The billionaire founder of Revolut is being sued by a luxury ship broker after it accused him of going 'behind its back' to avoid paying commission on a £300million superyacht.

In January, the bank's boss Nik Storonsky purchased the 334-foot vessel, which among its features boasts a 25-foot glass-bottomed infinity pool, a beach club and cryotherapy chamber.

But in a claim filed with the High Court, brokers Cecil Wright & Partners said it was entitled to a 5 per cent fee from the deal, equivalent to around £15million.

The brokerage has alleged an adviser to Storonsky's family office approached them in October 2024 to commission a custom-built yacht.

In 2025, his advisers asked if there was a yacht he could buy in the meantime with Cecil Wright recommending the superyacht, which was still under construction.
