by top luxury yacht broker for not paying 5% commission for €350mn superyacht Nixie.
Cecil Wright alleges that Nik went "behind its back" to avoid paying €17.5M commission.
Storonsky's family office approached the luxury broker in October 2024 to help build a yacht. Cecil Wright claims that it suggested Storonsky buy the 102-metre boat, which was then being built by German superyacht yard Lürssen.
The yacht built by Lürssen features a distinctive 25-foot (≈6 m) semi-suspended glass-bottom infinity pool, a large beach club, and a gym with a cryotherapy chamber.
In January 2026, Storonsky's adviser told Cecil-Wright founder Chris that Storonsky had bought it directly from the seller, Canadian businessman and former ice hockey player Patrick Dovigi.
