Mark Scheinberg Foots Bill for Celeb-Filled Mediterranean Yacht Soirées
Look, I’m not exactly jumping for joy to spill more about billionaire shenanigans, but buckle up: it turns out Tom Brady, Sofia Vergara, J Balvin, Dakota Johnson and an entourage of A-listers haven’t been chartering some anonymous boat—they’ve been cruising on Mark Scheinberg’s personal floating palace. Yes, the Israeli-Canadian gaming mogul who co-founded PokerStars has spent his summer footing the bill for Mediterranean yacht parties so epic they’d make Poseidon jealous. I told you so about those Instagram snaps looking too perfect to be just a rented vessel.
According to sources with direct knowledge who spoke to TMZ, Scheinberg isn’t shy about treating his famous friends to a nonstop parade of sun, surf, Dom Pérignon and “some sexy fun” aboard his luxury yacht. And while Brady and Vergara have been linked to a casual summer fling, insiders clarify it’s all very platonic—just two pals soaking up the sea breeze courtesy of Scheinberg’s generosity. Meanwhile, his best friend Doug Chabbott is right by his side, issuing invites like a social secretary on speed dial. No secret crush here—just a bromance with a splash of stardust.
Dakota Johnson also popped up on deck last week alongside the enigmatic “mystery man” rumored to be a new romance. Surprise: it was Doug, too. Before you start drafting wedding invites, know that Johnson and Chabbott are reportedly just friends who bonded over cocktails under the sun. Honestly, some of this feels like a bad rom-com, but hey, it’s summer.
Not every celeb is eating out of Scheinberg’s palm, though. A few stars have apparently noped out on invites, puzzled by the idea of partying with strangers—even if they’re billionaires. Go figure. Even Vergara, who’s been linked to Doug in tabloid whispers, is allegedly just along for the friendly fun. So romance? Zilch. It’s more like an exclusive float-and-gloat club with an ultra-rich host who’s perfectly content watching his buddies get their tan on.
At the end of the day, this saga proves one thing: when you’ve got billions to burn, yacht parties in the Med are basically your playground. And while Mark Scheinberg’s floating fortress might be the talk of the summer, expect those invite declines and “just friends” proclamations to keep gossip columns busy. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
