News about Gabe Newell

A man has died after falling overboard from a multi-million pound superyacht off the coast of Scotland. The 52-year-old man had been on board the Berilda when he fell into the Gare Loch at Rosneath near Helensburgh. A major search and rescue operation was launched and his body was recovered from the water. His death is not being treated as suspicious.

The 258ft luxurious yacht Rocinante took pride of its position in Falmouth marina, making everybody else's boats seem small by comparison. The Rocinante shipyard in Germany built in 2008, before being purchased by billionaire Gabe Newell in 2008. Newell, the man behind the company's first game 'Half-Life' in 1998, is the president of gaming firm Valve, and was estimated to have a net worth of $3.9 billion in 2021. Rocinante was in good company this week, with another billionaire's £40 million superyacht, Game Changer, not far behind.
