He has been called the “Superyacht Influencer” by Forbes, featured in Bloomberg, GQ, Tatler and Robb Report, and commands a social footprint that reaches more than 100 million people each month.
Jonny Dodge presents himself as one of Britain’s most successful luxury entrepreneurs, with a portfolio of eight companies spanning superyachts, private aviation and Formula One hospitality. But a developer complaint currently dominating the homepage of mothercitycapital.com raises direct questions about the financial practices connected to his network.
The Public Empire
Dodge has spent more than 15 years building what he describes as an ecosystem of luxury businesses, each one feeding the next. His flagship company, MyOcean (my-ocean.com), is a community-driven superyacht platform covering charter, sales and management. YourSky (yoursky.com) extends the model into private aviation, offering jet and helicopter charter alongside bespoke travel itineraries. GP Management handles Formula One hospitality, from yacht parties in Monaco harbour to paddock access and corporate incentive programmes. The Dodgeball Rally, a supercar road trip from Monaco to Croatia running for more than 16 years, draws fleets of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis and Koenigseggs on four-day routes each season.
Across these four core brands, and a wider portfolio of eight companies in total, Dodge reports 452,000 Instagram followers, three global offices and a combined monthly social reach exceeding 100 million. His stated approach is asset-light and focused on lifetime client value. As he told SuperYacht Times: “I am used to coming into industries and disrupting them.”
Mother City Capital
Mother City Capital was positioned as the investment layer of this broader ecosystem, described on its own site as wealth management “inspired by African values and global perspectives.” The proposition was straightforward: translate Dodge’s ultra-high-net-worth client base into a capital management product for internationally mobile investors.
What the site now displays is not a company pitch. It is a detailed complaint from a developer identified as rajathuraj, who claims to have built both mothercitycapital.com and a second website, maxhussmann.com, and alleges that $7,000 USD in agreed fees has not been paid. The developer names Bianca Caprozio as the lead contact on the project, and identifies Jonny Dodge and a second individual, Oliver Clarke, as recipients of $10,000 USD in commissions routed through YourSky and a Swiss entity, Cosatravel.
The complaint goes further, alleging that the construction of maxhussmann.com involved identity theft, and stating that the developer intends to report the matter to police unless payment is received. A reference to Caprozio’s association with the United Nations Reham al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship is included in the statement, establishing her public profile as context for the allegations.
The YourSky Connection
The specific mention of YourSky is significant. YourSky is not a peripheral part of Dodge’s portfolio. It is one of his three named flagship companies, prominently featured on his personal website and in his Instagram bio alongside MyOcean and GP Management. The allegation that commission payments were routed through YourSky places the disputed financial flows at the centre of his primary business operations, not at the edges.
Cosatravel, the Swiss entity referenced in the complaint, does not feature in Dodge’s public-facing company listings or in any of his media coverage. Its role, as described in the developer’s statement, appears to be as an intermediary in the commission structure connecting the parties named.
A Pattern Worth Examining
Dodge’s business model, asset-light and built around commissions, referral networks and cross-selling across portfolio companies, creates a structure where financial relationships between entities are not always visible to outside parties. For a network handling significant sums in superyacht bookings, private jet charters and Grand Prix hospitality packages, an unpaid developer invoice of $7,000 is a modest figure. But the specificity of the complaint, naming individuals, amounts, corporate entities and an alleged criminal act, gives it weight beyond its headline number.
The complaint on mothercitycapital.com remains live. Dodge has not issued a public response.
His first investment, it has been noted in interviews, was a nightclub. That unconventional entry point set a tone that has defined his approach across every business since. Whether that same approach now extends to the wealth management arm his network was building is a question that, for the moment, the mothercitycapital.com homepage answers for itself.
