As the most iconic British couple after the Royals (of course), David and Victoria Beckham know how to enjoy their holidays in style with a 3.8-million-pound super-yacht. The Horizon E88, nicknamed The Sophisticated Lady,” can sleep 12 guests and includes a state-of-the-art gym. There is plenty of room for the celebrity couple and their friends.
The couple is worth 1 billion despite having retired from the worlds of sport and music. Most of their wealth comes from their lucrative fashion empires and sponsorship deals. Some people retire with pensions. Others are called the Beckhams.
Mariah Carey’s Monster Boat: Capri
Judging by the picture below, Mariah Carey’s Capri probably should have been named the “Coastguard” or “The Bigger Boat,” but that’s just me. When you’ve sold as many records as legendary “Songbird Supreme,” you can do basically anything you want. So, when the singer wanted to spend the entire summer of 2016 living on a boat, who could deny her?
Capri is, by no means, an ordinary boat. It has five decks, a gymnasium, multiple dining areas, two bars, a jacuzzi, a library, and a grand piano that Mariah bought from Marilyn Monroe’s estate, costing Mimi 265,000 euros a week.
Ecsta-sea, get it?
With such lousy taste in boat names, "The Biebs" makes up for it by hosting lavish celebrity parties and family vacations on the Ecstasea that he charters from an unknown owner. The boat was built for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich (so that's where the name came from) and is valued at $75 million,
The yacht can sleep 15 guests in seven cabins and has fun amenities like a Flyboard, a gym, jacuzzi, helicopter hangar, and air conditioning. It's all you need to host parties with Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez around Ibiza. Now you know what to do.
V for Billy Joel’s Vendetta
Everyone knows the "Piano Man" and his songs about Italian restaurants. Billy Joel is one of the most successful singer/songwriters of all time. His success has translated into piles of money. Piles that have allowed him to buy no less than five yachts. That's more than enough to impress any "Uptown Girl."
The fastest of Joel's ships, the Vendetta, is a replica of 1920s commuter yachts that the singer helped design. In fact, he's a pretty talented yacht designer, having sold 50 boats for around $500,000 each. In case this music thing doesn't pan out, he could always build boats full-time.
Bill Gates’ Serene
Bill Gates's super-yacht makes you feel serene just by looking at it. Although the founder of Microsoft once was the world's richest man, he never splurged, except for this yacht. He leased this 439-foot super-yacht for $5 million per week in 2014. With a helicopter hangar, saltwater swimming pool, and two helipads, Serene can entertain 24 guests.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia purchased it for 500 million euros in 2015. Unfortunately, Serene had an accident in 2017 when it went crashed off the coast of Egypt. She's fixed now, and you can charter it if you want to.
