Maravi Express
Traveling by yacht is an experience that not many can afford, let alone owning one. Having a yacht lets people know that you’re doing a little better than ‘just great’ in life.

However, you can bump it up a notch and have a yacht equipped with a range of different amenities including a swimming pool, elevator, and even a smaller boat!
If anyone knows how to live in style, it’s the rich and famous. Check out some of these swanky yachts owned by some of the wealthiest celebs.

Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or simply Diddy, whatever you want to call him – he knows how to live. This native from Harlem has had a very successful career in the music industry with no end in sight.

Johnny Depp’s
Johnny Depp’s Vajoliroja
Who knew that being a pirate actually pays off? It’s only fitting that the star of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has his own luxurious yacht.
This superyacht, built in Turkey in 2001, is 156 feet long and accommodates up to 10 guests in 4 cabins. And no, this isn’t stolen booty. The boat was sold to JK Rowling in 2016 and renamed Amphitrite.

Larry Ellison’s Musashi
This businessman from California and owner of the software company Oracle is worth roughly $60 billion and has a $130 million yacht to show it.
Coronavirus Alert
At the time of purchase, the Musashi, which sleeps 18 guests and 23 crew members, was the largest Feadship ever constructed.
The name Musashi actually means “warrior” in Japanese, something that is befitting of his struggles during youth and successes in life.
Richard Branson’s Necker Belle
Richard started off as a humble Christmas tree grower and seller, but his first successful business venture was his magazine Student.
Today, the owner of Virgin Airlines is estimated to have a net worth of just over $5 billion.

The fashion genius from Florence, Italy is no stranger to yachts. He sold his first superyacht, the Baglietto.

Steven Spielberg’s Seven Seas
The famous director of E.T. and Jurassic Park owns the Seven Seas – the yacht, not the actual seas (though he could probably afford them).

Apart from traveling the world while on tour, he also likes to hit the waters on his yacht with those closest to him.
The most prominent luxurious feature aboard the Va Bene is a movie lounge.
Tiger Woods’ Privacy
Ironic, isn’t it, how there is more known about Tiger Wood’s private life than there is about the Privacy, his $25 million, 164-foot yacht.
Although the Privacy was gifted to his ex-wife, it returned to him after the dust settled in their divorce due to the exorbitant maintenance costs.
The Privacy sports fancy dining rooms, a saloon, and a huge 50-inch plasma screen.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rising Sun
The Wolf of Wall Street scored himself a huge yacht. It has more than 26,000 square feet of living space and is the 11th largest yacht on the planet.
Coincidentally, this yacht used to be owned by Larry Ellison, another man on this list.
Nicolas Cage’s Sarita
If he can steal the Declaration of Independence then he can definitely score himself a yacht.
This misunderstood actor has owned four yachts while he was at the peak of his career, the most prominent of which was the Sarita.
It had enough cabins to house 12 guests, and Cage has been spotted riding the rough waves aboard the Sarita numerous times.
Unfortunately, he had to sell the Sarita in 2008 due to clashes with the IRS.
Beyoncé’s Galactica Star
Queen B lives the life of a literal queen. She owns the Galactica Star, a 213-foot mega yacht that is equipped with a spa, helipad, and numerous cabins that sleep 12 people.
B and Jay-Z mostly enjoy taking the yacht out during the summer months to just kick back and avoid paparazzi.

Calvin Klein’s Vantage
Fashion expert and millionaire Clavin Klein purchased the $60 million Vantage.
Although the length of this liner is only about 15-1/2 feet long, it has no shortage of amenities – bars, Jacuzzi, six cabins on two decks, and a spacious living area for guests to relax.
It’s not the size of the boat, but it’s about what the boat packs.
Steve Jobs’ Venus
The late CEO of Apple was one of the most prominent CEOs in the world, but stocks are where he earned his big bucks.
He earned big and he splurged big and one of his most expensive assets was the Venus, a 255-foot yacht with 23 crew members and enough space for 12 guests.
To operate the yacht, Jobs had a 27-inch iMac installed in the wheelhouse.
