A $75,000,000 superyacht making its maiden voyage to be united with its billionaire owner for the first time has been captured by an amateur photographer in the area.

The boat, lit with the glowing title TOP FIVE II, is a 61m long yacht, only completed in the summer of 2021.

The custom-made yacht is thought to have been passing through Poole on Friday (September 3) on her maiden voyage from the Dutch boat yard where she was made.

Amateur photographer Craig Horrocks, 33, from Poole, spotted the superyacht passing through and knew it was something out of the ordinary.

He said: "I was down Poole Harbour and saw this huge yacht at about 6.30pm on Friday evening so I took a picture of it and zoomed in because it had lights on the side of it.

"That’s where I found out who owned it and how much the yacht was worth. Mega Money!"

Boating experts SuperYachtWorld say the vessel is owned by Terry Pegula.

If Mr Pegula is the owner, the yacht is owned by a man who is on the Forbes Billionaires list with an estimated net worth of $5.7B.

Mr Pegula is known to have made his money out of fracking and currently owns two US national sports teams, the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres.

Craig added: "I 100% knew it would cost a lot - it looked massive and very flash."

It certainly is out-of-the-ordinary. The made-to-order superyacht is built by Dutch ship makers Hakvoort . The firm, which has royal patronage, said TOP FIVE II was created as a bespoke yacht for an experienced owner.

The vessel can carry up to 12 guests and host 19 crew members.

Terrence Pegula Professional sports

Buffalo sabres.

On February 18, 2011, he purchased Hockey Western New York LLC (the holding company that owns the Buffalo Sabres and the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League) from previous owners Tom Golisano, Larry Quinn, and Dan DiPofi for $189 million.

Pegula’s purchase made an immediate positive impact, with players, fans, and alumni invigorated by his investment in the team, the then First Niagara Center, and the building of HarborCenter across the street. Pegula was quoted as saying, “Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres’ reason for existence, will be to win a Stanley Cup.”

Buffalo Bandits

Included in the Sabres purchase was their National Lacrosse League counterpart, the Buffalo Bandits which have won four NLL championships.

Rochester Americans

In May 2011, Pegula began negotiations on behalf of the Sabres to re-purchase the Rochester Americans, which had served as the Sabres’ American Hockey League affiliate from 1979 to 2008 (and had been owned by the Sabres from 1979 to 1996); the deal was completed in late June 2011.

As part of the deal, the Americans had to be split off from its NLL counterpart the Rochester Knighthawks since Pegula owned the Bandits due to ownership rules at the time. Along with the purchase of the Americans came upgrades to the team’s arena, the Blue Cross Arena.

Buffalo Bills

On September 9, 2014, Pegula announced the winning binding bid to purchase the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills, a team that was placed up for sale after the death of the original owner and team founder, Ralph Wilson.

Pegula was a favorite among most local Bills fans and local politicians to buy the team due to his commitment to the Western New York area and local connections.

He competed against future U.S. President Donald Trump and musician Jon Bon Jovi, the latter of whom was backed by principals of the Toronto-based Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for the team. It was reported that the Pegulas made a $1.4 billion bid, all in cash.

On September 17, 2014, the Pegulas were unanimously approved by the NFL’s finance committee and were then scheduled to be presented at the NFL owners’ meeting on October 8, 2014, for final owner approval; the Pegulas received unanimous approval from the league’s owners on October 8 and closed the deal on October 10.

Pegula’s first major order of business was to end the Bills Toronto Series, which he did in an agreement reached on December 3, 2014. Upon the purchase of the Bills, Pegula and his wife Kim introduced One Buffalo, a marketing campaign that has since evolved into a brand used across all of their sports teams and associated products.

Buffalo Beauts

On December 21, 2017, it was announced that Pegula had acquired the Buffalo Beauts of the National Women’s Hockey League. This made the Beauts the first NWHL team not owned by the league, the first professional women’s hockey team in North America owned by the same person that owned the market’s NHL team and got Pegula into women’s hockey.

Rochester Knighthawks

In 2018, Pegula reached an agreement to purchase the intellectual property of the Rochester Knighthawks of the National Lacrosse League in the autumn of 2019. Rochester Sports Group owner Curt Styres orchestrated the sale as he planned on moving his staff and roster to a new Halifax NLL team set to debut in the winter of 2020.

Terrence Pegula Investments

Natural gas.

After working for a time for Getty Oil and Felmont Oil Co., Pegula founded East Resources, a natural gas drilling company, with $7,500 from family and friends. It profited heavily from the discovery of deep layers of natural gas in the Marcellus Formation and the development of the hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) recovery process. Pegula eventually sold Pennsylvania, New York, and Rocky Mountain assets of the company to Royal Dutch Shell for approximately $4.7 billion.

He sold the Ohio and West Virginia assets of the company to American Energy Partners, LP for $1.75 billion in 2014.[20] Pegula also owns Greater Rocky Mountain Regional Oil & Gas in Colorado and Wyoming, and JKLM Energy in Pennsylvania.

Terrence Pegula Real estate

In 2012, he won a bid for the development rights to the Webster Block on Buffalo’s waterfront. The $170 million hockey-themed HarborCenter building, which is anchored by the two rinks, a large parking garage, retail, restaurants, and a hotel, mostly opened in November 2014 with the rinks, restaurants, and parking garage fully completed and opened in August 2015 with the completion and opening of the hotel and retail.

Pegula is also the operator of KeyBank Center and Blue Cross Arena. In 2017, Pegula purchased 79 Perry Street, near KeyBank Center and teamed up with Labatt USA to redevelop the building into a mixed-use facility including a small test brewery called the “Labatt Brew House” and a restaurant called “The Draft Room” as well as Labatt’s U.S. headquarters, Pegula Sports and Entertainment’s headquarters, and residential space.

Terrence Pegula Other investments

Pegula also owns a share of Black River Entertainment, an independent country music label. The label features such acts as Kelsea Ballerini, Kellie Pickler, and Craig Morgan as well as the related Black River Publishing and Sound Stage Studio all under the Black River label based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Also under the Pegula umbrella is Impact Sports Performance, two high-performance athletic training facilities which are based in Boca Raton, Florida, and HarborCenter in Buffalo.

In addition, he owns 716 Food and Sport, a two-floor sports-themed restaurant that serves as the main business tenant of HarborCenter. Through a partnership with Southern Tier Brewing Company, Pegula launched a “One Buffalo” branded craft beer that sells at all Pegula-owned properties and elsewhere in the region.

The One Buffalo brand has also been extended to a flavor of Perry’s Ice Cream (which already licensed Bills and Sabers-themed flavors prior to Pegula’s purchases of the teams) and premium cupcakes, both formulated by Pegula’s wife, a pronounced fan of desserts.

Terrence Pegula Philanthropy

Penn state hockey.

An alumnus of Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), Pegula donated $102 million for the construction of the on-campus Pegula Ice Arena in 2010. As a result, the Penn State Nittany Lions, which had fielded club teams in both men’s and women’s hockey for years, would be able to transition both teams into NCAA Division I starting in the 2012–13 season.

This led to a domino effect across the men’s college hockey landscape. Because six Big Ten universities now had Division I men’s hockey programs (the minimum number of teams required under Big Ten bylaws for official conference sponsorship, and also the minimum required for a conference to be an automatic postseason qualifier), it was announced that Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State would join Penn State in the Big Ten hockey conference starting in the 2013–2014 season.

As a result, the CCHA ceased operations, with most schools (save for the three that joined the Big Ten and Notre Dame) joining the WCHA. Miami University and Western Michigan University, also previously in the CCHA, joined the upstart National Collegiate Hockey Conference along with former WCHA members St. Cloud State, Minnesota-Duluth, Denver, Colorado College, Nebraska-Omaha, and North Dakota.

Ex-CCHA member Notre Dame joined Hockey East, which then recruited UConn from the Atlantic Hockey Association to begin to play in Hockey East in 2014. After the dust settled, the ECAC was the only Division I conference not affected by the major conference realignment.

Because Penn State’s arrival gave the Big Ten only four varsity women’s hockey programs, that conference was unable to add the sport, meaning that the women’s hockey landscape did not undergo the radical changes that occurred in the men’s game. The Penn State women’s team settled in College Hockey America, a league that sponsors only women’s hockey.

Houghton College

The Pegulas donated $12 million to Houghton College in Houghton, New York, of which Kim Pegula is an alumna, to build the Kerr-Pegula Athletic Complex. The facility includes new baseball and softball stadiums and a 115,000-square-foot field house with an eight-lane 200-meter track, five tennis courts, a weight room, a cardiac fitness center, and locker rooms.

The new facility is mainly targeted toward Houghton College intercollegiate athletics, which recently moved up to Division III Athletics and the Empire 8 Conference. It opened on October 4, 2014.

Terrence Pegula Political views

Pegula has been identified as a Republican; he does not speak publicly about his specific political views. Pegula and his wife have made political donations to politicians of both parties, generally to incumbents.

In 2010, Pegula and his wife donated $280,000 to Republican Tom Corbett’s campaign during the Pennsylvania governor’s race. They were the largest contributors to the Pennsylvania Attorney General.

In New York, Pegula and his wife donated $25,000 to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s campaign during the 2014 elections and also donated $12,000 to Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, $2,500 to Senator Chuck Schumer, and $250 to state senator Tim Kennedy, all Democrats.

Pegula expressed support for legalizing ridesharing in upstate New York, the only area where it at the time remained illegal (as of 2017, New York State had only legalized it in New York City), and has announced intent to partner with Uber to provide transportation to Pegula’s sporting events.

Terrence Pegula Donald Trump

You may have noticed that when Donald Trump is involved with something, Donald Trump tries to make that thing all about Donald Trump. Take the sale and subsequent purchase of the Buffalo Bills, for instance.

Trump was one of several bidders who tried to purchase the Bills from the Ralph Wilson estate. However, Trump’s bid came up short of the $1.4 billion bid placed by Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula.

Trump is believed to have bid $1 billion for the team. Bon Jovi’s group reportedly bid more than Trump ($1.05 billion), so it’s not clear how Trump drove up to the price. But if Donald Trump says he did, then Donald Trump did because Donald Trump said so. Anyway, not everyone is like Trump.

Here was the statement released by the Bon Jovi group after Pegula’s bid won: “On behalf of Myself, Larry Tanenbaum, and Edward Rogers, we wish Terry and Kim Pegula all the best as they continue the legacy and tradition of the Buffalo Bills and the Wilson family.”

Terrence Pegula Yacht

Pegula’s new yacht, Top Five II was named after his five children, it is a cruising speed of 14Knots, powered by caterpillar engines, and can host 12 guests and 18 crew members. The yacht was designed by Sinot Yacht Design in 2021 as project YN251.  Prior to owning the new yacht, Pegula had another smaller yacht that was 48 meters Christensen, he sold it and it was later named Mi Amore.

Pegula’s $75 million yacht riles New York taxpayers

Buffalo Bills owner and hydrofracker Terry Pegula is worth more than $5.8 billion and is the proud owner of a new $75 million yacht.

The uncommon luxury has been riling New York taxpayers on social media this week, who learned they would be paying $850 million of the $1.4 billion costs of constructing a new stadium designated for his exclusive use.

That announcement comes the same week that Hochul froze all Seneca Nation bank accounts — gaming and non-gaming — in order to extort more than $560 million of disputed payments related to a 2002 gaming compact and exclusivity rights that were defrauded from the Seneca Nation .

Governor Kathy Hochul has endured public ridicule from both sides of the political aisle since the announcement, though it’s been rumored that Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins may insist that the stadium project is delayed until the next legislative session so that proper public engagement processes can take place.

Stewart-Cousins has said that she was ‘blindsided’ by Hochul on the stadium deal and that she is concerned that Delaware North — the employer of Hochul’s husband and chief competitor of the Seneca Gaming Corporation — will benefit from the deal in flagrant violation of state ethics and anti-corruption laws.

Stewart-Cousins may insist that the $560 million in extorted funds from the Seneca Nation are segregated from the State’s general fund budget into an escrow account until the dispute has been fully resolved by the Department of the Interior .

“It would be unfair and illegal to allow Hochul to spend the money she just extorted in the same budget that she is gifting it to her husband’s employer,” one critic says.  “We need a full JCOPE investigation — at the very least.”
