Billy Joel
Back in the day, Billy Joel could go toe to toe with any of the best-selling music acts of the '70s like Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin, and thanks to those multi-platinum albums, he succeeded in amassing a great fortune.

Being a fan of boats and sailing, it's no surprise that Billy has his personal collection of yachts. The cozy Vendetta, which he bought for 1.3 million dollars, is one of his favorites.
David Beckham
David and Victoria Beckham's amazing yacht, which they call the Seafair, costs $4 million. When you take into account that the Seafair has an enormous gym and even an art gallery, the hefty price seems more reasonable.

![David Beckham](/fp/static/_m_096b2c0e-e889-4ab7-b44e-ccf3d2d5c64e.jpeg)
Were they to organize a long trip with several guests or a party in the glamorous Seafair, up to 16 people could sleep at its cabin; that's how huge it is.
Nicole Kidman
Whether she is producing series like the upcoming Nine Perfect Strangers or starring in critically acclaimed shows like Big Little Lies, Nicole Kidman certainly knows how to constantly evolve.

![Nicole Kidman](/fp/static/_m_be2ca48e-a3c7-40c9-9cc9-d1dcb1d24c2e.jpeg)
No one can judge her for wanting to celebrate this success by purchasing the Hokulani. Named after the Hawaiian translation of 'Nicole', this yacht boasts many unique features, amongst which its private movie theater is probably the most outstanding one. After moving from Australia to America, she decided to sell the Hokulani for 4.5 million.
Richard Branson
He was knighted in 2000, he made it into Time's 2007 top 100 most influential people of the world list, and has a net worth of 6.5 billion dollars... Richard Branson could even buy himself an island if he wished to.

![Richard Branson](/fp/static/_m_b0673764-6032-4a72-bac3-351d5725f1f8.jpeg)
In 2008 the businessman decided to enjoy part of his fortune by purchasing the Necker Belle, his famous six-million-dollar yacht. On top of that, he shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars to optimize its performance. The Necker Belle even won a prize at the 2010 World Superyacht Awards.
Eric Clapton
With the acoustic versions of some of his most beloved songs, legendary guitarist Eric Clapton achieved a somewhat unexpected career resurgence in the '90s, when his multi-platinum MTV Unplugged album was released.
![Eric Clapton](/fp/static/_d_af883f6f-6b11-4577-a1b5-834f92680245.jpeg)
![Eric Clapton](/fp/static/_m_af883f6f-6b11-4577-a1b5-834f92680245.jpeg)
The singer of Layla and Tears in Heaven loves yachts almost as much as his expensive electric guitars. The Va Bene cost him $10 million. Its cabin fits 25 people and has extra features like kayaks and jet skis.
Bono
With his iconic rock band U2, Bono released some of the most beloved songs of the '80s, like the ballad With or Without You or the fierce, politically charged anthem Sunday Bloody Sunday.
![Bono](/fp/static/_d_0da4c382-5063-4e16-8bb9-f41e5d280dbf.jpeg)
![Bono](/fp/static/_m_0da4c382-5063-4e16-8bb9-f41e5d280dbf.jpeg)
When the Irish singer bought the Cyan, a yacht that costs $11.5 million and includes an outdoor movie theater, he knew he had to be ready for the moment when inspiration struck him while sailing: that's why he also purchased a piano for the Cyan.
Mariah Carey
Every time December arrives, Mariah Carey must probably congratulate herself for having released a Christmas-themed album during her heyday. When the snow starts to fall, one thing's for certain: everyone will be streaming her songs, and these will never fail to rise to the top of the charts.
![Mariah Carey](/fp/static/_d_30fc6840-716f-48ad-a308-8d9838c12023.jpeg)
![Mariah Carey](/fp/static/_m_30fc6840-716f-48ad-a308-8d9838c12023.jpeg)
This constant success enabled the singer to buy the Capri, a $17.6 million, 192-feet-long yacht with a jacuzzi, a library, and a master suite. Mariah even hires a chef whenever she's sailing with the Capri.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is amongst the highest-paid soccer players in the sports industry, and having 288 million followers on Instagram probably doesn't hurt either. Brands are willing to pay ludicrous amounts of money for a post of him promoting their product.
![Cristiano Ronaldo](/fp/static/_d_b0e14883-c03f-4631-8f54-3db12c873839.jpeg)
![Cristiano Ronaldo](/fp/static/_m_b0e14883-c03f-4631-8f54-3db12c873839.jpeg)
With such an income, Cristiano didn't think twice when the Aya London was offered to him: the matte black, 155-feet-long yacht cost him $18.3 million, and merely using it means he has to pay an extra $200,000 per week. He and his friends get to enjoy its gym, bar, and six cabins.
Sylvester Stallone
Considering Sylvester Stallone had to be in top shape for Creed and Creed II, which were released in 2015 and 2018 respectively, it's not much of a surprise to see him in such great shape in this photo.
![Sylvester Stallone](/fp/static/_d_35ab42ea-3a78-4184-8458-2f3414192c8e.jpeg)
![Sylvester Stallone](/fp/static/_m_35ab42ea-3a78-4184-8458-2f3414192c8e.jpeg)
Another thing's for sure: he knows how to enjoy a relaxing trip with his family. The picture shows them taking a swim in the French Riviera after taking a break from sailing in the Enchantress, a breathtaking yacht with five rooms, a master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins.
Rihanna
When you think about it, it's rare to find celebrities that managed to conquer both the music and the fashion world. Rihanna can definitely be considered a trailblazing icon in both of these areas.
![Rihanna](/fp/static/_d_452f0a1a-a183-4c2b-bc76-e07409f105da.jpeg)
![Rihanna](/fp/static/_m_452f0a1a-a183-4c2b-bc76-e07409f105da.jpeg)
The ongoing success of her Fenti brand increased her wealth exponentially. Therefore, it's no wonder that the singer can easily afford luxuries such as this 172-feet-long and $18.8 million mega yacht, which features a beauty salon, a recording studio, and several massage rooms for the lucky guests. The Latitude sounds like a dream come true.
Tiger Woods
After playing hundreds of tournaments against the world's best players, the legendary Tiger Woods has learned quite a few lessons: one of them is to rest and take things easy whenever possible.
![Tiger Woods](/fp/static/_d_4af9a9fc-012f-4cf8-bc1c-08a231d95354.jpeg)
![Tiger Woods](/fp/static/_m_4af9a9fc-012f-4cf8-bc1c-08a231d95354.jpeg)
That's why Tiger loves to chill with his friends between matches or tournaments on Privacy, his striking 155-feet-long yacht that cost him $20 million.
Elton John
As we've seen in his biopic, Rocketman, Elton John has struggled through multiple issues during his illustrious career. Luckily, the singer of Yellow Brick Road and Your Song is as healthy and active as ever.
![Elton John](/fp/static/_d_3fda142b-2c0e-4e6c-977c-469fe1ead47a.jpeg)
![Elton John](/fp/static/_m_3fda142b-2c0e-4e6c-977c-469fe1ead47a.jpeg)
When Elton isn't busy collaborating with some of his favorite contemporary artists like Lady Gaga or Rina Sawayama, chances are you'll spot him enjoying some quality time on Wabi-Sabi, his gigantic yacht with eight cabins and space for eighteen guests. Westport followed his specific instructions while building the yacht for the hefty price of $20 million.
J. K. Rowling
Having sold more than 500 million books with the Harry Potter series, J. K. Rowling can pretty much afford anything she wants, including this yacht, which she purchased in 2015 for $27 million.
![J. K. Rowling](/fp/static/_d_7bc2f13e-31df-4f24-bec5-cfbaab2c7087.jpeg)
![J. K. Rowling](/fp/static/_m_7bc2f13e-31df-4f24-bec5-cfbaab2c7087.jpeg)
Believe it or not, the previous owner of this yacht, called the Amphitrite, was Johnny Depp. In 2016 the author decided to put it up for sale for $19 million.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt has appeared in some of the most iconic films of the last decades, such as Fight Club, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Ocean's Eleven. The most recent movies he made, like The Big Short or Tarantino's Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, have also been huge box-office hits.
![Brad Pitt](/fp/static/_d_fcc749ec-af5e-44aa-bb50-0c37bce04b95.jpeg)
![Brad Pitt](/fp/static/_m_fcc749ec-af5e-44aa-bb50-0c37bce04b95.jpeg)
Therefore, it's no surprise that the handsome actor can easily afford luxuries such as the Ghost II, a 120-feet-long yacht that he bought in Australia for $7 million. Apparently, Brad cherishes his privacy very much since he also equipped the Ghost II with advanced signal-jamming technology to prevent any tourists from taking pictures of him sailing.
Nicolas Cage
Many fans of the famous actor were left in confusion when they discovered that Nicolas Cage's net worth has fallen from $150 million to $25 million.
![Nicolas Cage](/fp/static/_d_c76dfe5e-2a7a-4e1a-a170-324b7fcc590a.jpeg)
![Nicolas Cage](/fp/static/_m_c76dfe5e-2a7a-4e1a-a170-324b7fcc590a.jpeg)
Over the years, Cage has spent most of his money on extravagant purchases: from dinosaur skulls to Lamborghinis and this yacht, called Sarita. It seems Nick did regret buying the yacht, though, because he later sold it for $29 million.
Giorgio Armani
Countless celebrities have shown off their slick Armani suits on the most glamorous of occasions, like the Academy Awards or the Grammys.
![Giorgio Armani](/fp/static/_d_c73cd7e2-1e68-49ba-b960-5fde0fdda1e8.jpeg)
![Giorgio Armani](/fp/static/_m_c73cd7e2-1e68-49ba-b960-5fde0fdda1e8.jpeg)
Giorgio Armani, the legendary designer and mastermind behind the brand, didn’t shy away from opulence when it came to choosing his yacht, which he named the Main. This monumental vehicle is one of the largest in the world, measuring 210-feet-long. It cost him $60 million.
Calvin Klein
Though not as massive as Giorgio Armani’s yacht, the Vantage, owned by Calvin Klein, is nonetheless one of the most sophisticated boats out there.
![Calvin Klein](/fp/static/_d_78732619-1ffc-4e6a-88b5-68f34adea4d1.jpeg)
![Calvin Klein](/fp/static/_m_78732619-1ffc-4e6a-88b5-68f34adea4d1.jpeg)
Just look at its cream-white color and stylish design. It looks pretty futuristic when you think about it. The Vantage includes a party deck and six cabins amongst its notable features, and its cost was $60 million.
Simon Cowell
The X Factor and American Idol are the most popular music competitions in television history, and beloved music groups like One Direction and Little Mix have been discovered here.
![Simon Cowell](/fp/static/_d_f1afcc55-ff77-4dfb-84f4-3b4c8a86d098.jpeg)
![Simon Cowell](/fp/static/_m_f1afcc55-ff77-4dfb-84f4-3b4c8a86d098.jpeg)
Simon Cowell, one of the most important men behind these hit shows, has amassed a huge fortune over the years. He spent $73 million on the Slipstream, a breathtaking yacht with an outdoor jacuzzi, a gym, and a master suite.
Shaquille O'Neal
If you're a basketball fan, you probably know that Shaq's main (and perhaps only) weakness as a player was shooting free throws, which he usually missed.
![Shaquille O'Neal](/fp/static/_d_ab3d32eb-87a1-4e73-b68f-20e46f0ab38b.jpeg)
![Shaquille O'Neal](/fp/static/_m_ab3d32eb-87a1-4e73-b68f-20e46f0ab38b.jpeg)
When O’Neal acquired the immense yacht that lies behind him in the picture, he realized that choosing a name for it was harder than imagined. When a fan of his cheekily suggested on Twitter that he should call it “Free Throw, so you won’t ever sink it,” Shaq showed us his funny side and decided to go with it.
Michael Jordan
Basketball legend Michael Jordan won 6 NBA championship rings and is considered by everyone as one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. This definitely has its advantages.
![Michael Jordan](/fp/static/_d_25e7a6d8-7b92-45da-a540-c11a4d70f0a3.jpeg)
![Michael Jordan](/fp/static/_m_25e7a6d8-7b92-45da-a540-c11a4d70f0a3.jpeg)
Besides the glory and prestige earned, the incredible wealth that Jordan gained during his career allowed him to purchase astonishingly expensive stuff, like the 230-feet-long Mr. Terrible yacht, which cost him $80 million and includes a jacuzzi, a basketball court, a gym, and a bar.
Steven Spielberg
Director Steven Spielberg is known for his work with Tom Hanks in beloved movies like The Terminal or Saving Private Ryan. But his filmography is also packed with other notable classics like Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T, and Schindler’s List, among others.
![Steven Spielberg](/fp/static/_d_5c618933-319a-428e-b731-11b2f5a5624b.jpeg)
![Steven Spielberg](/fp/static/_m_5c618933-319a-428e-b731-11b2f5a5624b.jpeg)
Even some of his latest projects, like Ready Player One, have been great box-office hits, so it's no wonder that his net worth is $3.7 billion. One of his larger investments was this $150 million yacht, which he called the Seven Seas. If you look closely, you'll notice the glass wall beside the pool, which also serves as a movie theater screen.
Dennis Washington
Just look at the sheer size of this yacht... in case you're wondering, the Collision is 332 feet long. Billionaire entrepreneur Dennis Washington surely wanted to make a statement with this purchase.
![Dennis Washington](/fp/static/_d_9a4d3c2a-ef86-4781-a4bb-b03266fb9fd8.jpeg)
![Dennis Washington](/fp/static/_m_9a4d3c2a-ef86-4781-a4bb-b03266fb9fd8.jpeg)
The Collision cost him $150 million, and its cabins have space for 28 guests. The size and weight of this yacht don't mean it's slow. Thanks to its exceptional engine, it can sail at about 26.5 mph.
Bernard Arnault
Made by Feadhsip, a cooperative venture that makes some of the most expensive yachts in the world, the Symphony was purchased by Bernard Arnault for $150 million.
![Bernard Arnault](/fp/static/_d_c3c9f391-d368-4291-8b23-ca284534c199.jpeg)
![Bernard Arnault](/fp/static/_m_c3c9f391-d368-4291-8b23-ca284534c199.jpeg)
Bernard is considered France's richest man. Thus it's no wonder that he decided to go with a 334-feet-long yacht with a swimming pool, an outdoor theatre, and a jacuzzi. Additionally, it has room for 36 guests.
James Packer
One could say that James Packer was born with a golden spoon. The Australian entrepreneur's father and grandfather were two of the most powerful people in the media.
![James Packer](/fp/static/_d_f99ffe98-d1d8-483b-a6f7-ab2428de9660.jpeg)
![James Packer](/fp/static/_m_f99ffe98-d1d8-483b-a6f7-ab2428de9660.jpeg)
With a net worth of almost $4 billion, James had no problem spending $200 million on an enormous yacht that weighs 3,600 tons
Jerry Jones
Oceanco, the company that has built dozens of superyachts for some of the wealthiest people in the world, was in charge of creating the incredible Bravo Eugenia.
![Jerry Jones](/fp/static/_d_5d5e808d-9355-463d-a9ce-eb3e99868dcb.jpeg)
![Jerry Jones](/fp/static/_m_5d5e808d-9355-463d-a9ce-eb3e99868dcb.jpeg)
Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys NFL franchise, purchased this eco-friendly yacht for $225 million and, with a romantic gesture, named it after his wife.
Alisher Usmanov
The Uzbek businessman and billionaire Alisher Usmanov has climbed to the top of the ladder in the mining and telephone industries, which explains his impressive net worth of $22.6 billion.
![Alisher Usmanov](/fp/static/_d_52bed827-9bf5-4955-b35c-b80a225c3840.jpeg)
![Alisher Usmanov](/fp/static/_m_52bed827-9bf5-4955-b35c-b80a225c3840.jpeg)
Named the Raya after Usmanov's mother, the 360-foot-long yacht is probably one of his most valuable assets. Built in 2008, it cost $250 million and weighs 4,100 tons.
Graeme Hart
Even though Graeme Hart is New Zealand's richest man, the billionaire still manages to stay away from the cameras and paparazzi. This means most of his personal information is unknown.
![Graeme Hart](/fp/static/_d_80aa5973-3e2e-43ce-9881-1e130209d9ec.jpeg)
![Graeme Hart](/fp/static/_m_80aa5973-3e2e-43ce-9881-1e130209d9ec.jpeg)
But what we do know is that Graeme owns this 275-million-dollar stunning mega yacht called Andromeda. Even though this gigantic yacht has space for almost 80 people, it can still sail at 19 mph.
Oprah
Hosting one of the most successful talk shows in the history of American TV for more than two decades let Oprah amass a great fortune, but it must have also been a very stressful job.
![Oprah](/fp/static/_d_6b287c0d-e44b-4468-8584-9602b3a5f733.jpeg)
![Oprah](/fp/static/_m_6b287c0d-e44b-4468-8584-9602b3a5f733.jpeg)
But Oprah also knows how to relax with style on the Trending, a yacht with a maximum speed of 28 mph. Even though it cost her $300 million, if you have 200 grand to spare, you can rent it for a week.
Sean Combs
Sean Combs, also known as Diddy or Puff Daddy, became one of hip hop's most prominent figures in the '90s, helping to launch the careers of Biggie, Usher, Mary J. Blige, and other stars.
![Sean Combs](/fp/static/_d_e963cefb-00da-43a9-b675-97915fb96056.jpeg)
![Sean Combs](/fp/static/_m_e963cefb-00da-43a9-b675-97915fb96056.jpeg)
Diddy can also brag about owning one of the world's most expensive yachts. That's right, the Maraya's worth is the mind-boggling sum of $820 million. It even has an elevator, a dance hall, a gym, and a movie theater.
The Jobs Family
Even though Steve Jobs tragically passed away before this colossal yacht was finished, his wife and three kids do have the privilege of taking amazing trips on it.
![The Jobs Family](/fp/static/_d_897c10d0-f810-4c0e-ae01-d820bc133405.jpeg)
![The Jobs Family](/fp/static/_m_897c10d0-f810-4c0e-ae01-d820bc133405.jpeg)
Named Venus after the famous Love Goddess, this 256-feet-long yacht has a smooth design that's reminiscent of Jobs' most iconic Apple products.
