But now the motorized boat of 28 meters long is for sale. On this sales website are several pictures of the interior. The Alpa IV can accommodate 12 guests, 8 of which can stay overnight. 4 crew members are required to operate the boat.
The Alpa IV has been for sale online for a week, but there are rumors that the yacht has been in the shop window for some time. And that for more than 2.6 million euros less than the purchase price, because our former royal couple bought the Alpa IV for 4.6 million euros at the time. That sale has everything to do with the wealth of the former king.
Ever since Albert II passed the torch to his son, King Philippe in 2013, he and Paola have received a generous 900,000 euros each year. Insufficient, in the opinion of the former monarch, because it is a lot less than the 1.4 million euros per year that was originally promised to him.
Despite protests, that amount has remained unchanged to date. The sale of a yacht, which is not cheap to use and maintain, brings in considerable money. The Palace will not comment on private matters, according to VTM Nieuws.
