Rising Sun is a
motor yacht designed by
Jon Bannenberg, and built in 2004 by
Germany's Lürssen at their Bremen shipyard for
Larry Ellison, CEO of
Oracle Corporation, and last refitted in 2007.
[1] Rising Sun has been owned since 2010 by businessman
David Geffen, who had initially bought a half share of the yacht in late 2006.
[2] A gym, a basketball court, a wine cellar and a movie theater are among the yacht's 82 rooms.[3]
Some of the guests on Geffen's yacht have included Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Oprah Winfrey.[4]
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, Geffen drew backlash for posting on Instagram that he and his 45-member crew were self-isolating in the Grenadines on Rising Sun.[5] [6] [7]
