MEET PETER

Peter Antonucci was a commercial litigator in the New York City offices of two of the largest law firms in the world -- Weil, Gotshal & Manges, and Greenberg Traurig -- before retiring from his partnership at age 52. 

 

For his next chapter, Peter became a co-owner and Member of the Board of Directors aboard The World, the world’s largest residential yacht. Spending nine to ten months a year at sea, he has explored over 100 countries -- sometimes visiting all seven continents, as well as Antarctica, in consecutive years. Peter holds a Guinness Book of World Records certificate for having been a passenger and part-owner of a boat that traveled to 78°43’-99.7” S, 163° 41’ 42.1” W in 2017, the southernmost point ever reached by a vessel. His travels inspired his critically acclaimed series, Billionaires at Sea. The first book, Billionaire’s Paradise: Ecstasy at Sea was released in 2019. Scandal at Sea: Billionaires in the Deep was released in 2022, and became a bestseller that same year. The third, and final, installment in the trilogy, Tides of Betrayal: Scandal on the Waves, was released in December 2023 and became an instant bestseller. Peter’s trilogy – and his travels aboard The World – were recently featured on CNN, Business Insider, The New York Post, and a dozen other news sources.

​

As an attorney, Peter served as national coordinating counsel in class action consumer fraud cases, antitrust and bankruptcy law, was a national expert in punitive damages – a field in which he was involved in cases before the United States Supreme Court - and served as special counsel to several major US companies in areas of corporate governance and criminal/internal investigations.

​

Peter has two children, Alexander and Nicole. He currently resides in Palm Beach, FL and Ridgefield, CT with his wife, Tami, and their dog Daisy, and their horses, Vera & Lucy.
