Drone Video: Jaguars owner Shad Khan parks new 400-foot megayacht in downtown Jacksonville

The yacht is estimated to be worth $360 million

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – While it continues to be an abysmal season for the Jacksonville Jaguars football team, the team’s owner is still living the good life.

Jacksonville residents are getting a close-up look at just how good it is to be a billionaire after Shad Khan, who is worth an estimated $13.6 billion, parked his brand-new “Kismet” megayacht downtown next to the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront this week.

The megayacht, which is longer than a football field at 133 yards (400 feet), charters for $3 million per week and features six decks, three pools, a gym, a helicopter pad and can host 12 guests and 37 crew members, according to Boat International.

The yacht is estimated to be worth $360 million with an annual running cost of around $30 million, according to SuperYachtFan.com.

Khan reportedly sold the previous version of Kismet, which was just 312 feet, to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in 2023. It was put on the market for $199 million.
