Former President George H.W. Bush's iconic speedboat, the 38-foot “Fidelity V,” has found a new owner after being auctioned off for $435,000. The auction took place during the George and Barbara Bush Foundation’s 2024 Presidential Salute event, which aimed to benefit the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, as well as The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University.
The auction, held in Houston, attracted a number of the late president's friends and supporters, including notable figures such as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Peyton Manning. The buyer of the speedboat chose to remain anonymous, leaving uncertainty about the vessel's future plans.
