WhatsApp co-founder, Jan Koum, is currently really enjoying his hard work after leaving his company. The man with a wealth of USD 10 billion is traveling with luxury ships in St Barts, an island in the Caribbean region.
Apparently towards the end of 2021, there are a lot of rich people traveling, partying and having fun there. There's Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, to the owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich.
Jan Koum was reportedly there with his girlfriend, model Evelina Mambetova. He brought a super luxury yacht called Moonrise which just launched last year and the price is estimated at USD 220 million.
As quoted by us from the Daily Mail, Friday (7/1/2022) the luxurious rooms can accommodate up to 16 guests with views of the ocean, along with 32 crew.
There is a helipad, a beach club, a game room with complete facilities and an interior designed by the famous French designer, Remi Tessier. Not only that, Jan Koum also brought a second cruise ship that became a support, his name was Power Play.
Power Play is smaller in size than Moonrise because it is designed as a support ship, but still has luxurious facilities. It carries a helicopter and has 3 rooms for 6 guests and accommodation for 10 crew.
Koum left Facebook in 2018. "I take time off to do things I enjoy outside of technology, such as collecting rare Porsches, fiddling with cars and playing frisbee. And I will still cheer for WhatsApp, from the outside," reads his farewell message. .
Since retiring, Koum seems to be in isolation and rarely speaks to the media. His figure is rarely caught on camera, only a few news about his activities appear, especially when it comes to buying a house or a luxury car.
For example, at the end of 2020 Koum bought a super-luxury house for USD 125 million in cash. The house is located in the upscale area of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Jan Koum's mansions are known to be scattered everywhere. His primary residence is at Atherton in Silicon Valley, where his house costs nearly $100 million.
