This vessel gained Tom Hanks’ one of his two entries on this list. Prior to 2004 and the launch of Athens by Royal Huisman, the Phocea yacht was the world’s largest sailing yacht. It was built at the Toulon Naval Dockyard in 1976 and later by Alain Colas.
Tom Hanks and his wife Rita, amongst other celebrities, love renting it out for a romantic getaway. Hanks’ films have smashed the box office so well, they made him one of the highest-grossing actors in the US. So when the couple wanted to rent a yacht for $200K a week, they know they can afford it.
Elle Macpherson's Favorite Season
Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson is the executive producer of NBC’s reality show "Fashion Star". She is known for her record five cover appearances for the "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue in the 80s, which lead to "Time" nicknaming her "The Body".
As the founder of multiple business projects, she has money coming in from several sources. So it isn’t so shocking that she could afford herself a luxurious yacht, Mad Summer which cost her $32 million. It can serve up to 10 guests and 14 crew members.
Paul Allen Must Be Really Into Marine Life
Microsoft co-founder is another on our list who can afford big and luxurious things. This purchase answers to the name "The Octopus" (although it probably won't answer to anyone with a net worth of less than $100 million). It is 414-feet long and one of the biggest yachts in the world.
Before purchasing the boat for $200 Million, it was used for exploration projects and scientific research. The yacht itself has two helicopters, hangars at the stern, a landing craft, and everything else you could possibly want.
Jennifer Lopez Named Her Boat After Her Own Life
We love seeing how stars take a break from work. We also love drooling over their lavish lifestyle and almost resent them for it as we pay our rent. When Jennifer Lopez takes such a drool-worthy break, she does it aboard her Utopia III luxury yacht.
As a mother and a woman of family, J-Lo obviously doesn't go on her vacations alone. She takes her boyfriend, children, nannies, and best friends with her. As long as they can fit on the yacht, why wouldn't she? Hey Jen, put me on the waiting list for next time, will you?
Nina Dobrev Avoids Vampires at Sea
Nina made quite the name for herself (and fortune) after playing the damsel in distress in "Vampire Diaries". Clearly, money is not much of a problem for the actress. She posted a picture on Instagram of her and friends working on their tan aboard the L’ALBATROS by St.Tropez.
The vacation on the private yacht cost her $100K-a week. She also posted other photos that made her followers quite envious. The photos showed her on jet skis, living it up, and sliding down a waterslide from the 13-foot yacht.
