10 Amazing Yachts Owned By Celebrities Sailing sure runs deep in the blood of the
rich and famous, and they love doing it in superyachts. These super-wealthy celebrities
embark on journeys throughout the seas to escape the grind of their busy lifestyle and
to spend some quality time with their loved ones. But they don't hold back
when it comes to the sheer size of their yachts. So in today's video, millionaires,
we're going to count down the 10 of the most amazing private celebrity yachts out there.
Number ten - Sean "Diddy" Combs's Maraya ($65 Million)
It cost $65 million to build the 54-meter motor yacht owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs,
also known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy. The vessel was designed and constructed by
CRN. The rapper and business entrepreneur is accustomed to a high-end lifestyle. His boat
is equipped with everything he could possibly need for enjoyment while at sea, including a nightclub
with a bar - of course - and a big cinema. The master cabin on Maraya has a private balcony
that can be lowered when the boat is at anchor. The yacht can accommodate up to 12 people.
Number nine - Tiger woods' Privacy ($20 Million) Tiger Woods is considered one of the most
highly-paid professional athletes globally and the first golfer ever to win the four
major championships consecutively! Tiger bought Privacy, well as you might perceive
from its name, to get some privacy. This massive build is 155 feet in length,
and it cost Woods a staggering $20 million. It was built in 2004 by Christensen Yachts so that Woods
could relax during his master golf championships. The superyacht has three stories: the main deck,
a second-level, and an observation deck. Privacy also has five bedrooms in it,
accommodating ten guests easily. It also has four separate cabins that can hold up to
nine crew members. But, it's even more impressive; Woods made sure it had a Jacuzzi
that's large enough for eight people to fit in, a state-of-the-art gym, and a well-deserved
master bedroom to enjoy his Privacy in. Additionally, Woods made sure to make Privacy
a yacht for leisure activities; he added multiple jet skis, kayaks, and even space for SCUBA diving.
The superyacht Privacy is truly a mechanical beast. It runs on 1,800-horsepower twin engines,
can hold 12,000 gallons of fuel, and costs $1.8 million to run.
Number Eight - Steve Jobs' Venus ($120 Million) Steve Jobs' name speaks for him. He,
alongside Steve Wozniak, founded the all-too-known: Apple Inc, which is, by far,
the most dominant telecommunications company in existence. He was a genius and a visionary,
and he led Apple towards creating history-altering products like the iPhone and the iPad.
One of his other impressive endeavors is his Venus superyacht, which is currently
owned by Steve's wife, Lauren Powell Jobs. This colossal man-mad leviathan reaches up
to 256 feet in length and costs $120 million. Venus was officially launched back in 2012 by
Feadship - one of the most prestigious, high-tech builders of custom superyachts in the world. Steve
Jobs collaborated with Philippe Starck, a French industrial designer & engineer, to design the
interior and exterior of this sailing powerhouse. Venus has a catchy, futuristic look with a
silver-colored exterior and stainless-steel walls. It can accommodate 12 guests and 22 crew members
on board but is not for charter. Venus is powered by 2 MTU (top engine supplier for superyachts)
engines, which allows this glorious vessel to reach up to 20.5 knots (about 23.6 mph).
Number seven - Stefano Gabanna's Regina D'Italia ($60 Million)
The 51-meter-long Codecasa motor yacht, which costs $60 million to build and can achieve speeds
of 17.5 mph, belongs to Italian designer Stefano Gabanna. The vessel's outside is made of aluminum,
and while the inside is lavish and baroque in style, it reflects the fashion vision of
the designer. Regina D' Italia has a master bedroom, five guest rooms, one captain cabin,
and four staff cabins. The ship's name comes from the Italian word meaning "Queen of Italy."
Number six - Bono's Kingdom Come ($20.3 Million) Paul David Hewson, known by his stage name Bono,
is an Irish activist, philanthropist, businessman, and most famously, the lead vocalist and primary
lyricist of rock band U2. They're mostly known for their famous hit album "The Joshua."
Codecasa, the Italian luxury superyachts builder, built this 164-feet beauty back in 1979,
and it was previously named Nara and Diana II. In 2014, Bono bought the superyacht from
its former owner for about 10 million (about $11,5 million). He managed to strike a good deal
since the asking price for it was 15 million. Bono revamped his private sanctuary with an
Emerald-green and golden interior and a striking black and white exterior. He can enjoy the company
of his celebrity friends and U2 band members while accommodating them on board across
26 guest rooms. Additionally, the yacht comes with a swimming pool, fishing equipment,
wave runners, snorkeling gear, a Jacuzzi, and even a mini grand piano. Equipped with
custom-made stabilizers, this superyacht can reach the speed of 20 knots, which is about 23 mph.
Number five - Giorgio Armani's Main ($60 Million) Armani is one of the most well-known luxury
fashion brands in the world. It was founded by Giorgio Armani and is still
one of the top-leading names in the fashion industry. It handles the manufacturing,
distributing, and retailing of everything from highly-expensive eyewear to custom-made shoes.
Armani's superyacht Main is a 213-feet beauty, and it was built at Codecasa's
Viareggio shipyard in Italy. Giorgio Armani S.p.A, with the aid of Ortelli Arcitetti,
styled and designed its interior. But its unique Emerald exterior with oblique lines
was all the work of Armani's creative mind. Main was built in 2008 and has since been able to
accommodate twelve guests in its seven suites. And it still has enough space to hold fourteen crew
members on board without any issues. Cruising on Main can grant you the ultimate luxury experience;
it has air-conditioned amenities like an indoor gym and swimming pool, a private spa area,
and even a movie theatre. Codecasa used steel hull and
aluminum superstructure to bring Main to life. And it can easily reach the speed of 17 knots
(about 19.5 mph) thanks to its twin-diesel 2479-horsepower Caterpillar engines.
Main's dark green exterior is also Giorgio's sarcastic way of poking fun
at the sea's clich d blue color. Number four - Barry M.Zekelman's
Man Of Steel ($184 Million) Barry Zekelman is a Canadian
Billionaire who took over his family's business at the age of 19. He transformed their company
into one of the largest steel pipe and tube makers in all of North America. He bought
Man Of Steel from Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg back in October of this year.
Man Of Steel, formally known as Seven Seas, was built in 2010,
and it has a length of 282 feet. Azure Naval Architects designed it, and Oceano Yachts put it
together. Both the interior and exterior of this sailing beast were designed by Nuvolari Lenard,
who added a flair of sophistication to it. It cost Oceano Yachts $150 million to build
and requires a hefty $10 to $15 million to run annually. But, it comes with its merits;
Man Of Steel provides six extravagant suits that can carry 12 people on board and a dedicated team
of 26 crew members. It's also equipped with 2 MTU engines that allow it to sail at 20 knots,
breaking past the speed of 23 mph. While previously owning it, Steven
Spielberg gave it the name "Seven Seas" after his seven children.
Number three - Paul Allen's Octopus ($278 Million)
Former owner, Paul Gardner Allen, was an American business magnate, computer programmer, researcher,
investor, and philanthropist. He was best known for co-founding Microsoft with Bill Gates in
1975. He had a fortune estimated at $20+ billion. Allen was considered the 44th
wealthiest person on earth. Luxury megayacht "Octopus:"
was built by the German superyachts builder Lurssen Yachts in 2003. Paul Allen sold
this superyacht to American Businessman Roger Samuelsson before he passed away.
Octopus takes fancy to the next level; it can accommodate two helicopters and their
hangar on the main deck. The megayacht also has a large glass-bottom pool and a 10-person
submarine that floats into it through a large hatch. There's a music recording studio on
the bridge deck where Allen proudly showed off one of his most prized possessions: the guitar
Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock. And for the sake of ultimate comfort, Octopus offers an
observation lounge, a cinema, juice bar, on-site gym, hair salon, and even a medical center.
But that's not all there is to the Octopus; there's a whole other deck with a large study,
a walk-in closet, and an outside bar with a whirlpool. To make it even more luxurious, there's
a large VIP cabin, four guest cabins, a children's cabin, and two additional staff/doctors' cabins.
And to top it all off, this 414-feet beast has a spa, game rooms, Jacuzzis, and swimming pools.
The monster yacht uses Diesel engines for locomotion and runs at a top speed of 20 knots
(about 23 mph). It cost $285 million to build and $20 to $35 million a year to run.
Number two - David Geffen's Rising Sun ($590 Million)
Arguably the wealthiest man in the American film industry, David Geffen is a Hollywood billionaire
who was a self-made millionaire at the age of 25 years old. He co-created many record
labels and media studios, including Asylum Records in 1971 and DreamWorks SKG in 1994.
In 2004 Rising Sun was built for Lary Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation. But in 2010, David
Geffen bought and co-owned it with Lary for four years. It was made by German Shipyard Lurssen who,
used steel hull and aluminum superstructure. It cost $200 million when it was launched.
And it's estimated that it requires about $25 to 40 million annually to keep in top shape.
With its incredible length of 454 feet, the Rising Sun took a lot of work to design - a challenge the
late Jon Bannenberg was happy to take one. And thanks to its large size, it can carry up to 16
guests and 45 crew members on board. You see, despite the Rising Sun's enormous proportions,
its top speed reaches 28 knots (32 mph) thanks to the 4 MTU engines behind it.
It's also worth mentioning that David Geffen's superyacht hosted big names like Oprah Winfrey
and Barack Obama. Number one -
Conor McGregor's Lamborghini 63 ($3.6 Million) Conor McGregor, the UFC star,
has been identified as the owner of a freshly finished Tecnomar For Lamborghini
63 yacht. The 19.2m boat is a hybrid of the two brands and is intended to appeal to buyers
who appreciate superyachts and supercars. McGregor's yacht will have the same materi
als as a Lamborghini supercar, including a special gold hull paint. Tecnomar For Lamborghini has an
aerodynamic shape and a distinctive "carbon skin" inspired by Lamborghini's Si n FKP 37 model.
