Photos: Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich seen for the first time since announcing his divorce

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich cuts a lonely figure as he relaxes on his £312million luxury yacht, days after announcing he is set to divorce for the third time.

The Russian oligarch, 50, was pictured in Antibes, the popular Mediterranean resort between Cannes and Nice where he owns a villa, Château de la Croë, which he has spent £30million renovating since he bought it in 2001. 

Abramovich, who is worth an estimated £7billion, has 'amicably' agreed to part ways with his magazine editor wife Dasha Zhukova, 36.

Sources close to the couple claim they have been living separate lives for several months, but both appear to be using the villa, as Dasha was pictured there in June.
