Joe Lewis, owner of Tottenham, utilized his $250 million superyacht Aviva to get himself out of a jam. The billionaire had this ship 279 feet long constructed just so he could play padel tennis on board.

The 86-year-old British billionaire and owner of the soccer team Tottenham Hotspur, Joe Lewis, has found himself in rough seas due to insider trading charges. Fortunately, his $250 million superyacht, Aviva, came to his (financial) aid. The US indictment against the entrepreneur alleged that he had shared confidential information about the stock market with intimate partners, acquaintances, assistants, and even the pilots of his private plane. The octogenarian posted bail in the amount of $300 million using his 323-foot superyacht and personal jet.

International travel will be restricted, and the businessman will have to keep the FBI apprised of his yacht’s whereabouts. Over fifteen accusations of securities fraud have been filed against the Tottenham owner. Like Roman Abramovich, the owner of a soccer club could meet a similar fate if this trend continues. However, the Premier League may not be able to force Lewis to sell Tottenham because his family trust holds 85 percent of the club’s shares.

The businessman’s attorneys vigorously refuted the claims, and he now has a net worth of $6.4 billion. Defense counsel David Zornow said, “The government has made an egregious error in judgment in charging Mr. Lewis, an 86-year-old man of impeccable integrity and prodigious accomplishment.” “Mr. Lewis has come to the United States voluntarily to answer these ill-conceived charges, and we will defend him vigorously in court.”

The spectacular yacht Aviva -Abeking’s Aviva, at the time of delivery in 2017, was the 46th largest luxury vessel in the world. Three years after the initial briefing, the 323-foot Aviva was launched. “Build a big yacht around a padel tennis court was the main brief, I guess,” said the yard’s project manager Andreas Hering. Some believe the self-made billionaire makes his boat in the Bahamas his primary residence and workplace. That’s why there are 164 feet of owner’s closet space in the master suite and other exquisite touches throughout the house.

The boat, created by Reymond Langton, is tailored to the needs of the millionaire. The lower deck features the world’s first padel tennis court, a high-intensity combination of squash and tennis played on a court with ceilings 22 feet in height so that Lewis can keep up with his daily habit of playing the sport. The Aviva yacht has many high-end features, including a spa, a gym, a pool, and a beach club.

There is a hidden movie theater around the corner from here. The family salon on the upper deck features leather-covered walls, spacious balconies, and extra cushy armchairs to ensure that everyone in the family has a pleasant day. A gaming table and a sculptural Bogányi piano serve as the room’s focal points. The ship’s walls are adorned with works by renowned artists such as Degas, Lucian Freud, Klimt, Modigliani, Matisse, and Picasso.

The absence of a large dining room on Aviva draws attention; in its place are a number of smaller eateries, including two art-filled bistros. The piano salon is nice, but the owner’s suite is where the yacht really shines. On the upper level, there is a suite with a huge private bathroom, a sitting area, and a work desk. The private spa right behind the cottage includes a single piece of Corian for the bathtub.

The boat’s interior features a mishmash of materials, including leather and lacquer, in contrast to its wooden competitors. Aviva has room for 16 passengers and 35 crew members. With her dual diesel-electric engines, she can reach speeds of up to 20 knots.

Joe Lewis, a billionaire with the moniker “The Boxer,”It’s no easy task to amass a fortune of almost $6 billion. The 86-year-old tycoon has plenty of guts and tenacity to pull it out. The London-born Jew made his money as a currency trader in the 1980s, giving him the nickname “The Boxer.” As the current owner of Tottenham Hotspur, the English soccer team, he is now a household name in the fields of real estate, art, and sports. He also established the Tavistock Group, a conglomerate with investments in over 200 companies across the globe.

The entrepreneur built a golfing town in the Bahamas and named it Albany. Lewis has an impressive art collection that is well-received. The collection on the Aviva Yacht is worth over a billion dollars and includes works by such artists as Picasso, Matisse, Lucian Freud, and Henry Moore.
