NBA star forward, Carmelo Anthony has had some rough patches in his life before being added to the Portland Trailblazers’ roster in 2019. During his more difficult times in his career, he actually used coupons when shopping. Now, however, is a different story.
Carmelo has demonstrated frugal practices but he is also worth $160 million. One of his most noteworthy purchases was his yacht. Said yacht was once used to entertain a lady friend away from the public eye. Or so he thought until the two were spotted by some persistent paparazzi.
Timothy Spall's Princess
If you have seen the Harry Potter films, then you surely recognize actor Timothy Spall. Timothy played the treacherous Peter Pettigrew in the franchise. In the muggle (non-wizard) world, Timothy likes to sail around Britain with his wife aboard Princess Matilda, which they purchased for about $350,000.
The two are famous for their sailing trips and were featured in 4 BBC series and 2 books. Looks like owning the boat actually ended up making him more money!
Larry Page's Sixth Senses
Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, is one of the richest people in the world. With a net worth of more than $70 billion, he can afford to buy himself literally anything. He bought the yacht Senses for $45 Million from a Kiwi businessman in 2011.
The yacht is equipped with a helipad, gym, multi-level sundecks, ten luxury suites, a crew of 14, and interior design by French designer Philippe Starck. While it probably has some serious maintenance fees, Larry surely has no problem paying them.
Dwyane Wade Likes to Do Things His Way
One of the most popular NBA stars, Dwyane Wade hasn’t let his money stay in his wallet for too long. Wade has enjoyed a long career and has played for the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Oh, and a huge yacht he fittingly named The Way of Wade.
This yacht has a custom-made wrap-around customized logo of his own face. It is a never-before-seen 130-foot masterpiece with a flashy interior that served as a great setting for his 34th birthday. This guy definitely knows how to party!
Dan Snyder's Special Lady
Dan Snyder owns the Lady S — a $100 million Superyacht with an Imax movie theatre on board. That is despite all the things his college professors said about him. The college dropout is the founder of Snyder Communications, which outsources marketing services, and is also a primary investor in Red Zebra Broadcasting.
With the success of his company, Snyder bought the legendary Washington Redskins back in 1999 for a figure that, back then, made it the most expensive purchase in sports history at the time: $800 million. With a current net worth of $2 billion and a superyacht, it looks like he made the right call.
