James Simons left behind a legacy in mathematics, finance and philanthropy, as well as a massive personal fortune and a yacht, when he passed away at age 86 last week.

The billionaire, who founded the extremely successful hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, built up a personal fortune worth $31.4 billion over the course of his lifetime and used billions of that money for charity, according to Forbes . His charitable organization, the Simons Foundation that he co-founded with wife Marilyn, provides funding for science, education, autism and other areas.

At one point in the 2000s, Simons reportedly used some of his wealth to acquire a yacht for himself. Outlets like the BBC and CNN have identified him over the years as the owner of the Feadship-built Archimedes.

The yacht, built in 2008, is about 222 feet long and can sail at speeds of up to 16 knots, per BOAT International. In 2018, it received a refit. 

The Plymouth Marine Laboratory said in mid-February that Simons and his wife were "support[ing] marine research in some of the most remote and least studied parts of the ocean" with the Archimedes. Scientists affixed a light-measuring instrument to the vessel to help with their research, according to the organization.

Motor Yacht

In 2008, Feadship launched the stylish and understated superyacht Archimedes. This 67.75 metre (222’3”) motor yacht was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and John Munford Designs and features proven high-end technologies that bring her from idyllic luxury yacht to global cruiser.

Rarely seen in the traditional superyacht destinations, her ice-strengthened Corinthian blue hull is often touring the world’s most far-flung locations. The desire to cruise the furthest reaches of the world introduced created a number of exterior areas for al fresco dining with a view.

On the large sundeck, guests can make the most of their time on board with a masterfully crafted marble mosaic Jacuzzi, bar and entertainment area, enclosed gym and lots of dining and social areas as you cruise the globe. The panoramic views are uninterrupted by tenders and toys on deck due to dedicated wells, lifts and large garage.

Her beam of 12 metres provides a large amount of space on board for a relaxed, yet sophisticated interior by John Munford Design. Battling the cavernous space on board, the interior remains welcoming with comfortable furniture and a grand piano in the main lounge. Archimedes is the first Feadship to feature a wood burning fireplace, reflecting the relaxed, stately nature of being on board.

The full-beam master bedroom is divided into various relaxation areas, consisting of large central bed and a lady’s writing desk which was handmade for the owner’s wife. The bathrooms draw inspiration from the titular Greek god and showcases artisan mosaic marble floors in all six ensuite staterooms, hosting space for eight guests on board.

Everything we know about the owner of £75m superyacht in Bristol harbour

The owner was once named the ‘world’s smartest billionaire’ - and now his superyacht is in Bristol

• 20:05, 5 AUG 2018

We have more newsletters

A multi-million pound superyacht docked in Bristol over the weekend - much to the excitement and intrigue of the crowd gathered to watch it arrive.

Everybody who witnessed the vessel dock beside M-Shed on Sunday afternoon (August 5) had the same burning question in mind - who owns it?

It is believed the superyacht - which is worth an estimated £76million - is owned by US billionaire James ‘Jim’ Simons.

Here is a rundown of everything we know about Mr Simons...

He’s worth £16billion

Simons is 80-years-old, was born in Massachusetts, America, and previously worked as a maths teacher and Cold War code breaker.

According to Forbes, he is worth an estimated £16million and is the founder of New York City-based hedge fund firm Renaissance Technologies.

Simons founded the firm in 1982 and remained at the head of the company before announcing his retirement in January 2010.

Despite formally stepping down from his duties, Simons continues to hold the position of non-executive chairman.

Who is James 'Jim' Simons?

• James Simons is the founder of Renaissance Technologies, a legendary quantitative hedge fund firm that manages $50 billion.
• He founded Renaissance Technologies in 1982 and retired in 2010, but he still plays a role at Renaissance and benefits from its funds.
• Renaissance Technologies is famous for its Medallion Fund, a black box strategy that is now only open to Renaissance's owners and employees.

Source: Forbes

Prior to Renaissance Technologies, Simons worked for many years as a mathematics professor at Stony Brook University in New York.

He has a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - one of America’s most prestigious educational institutions - and a PhD in mathematics from the University of California.

‘World’s smartest billionaire’

In 2006, Financial Times described Simons as the “world’s smartest billionaire” after being named on the paper’s ‘alternative rich list’.

The article highlighted the 80-year-old’s commercial achievements alongside his academic contributions, including a paper he co-authored in 1974 which introduced a breakthrough theory to the world of geometry.

According to the paper, the theory has gained significant prestige since the 1980s for its use in topological quantum field theory.

Why is the yacht in Bristol?

Simons’ superyacht the Archimedes docked in Bristol on Sunday afternoon (August 5), having sailed via the Irish Sea.

The vessel is 68 metres long, staffed by 18 members of crew and is worth an estimated £76million.

It was built at the Dutch yacht builder Royal Van Lent and delivered to Simons in 2008.

It is not known if Simons is aboard the Archimedes, though the yacht is not believed to be available for charter, nor is it known how long it may remain in Bristol.

A series of stunning photographs, posted online by Bristol Harbour, documented the yacht’s arrival in to the city - sailing up Avon Gorge, underneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge, via Cumberland Basin and into the harbour.

A small crowd of people gathered by M-Shed to see the vessel arrive, with many of those stopping to take pictures.

‘Never seen anything as big’

A local resident, who was having lunch in Wapping Wharf at the time, told Bristol Live it was biggest and most expensive thing they had ever seen.

“I’ve been living at the harbourside for almost two years but I’ve never seen anything as big or expensive as the Archimedes go by,” the resident said.

“I was having lunch at Cargo with some friends as it sailed in and everyone turned to look at it open-mouthed, like that scene at the end of The Goonies.

“It’s definitely the most impressive vessel I’ve seen since I’ve lived here. There were people on both of the upper decks waving and taking pictures.

“It’s not something you see every day down here, and we get to see quite a lot of awesome boats most days.”

Simons shuns the limelight

According to reports online, Simons shuns the limelights and rarely gives interviews.

In an interview with Seed Magazine in 2006, he explained: “I was on Lou Dobbs for about a microsecond.

“He was doing a piece on teaching, and they interviewed a number of folks. But I’ve never been on TV in any meaningful way. And I don’t really have a desire for that.

“There’s a wonderful quote in Animal Farm. The source of all wisdom in that book is Benjamin the donkey. He observes at one point that ‘God gave me a tail to keep off the flies. But I’d rather of had no tail and no flies.’ So, that’s kind of the way I feel about publicity.”

Who owns that? $100M luxury yacht anchors in St. John's

The archimedes belongs to billionaire hedge fund manager, flies under bermuda flag.

Social Sharing

A luxury yacht is turning heads on the St. John's waterfront.

The Archimedes arrived in the city Thursday and is replenishing supplies.

The so-called superyacht is a $100-million vessel owned by hedge fund manager James Simons, an American who went from being a math professor to the founder of Renaissance Technologies.

Online sources  describe the boat as 68 metres with room for a dozen guests in six cabins. There are 18 crew.

Simons, who also owns a private jet, had an estimated net worth of $18 billion U.S in 2017, according to Forbes.

He's also a philanthropist, donating money to scientific research and to improve math programs in public schools.

In 2014,  The New York Times  did a profile piece on the "billionaire mathematician," which stated the man leads a life of "ferocious curiosity."

It's not known if Simons, 79, is aboard the Archimedes, which is not believed to be available for charter. He shuns the limelight and rarely gives interviews.

Superyacht aids scientists in ocean colour scheme

by Martin Conway | 15th March 2024 | Research & Education , Ship & Boat International - News

The motor yacht 'Archimedes' is collecting valuable ocean colour observation data from the water surface, for comparison with satellite-sourced data

Luxury yacht owners have joined forces with maritime researchers to obtain an accurate overview of ocean colour, to help improve our understanding of the changing ocean.

The initiative is being spearheaded by Dr Shubha Sathyendranath of Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and Dr Robert Brewin of the University of Exeter, UK. Typically, scientists rely on satellites for ocean colour observation, using them to track phytoplankton. These are tiny, plant-like organisms, living near the ocean surface, which use photosynthesis to capture CO 2 from the atmosphere – thereby “playing a vital role in regulating our climate”, PML says.

Different types of phytoplankton have different pigments, which affect the colour of the light they reflect. By analysing the colour of the ocean from the satellite data, scientists can estimate the abundance of phytoplankton – with more phytoplankton generally indicating that more CO 2 is being absorbed from the atmosphere and stored in their bodies.

PML continues: “Ocean colour observations have revealed just how much photosynthesis is taking place in the ocean – about 50gt of carbon per year, making this one of the largest fluxes of carbon on the planet.” This satellite-sourced data can also be used to determine the locations of harmful algal blooms and sediment plumes – and even to track waterborne diseases such as cholera.

There is a potential economic advantage too: “Maps of phytoplankton [or more precisely, chlorophyll] distribution derived from satellite data are used to predict where fisheries production is likely to be high, and provide valuable information to fishers,” PML says.

However, the satellites can only go so far. One drawback, PML explains, is that satellite ocean colour instruments cannot ‘see’ through clouds. Also, less than 10% of the light detected by satellite instruments actually originates from the ocean: “The vast majority comes from the atmosphere and glint from the surface of the water”, the group says. “Scientists can correct for this interference but, to develop the methods to do so, they need to simultaneously collect data via satellite and at the water surface at representative locations around the globe.”

Step forward philanthropists Jim and Marilyn Simons, creators of the Simons Foundation and owners of the 2008-built, 68m x 12.3m motor yacht Archimedes . For this project, the yacht has been kitted out with special instruments to capture data at the water surface during its sailings. PML’s Sathyendranath comments: “ Archimedes travels to parts of the ocean that are rarely sampled – such as remote areas of the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans – so the information it gives us is incredibly valuable.”

A hyperspectral radiometer (used to measure light at various wavelengths) has been mounted on Archimedes ’ bow, and this will enable the yacht to collect in-situ data to compare with the ocean colour data captured via satellite. PML explains: “Using the data from Archimedes , Brewin and Sathyendranath can develop and fine-tune algorithms that they apply to raw satellite data to correct for atmospheric interference and surface glint, thereby revealing the true picture of ocean colour.

“Until now, ocean colour satellites have typically measured light at [up to] 10 different wavelengths…future missions will carry hyperspectral instruments that will provide a lot more information about the colour of the ocean and what is taking place below the surface.”

For example, hyperspectral radiometers can help scientists to observe different types of phytoplankton according to their colour ‘signatures’ – a critical distinction, as “some cause carbon to be transported to the deep sea, locking it away for hundreds of years, whereas others don’t – because of their size, sinking velocity, place in the food web and other factors”, PML states.

All data from this project will be made publicly available to researchers through NASA’s SeaBASS database and the Simons Foundation’s CMap portal. PML’s hope is that Archimedes won’t be the last privately owned vessel to offer support to researchers – as Sathyendranath puts it: “I feel this is a great model for how boat owners and scientists can work together to enable a better understanding of the marine environment.”
