  "summary": "Revolut cofounder and CEO Nik Storonsky is facing a lawsuit from a luxury yacht broker, Cecil Wright & Partners, who claims the billionaire avoided paying a 5% commission on a €350m superyacht. According to court documents, the broker approached Storonsky's family office in October 2024 about building a yacht, but the luxury vessel with an infinity pool and gym was sold directly to Storonsky in January 2025. The brokerage is seeking reimbursement for the commission, which the family office claims is \"without merit and will be defended.\" Sifted reached out to Revolut and Cecil Wright & Partners for comment.",
