Last week we told you that the yacht Venus, built for the late Steve Jobs, was detained by the Dutch authorities at the request of Philippe Starck, a French designer who claims that Jobs' family must pay him 3 million dollars for the design of the vessel. Starck would have concluded a verbal agreement with Jobs to develop the design of the yacht, they would not have agreed on an amount, but he would have received 9 million euros, 3 of which had not been paid at the time of the yacht's retention- by the authorities.
In just a few days, the lawyers who represent the Jobs family's wealth concluded an agreement with Phillipe Starck's lawyers, a certain amount of money was deposited in an account as a guarantee for the payment and the yacht was released. Now the yacht will probably arrive in the USA where it will be admired by Americans, and the outstanding amounts will be paid to the designer considering that the Jobs family's wealth is several billion dollars.
