Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson – Phocea, $200K Per Week
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, amongst other celebrities, love renting it out for a romantic getaway.
Tom Hanks has made a lot of money since he first started acting in 1979. His films have taken in more than $4.5 billion at North American box offices and more than $9.0 billion worldwide, making him the fourth highest-grossing actor in North America. So when the couple wanted to rent a yacht for $200K a week, Tom’s $350 million net worth could afford it.

Vince McMahon – Bombardier Global 5000, Estimated $55 Million

It has an advanced wind design which offers a smooth and relaxing flight so he can get some sleep and concentrate on his work. Additionally, the jet is equipped with a sound-proof cabin, small kitchen, and office. It can fit up to 19 people.
