Johnny Depp – Custom-Built, A Boat Like No Other
It was only fitting that Johnny Depp owned his own boat in real-life as he is world-famous for playing Captain Jack Sparrow, pirate of the Seven Seas. He once owned this superyacht Amphitrite (previously named Vajoliroja) before selling it to the renowned author J. K. Rowling for $28.9 million.
Depp acquired the yacht in 2007 and later put it through some serious remodeling. Built by Proteksan Turquoise Yachts Inc., the boat has three decks with luxury and modernity going hand-in-hand. It holds gear for activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and windsurfing, but is also prepared for moody weather with wifi and indoor gaming. Not bad to rent for $130K per week!
Steve Jobs – Custom-built, One Of The Most Expensive Yachts In The World
Steve Jobs spent a better part of his life trying to get his business, Apple Inc., to take off. Needless to say, he did it successfully and was worth $10.2 billion when he passed away in 2011. So wealthy, and yet, it’s heartbreaking that he never got to ride his dream yacht.
The French architect and designer, Phillippe Starck, was tasked with bringing Jobs’ dream yacht to life. Venus, the €100+ million yacht, was in the making, but unfortunately, it wasn’t ready until a year after Jobs’s death. Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell, now owns the six-bedroom boat, which is among the most expensive in the world.
Jerry Seinfeld – Porsche 959, One OF The First Supercars Of The World
Those of you who know Jerry Seinfeld might also know that he has a strange obsession with Porsches. Seriously, though, the Porsche company should reward the man for his loyalty as he has reportedly owned over 40 cars of their brand over the years.
With that said, it’s not very hard to believe that the 66-year-old comedy star is one of the only 200 owners of the Porsche 959. Seinfeld dropped $700K on the ride, although it’s probably not much to him as the comedian is worth a whopping $950 million. Check out his latest Netflix special, 23 Hours To Kill, and you’ll know why.
Paris Hilton – Bentley Continental GT, A Car That Barbie Would Drive
There’s almost no one who hasn’t heard of Paris Hilton. The 39-year-old is a famous icon in show business, so much that in 2007, she entered the book of Guinness World Records for being the most overrated celebrity. It makes so much sense as she loves to live her life extravagantly.
The perfect example would be her bubblegum-pink Bentley Continental GT—a uniquely customized $280K+ ride. With a $400K diamond-encrusted dashboard, the custom-designed pink interiors, and the Bentley logo with her initials, it’s safe to say that it’s the only one like that in the world. It seems like a real-life car well suited for Barbie!
Simon Cowell – Bugatti Veyron, An Exclusive Ride For The Well-Heeled
When you have a $600 million fortune, there’s pretty much no material thing you can’t buy. So is the case for Simon Cowell, who is not only among the UK’s most famous television personalities but also a businessman and producer.
One of his most prized possessions was a 2008 Bugatti Veyron in black, which was among the handful of black Veyrons in America. Cowell hardly used it as it was more of a trophy car before he sold it a while back for $1.375 million. Fear not because he still owns some smooth rides like Ferraris, Aston Martins, Rolls Royces.
Rafael Nadal – Monte Carlo Yachts 76, One High-performing Luxurious Beast
Going to the beach is a great way to relax and drift away from reality. Even though the coast and shallow waters aren’t accessible to all of us, that’s not the case for the second-best tennis player in the world, Rafael Nadal.
Nadal could get lost in the tranquility of deep waters, and he did so in his own yacht—the MCY 76 model built by Monte Carlo Yachts. The 76-foot motor yacht screams luxury and was perhaps the best thing he could do with his hard-earned millions as he is a huge yacht fan. In 2019, Nadal listed Beethoven for $3 million and ordered an 80 Sunreef Power Catamaran.
Tony Parker – Kando 110, A New Queen For The Deep Waters
If you’re a basketball fan, then the name Tony Parker immediately rings a bell. The 38-year-old is a Belgian-born French-raised American NBA player, who played for the San Antonio Spurs most of his career. After nearly two decades of working, Parker decided to treat himself to the most fantastic boat ever.
It’s no shock, as France is among the top five countries for superyachts, according to Business Insider. Parker and his wife picked Ava Yachts to build the 35-meter Kando 110, which they can show off once it’s delivered in the summer of 2020. The fancy yacht reportedly costs €6.65 (approximately $7.3) million and is the perfect retirement present.
Roberto Cavalli – CCN Freedom, Batmobile For The Oceans
We imagine that cruising the seas in one’s own boat would give an indescribable sense of freedom. It’s something only the wealthy boat owners can confirm, and we think Roberto Cavalli’s yacht, Freedom, built by Cerri Cantieri Navali, gives a hint. Roberto Cavalli is an Italian designer who founded the eponymous designer brand.
The 79-year-old is worth half a billion dollars, and it’s no surprise given that he sells jeans that can cost as much as $1.2K. According to Yacht Harbour, Cavalli asked Tommaso Spadolini (yacht architect) to design “something Batman would drive,” and it looks like he delivered precisely that.
Diane von Furstenberg – Eos, One Of The World’s Largest Private Sailing Yachts
The ladies will especially love to know that Diane von Furstenberg is the inventor of modern wrap dresses. Formerly a princess of German royalty (through her first marriage), she is now a billionaire fashion designer. Furstenberg is now married to the business magnate Barry Diller, and they have a combined net worth of $3.5 billion.
They undoubtedly own some insanely expensive things, but we guess the Eos yacht tops the list. According to Architectural Digest, the 305-feet-long three-masted Bermuda rigged schooner is considered the largest one in the world. It’s worth about $150 million, and the couple, even in their seventies, knows how to party in the high seas.
Steven Spielberg – Oceanco, A Massive Yacht With Unbelievable Features
An early pioneer of the Hollywood Renaissance, Steven Spielberg is a remarkably successful American filmmaker. Even as a 73-year-old with a $3.7 billion fortune, Spielberg isn’t ready to retire as he has a new film, West Side Story, coming up in 2020.
One of his single most precious belongings to this day is the Oceanco-built 282-foot vessel, The Seven Seas. It accommodates a master suite, two VIP suites, and three other cabins. Furthermore, the yacht reportedly holds a 15-foot TV screen, helipad, gym, spa, and an infinity pool. This $184 million masterpiece didn’t suffice for Spielberg, which is why he is upgrading to a $250 million one, 18 feet bigger.
Richard Branson – CMN Yachts, A Catamaran That Screams Luxury
The founder of Virgin Group, Richard Branson, is worth $4 billion today. Now almost 70 years old, he has been suffering these last few months, business-wise, given the global crisis of the coronavirus pandemic. On his days off, Branson used to take off to his private Necker Island in his former catamaran, Necker Belle.
It’s safe to say that he had some fun and memorable times in the vessel before it was sold in 2018 for $3 million. Launched by CMN Yachts in 2003, the yacht has three cabins and a master suite, each with en-suite baths. Fancy a magnificent holiday? Pay $70K, and it’s yours for a week.
Giorgio Armani – Codecasa, A Rare Private-owned Boat With Military Looks
Giorgio Armani needs no introduction. The name itself gives away his ownership of the luxury designer fashion brand. What many of you may not know about him is that he is now 85 years old, and nets a whopping $9.6 billion fortune.
Armani is a sea person, which is why he contracted Codecasa to build him a yacht that looks like a military boat, with more luxuries, of course. Main (the yacht) is washed in an unusual dark-green color, making it look almost like a beast on the ocean when it sails. With crystal glass bulwarks, Venetian blinds and bulkheads, marble shower rooms, and more, its $60 million price tag seems decent.
Eric Clapton – Kees Cornelissen, The Ideal Party Boat For A Fun Lover
Only when you’re a millionaire can you tell the tale about the time you chartered a yacht and went on to buy it entirely because of its greatness. It’s the story of the British musician Eric Clapton, who also happens to be a yachting enthusiast. He gained ownership of the fancy Va Bene after partying in it in 2005.
Measuring 47.8 meters in length, and accomodating seven suites (including one master suite), the superyacht was manufactured by Kees Cornelissen in 1992. It supposedly has a sun deck that transforms to a dance floor, and if that’s not something a musician would pay $18.2 million for, we don’t know what is.
Tom Cruise – Gulfstream IV, One Of The Best Planes In The World
It’s not news that many celebrities out there own private jets and have a pilot’s license. Personal planes are especially common among those stars that are super-rich with hectic schedules. The actor Tom Cruise is one of them. Many of his air travels happen in his own Gulfstream IV.
The plane is designed with double Rolls Royce engines, and it reportedly cost Cruise a hefty $35 million. However, it seems worth it as he earns millions on set. Any Tom Cruise fans here can await his newest films, Top Gun: Maverick (2020) and Mission: Impossible 7 (2021).
Celine Dion – Bombardier BD 700 Global Express – A Plane That Offers Many Background Settings
If someone as wealthy as Celine Dion didn’t own an aircraft, then there’s no point in hoarding all that money. Evidently, she does own one, and she loves it. The Canadian singer, widely recognized for singing the Titanic theme song, has made a fortune of $800 million, which includes her $42 million Bombardier BD 700 Global Express.
The leather interior holds 14 passenger seats and a kitchen, where a personal chef cooks up anything she wants. Talk about living the dream! Another fantastic feature of this plane is that it comes in various settings (reported by Aerotime Hub), and Dion can choose to fly in the category she wants.
Floyd “Money” Mayweather – Gulfstream IV, A Top Pick For Many Celebrities
The Gulfstream IV is one of those jets that is pretty common among celebrities. From Chris Brown to Enrique Iglesias to Floyd “Money” Mayweather, the list goes on. Of course, they all have custom-designed features to match the owner’s tastes. Here we look at Mayweather’s $40 million Gulfstream IV.
As a former boxer worth $505 million, who in 2017 made $300 million in a single fight, don’t be surprised that the Gulfstream IV isn’t his only private jet. You can tell that the 43-year-old lives by the saying “if you’ve got it, flaunt it,” because his Instagram features his most prized possessions.
Harrison Ford – Cessna 680 Sovereign, One Of The Best Long-Range Jets
Harrison Ford, now aged 77, is a reputed actor known for playing the character of Han Solo on the original Star Wars trilogy. The Hall of Famer is still very much active in his career, having starred in the 2020 film, Call of the Wild.
To say that Ford likes airplanes would be an understatement since he is a pilot himself. However, he has had a few too many unfortunate flying incidents over the years—and let’s just say—he’s lucky to be alive. The photos above depict one of the many planes he owns, an $18 million Cessna 680 Sovereign long-range jet in a unique green color.
Oprah Winfrey – Bombardier Global Express XRS, An Aircraft With Extraordinary State-Of-The-Art Features
Every dollar that Oprah Winfrey has today is a result of her hard work because she started with nothing. Famous for hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show (1986-2011), the 66-year-old is now $3.5 billion rich. Winfrey once told British Vogue that a private plane is “the greatest luxury,” and coming from a billionaire; we have to believe it.
Although she has owned several jets over the years, the Bombardier Global Express XRS stands out. Why? The $42 million airplane has a 2nd generation Enhanced Vision System, which allows the pilots to navigate through darkness and fog safely. Moreover, the ride also has a time-saving fueling system.
Rowan Atkinson – McLaren F1 – One Of The Rarest & Most Stylish Cars Ever Made
He might’ve owned the car for almost 20 years, and even crashed it twice, but when Rowan Atkinson decided to sell it in 2015, he wound up fetching $12.2 million! To be fair, the McLaren F1 had an asking price close to $1 million even back in the ‘90s when it was first sold!
Rowan himself is now worth $130 million, so he can probably afford any number of such cars, but only 106 of them were ever made. With top speeds of 240 mph, the McLaren makes for the perfect car for all speed enthusiasts like himself. For now, he’s playing in the Handy Bean series.
John Travolta – Boeing 707, A Plane Almost As Old As Its Owner
During his career that dates back to the ’70s, John Travolta has done some fantastic work. Welcome Back, Kotter, Grease, and Pulp Fiction are only a few of his noteworthy appearances. Among his other talents (like singing and dancing) is aviating. Yes, he is a licensed pilot.
From the fortune he’s earned as an actor, Travolta has dropped a few million on purchasing private planes. The Boeing 707, which was a Qantas flight in the ’60s, is perhaps his oldest plane. Travolta recently decided to donate this vintage metal bird to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society in Sydney. It is expected to fly there sometime in 2020.
Morgan Freeman – Cessna Citation 501, A Masterpiece To Show Off
Morgan Freeman is an Oscar-winning veteran actor whose career spans over five decades. Now almost 83 years old, he is as active as ever, with films like Coming 2 America, The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, and The Comeback Trail expected to come out in the next few years.
Freeman has always been fond of flying but didn’t obtain his piloting license until he reached the age of 65. His plane collection has included the Cessna Citation 501 (shown above), Cessna 414 twin jet, and an Emivest SJ30. Freeman is no longer able to fly as his left hand has been paralyzed since the 2008 near-fatal car crash.
Justin Bieber – Gulfstream G4, The Ultimate Party Plane
As soon as Justin Bieber released his record-breaking single “Baby,” he instantly became a teen heartthrob. A decade has gone by, and even after the 26-year-old’s relationship status changed to “married” in 2018, his fan base has hardly flinched. Bieber is worth $285 million, and therefore, purchased a Gulfstream G4 recently.
We get why a private plane would come in handy, especially considering that he now has a wife to attend to. Every minute counts, although it’s not like he took the train before! Looking at his new $60 million ride, it’s a 14-passenger aircraft with a kitchen and an astounding entertainment system, ideal for party animals.
Tiger Woods – Gulfstream G550, An Economic Private Flight
A soon-to-be World Golf Hall of Famer, Tiger Woods, is an 18-time World Golf Champion. He is now in his mid-forties, and even after having earned an $800 million fortune, it doesn’t look like the thought of retirement has even crossed his mind.
Why would he want to when it facilitates excellent purchases like the Gulfstream G550? Priced at $54 million, Woods’ private jet sits 19 passengers and can run 7,767 miles without refueling. He has two qualified pilots operating the plane and two flight attendants at his service up in the air.
Jim Carrey – Gulfstream V, A Safe And High Performing Jet
Jim Carrey is a Canadian actor and comedian who can effortlessly make you laugh until you cry. During his four-decade-long career, the 58-year-old has secured money and assets worth $180 million. Since he is an aviation enthusiast, Carrey didn’t mind spending a good some of his money on a Gulfstream V.
It is identified as one of the best-performing and highly safety-conscious jets in the world, which explains its $59 million price tag. It is also reported that the plane can close in on the speed of sound, and therefore, Carrey has two very experienced pilots to fly this state-of-the-art aircraft.
Taylor Swift – Dassault Falcon 900, A Spacious Trijet
Up until very recently, Taylor Swift owned not one but two Dassault Falcon jets. The real reason why she owned two planes will remain a mystery as she went about selling one of them in May 2020. The Dassault Falcon 900 (pictured above) was the bigger of the two, and presumably, that’s the one she held on to.
The now 30-year-old singer shot to stardom with the releases of her hit singles: Love Story and You Belong with Me. Her bank account began to soar, and therefore, paying $40 million for the Falcon 900 trijet in 2011 was no big deal.
George Clooney – Bombardier BD 700 Global Express, One Of The Fastest Jets On The Market
George Clooney is, without a doubt, one of the most well-acclaimed actors in Hollywood. His trophy cabinet will say a lot about his talents as it houses at least 67 awards, including two Oscars. With a career as extensive and triumphant as his, you won’t find his half a billion fortune hard to believe.
With so much wealth comes so many residences (L.A, Mexico, etc.), and with an active career comes multiple set locations. Therefore, it only seems right to have a private jet, which Clooney got by paying $47.7 million. The Bombardier BD 700 Global Express can accommodate 16 passengers and is one of the fastest planes out there.
Adele – Range Rover, One Of The Hottest Rides Of The Decade
Even though Adele is famous around the world for her singing, recently, she’s been the talk of the media for a completely unrelated reason—her very noticeable weightloss that caused a tremendous appearance change. If a slimmer figure was what the Hello singer was after, then good for her.
In May 2020, Adele was photographed while leaving a gym in Los Angeles, and her ride will have you drooling. It’s a stunning black Range Rover, which reportedly costs £80K (around $98K). Not a bad automobile for someone with a $190 million fortune.
Lil’ Wayne – Bugatti Veyron, A Car That’ll Drop Jaws And Turn Heads
In the world of rappers, Lil Wayne’s name shines so brightly at the top. That’s why he has been able to whip up a fortune of $150 million by the age of 37. With the release of the album titled funeral in early 2020, Wayne’s studio album count went up to 13.
As a car enthusiast, he owns some of the most high-end automobiles ever (like Aston Martin and Bentley). However, the Bugatti Veyron tops the list. It could have cost Wayne anywhere between $1.7 and $2.7 million, and it’s worth it because he will go down in history as the first black rapper to own a Veyron.
Steven Tyler – Hennessey Venom GT Spider, A Ride With Some Serious Speed
Steven Tyler looks awfully good for someone who just turned 72. In case you don’t know, he is the lead vocalist of the rock band Aerosmith, and is also a soloist. The more his career thrived, the more prosperous he became. It allowed him to purchase anything he desired.
In 2012, Tyler spent $1.1 million on a Hennessy Venom GT Spyder—one of the 12 in existence. After enjoying the ride for five years, he auctioned it to raise funds for his very own Janie’s Fund, which helps abused children. It was sold for $800K.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – Pagani Huayra, A Supercar In Which This Particular Owner Can Hardly Fit
Since Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a well-built man, getting in and out of supercars may seem like a challenge. But that doesn’t stop him from owning, and even rocking up at events in them. In 2015, the former professional wrestler-turned-actor made quite the entrance at the premiere of the HBO series, Ballers.
Johnson arrived in a neat black Pagani Huayra that is estimated at $1.3 million. The Skyscraper star is worth $320 million and also owns other fancy cars like Rolls Royce Wraith, 2018 Ford Mustang, 1999 Plymouth Prowler, among many others.
Kim Kardashian – Ferrari 458 Italia, Perfect Asset For A Flaunting Queen
Kim Kardashian is the most popular in the Kardashian family. The women in the family are now all famous icons, and that can be credited to their long-running reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The wife of the rapper Kanye West, Kim possesses a net worth of $350 million.
If there’s someone who makes flaunting their wealth a hobby, it’s Kim (and well, the entire family). From massive mansions to designer accessories to luxury cars. The white Ferrari 458 Italia owned by Kim charged $325K from her bank account in 2011. She barely felt that debit.
Nicolas Cage – 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina, A Very Rare Vintage Hand-built Automobile
Nicolas Cage is no stranger to show business. The actor and filmmaker has been in Hollywood for nearly four decades, and at one point, he was worth over $100 million. However, his fortune has plummeted to $25 million now—all because of reckless spending patterns.
When his wealth was at its peak, Cage owned 15 houses (including two castles), four yachts, an island in the Bahamas, an authentic dinosaur skull, and whatnot. Among his many cars at the time was a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina that is worth approximately $3 million today. It was a rare (only 350 made) hand-built automobile, and it’s probably among the many things he had to give up.
Clint Eastwood – 1975 Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer, A Luxury Car From A While Back
Very soon, the actor-turned-filmmaker Clint Eastwood will turn 90. Still actively involved in his profession, he is one of the last stars alive from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Known for his roles in Rawhide and the Dollars trilogy, became a household name.
The star currently holds a $375 million fortune, which no longer includes his sweet ride from 1975, the Ferrari 365 GT4 Berlinetta Boxer. You can see a young Eastwood posing next to his car when he owned it between 1977 and 1985. We can see how his tastes changed over the years comparing his cars, like Aston Martin DBS, Porsche Panamera, and GMC Typhoon.
Jay Leno – 1955 Mercedes 300SL, A Rare Automobile In For Restoration
Known for his 17-year-long run as the host of The Tonight Show, Jay Leno now presents Jay Leno’s Garage. It only seems right as he is a tremendous vehicle enthusiast, whose current collection contains at least 286 vehicles. Leno’s passion mainly leans towards buying and restoring old cars—we’re talking early 20th century old.
The one you see above is, however, a 1955 model of a hot red Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing Coupe. The classic piece has an interesting story behind it, having belonged to a former racer, and later rotting in a Californian desert for decades. It will finally get the love it deserves at the hands of a millionaire.
