Steve Jobs' $132M Yacht 'Venus' Released From The Impound
Steve Jobs' Yacht Row Settled With Payout -- SKY News

Steve Jobs' yacht is free to set sail after the late Apple co-founder's estate paid a deposit to resolve a dispute with the designer.

Mr Starck said he was to be paid a fixed sum of £7m, while lawyers for Mr Jobs' estate said he was to be paid a percentage of the project's cost - equal to £5m.
