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]
Diane Sawyer, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen are just a few of the talent to grace the 454-foot deck of Geffen's "Rising Sun" (which also reportedly has a basketball court, by the way)
45 crew members
