Legendary music band U2’s frontman, Bono, is known for his philanthropic endeavors and iconic music career. He has always been a man of taste and sophistication. Unsurprisingly, his choice of a luxury superyacht, known as Kingdom Come, reflects his penchant for the finer things in life. This magnificent vessel, now known as Kingdom Come, is a testament to the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, unparalleled comfort, and exquisite design.
With his staggering $700 Million net worth, Bono has got himself a superyacht that boasts cutting-edge technology and world-class amenities only matched by a few.
Beautifully Executed Vision Of Codecasa
Cyan or Kingdom Come's journey began with the vision of renowned Italian shipyard Codecasa, which designed and built this 140-foot/ 49 Meter long superyacht in 1997 as per Luxury Yachts. Giovanni Battista founded the company Codecasa in 1825, and its state-of-the-art shipyard is located in Viareggio, Italy. Known for their expertise in crafting luxurious and technologically advanced vessels, Codecasa brought their A-game when creating Kingdom Come which can cut the water at a top speed of 19 Knots.
Kingdom Come was previously named Diana II and Nara by her previous owners. Bono purchased the yacht in 2008 for a whopping $11.5 Million, as per Money INC, after falling in love when they rented it out the previous summer. Bono renamed the yacht Kingdom Come and, along with his wife, made extensive customizations adding up world-class amenities and painting some of the interior blue to make it the perfect boat for their Mediterranean retreats. Kingdom Come has become a symbol of Bono’s lavish lifestyle and love for the open seas.
