Mikheyev's private yacht, the Lady Anastasia, is improperly valued at {{Currency|140 million}} as of March 2022. The yacht's Ukrainian chief engineer, Taras Ostapchuk, had tried to sink the yacht on 26 February 2022 while it was docked at Port Adriano in Mallorca, Spain. Ostapchuk opened valves that were connected to the ship's hulls and called for the other three Ukrainian crew members to flee. However, the yacht sinking was not successful as port workers arrived to pump water out of the yacht, and Ostapchuk was then arrested.{{cite web |last1=Ortega |first1=Bob |last2=Goodman |first2=Al |last3=Tolan |first3=Casey |last4=Devine |first4=Curt |last5=Winter |first5=Jeff |title=Lady Anastasia's chief engineer decided to sink the yacht: 'I tried to sink the boat as a political protest' |website=CNN |date=2022-03-24 |url=https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/24/business/ukrainian-crew-member-sabotaged-russian-oligarch-linked-yacht-invs/index.html |access-date=2022-03-25}} On 15 March 2022, Spain provisionally immobilized the Lady Anastasia.{{Cite news |last= |date=2022-03-15 |title=Spain detains yacht linked to Russian oligarch Mikheyev, police source says |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/spain-detains-yacht-linked-russian-oligarch-mikheyev-police-source-says-2022-03-15/ |access-date=2022-03-15}}
