The superyacht once known as Lady Ghislaine and was owned by Robert Maxwell, was originally built in 1986 for Emad Khashoggi.
After Khashoggi abandoned the project, it was purchased by Robert, who named it after his daughter, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Emad Khashoggi is:
- Nephew of Adnan Khashoggi, notorious arms dealer.
- Cousin of Dodi Fayed, a film producer killed in a car accident with his romantic partner, Princess Diana.
- Cousin of Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist who was assassinated in Oct 2018.
Among others.
After the death of Robert Maxwell, the yacht was sold to "an Egyptian construction millionaire" and renamed 'Lady Mona K.'
Ultimately, Lady Mona K wouldn't be sold again until 2017.
The buyer? Anna Murdoch.

Anna, who was married to Rupert Murdoch from 1967 to 1999, has since renamed the yacht as 'Dancing Hare.'
