David Geffen’s 138-meter super-yacht has a full gym, cinema, spa, sauna, and wine cellar. The basketball court on the top deck doubles as a helipad. He can afford it. After all, he is the founder of Asylum and Geffen Records and the owner of Dreamworks.
It cost $200 million to build this giant vessel, which can reach speeds of up to 28 knots. The Rising Sun is worth double nowadays. Initially created for Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle Corporation, the super-yacht has hosted celebrities like Oprah, the Obamas, Tom Hanks, and Julia Roberts.
The Ghost (of their relationship)
Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie knew how to chill in style (when they were still together, that is). The ex-couple liked spending time with their children on The Ghost. Owned by Australian accountant Anthony Bell, this 122-foot super-yacht can now be chartered for way higher than what most people make in a year. Probably because the couple isn't using it anymore.
Having won design awards, the Ghost has three guest cabins and can accommodate six guests. There is also a custom catamaran for those who like sailing. This super-yacht is fast, having competed in super-yacht regattas. It can go as quickly as Pitt and Jolie's marriage.
Maìn (also) by Giorgio Armani
As one of the world’s wealthiest and most iconic fashion designers, Giorgio Armani knows how to spend his money with gusto. He designed his second super-yacht (after having already designed his first one, the Mariù) with elegance in mind.
The blinds and windows continuously wrap around the boat to make it look like there aren’t any walls. And the paint is deep green to camouflage the ship. Maìn might not look flashy, but it’s quite impressive with 14 cabins, a gym, a cinema, a stateroom, and a hot tub for chilly nights (or any night for that matter).
Nadal’s Beethoven: Better than the 9th symphony?
Rafael Nadal is worth a whopping $180 million. It's not surprising for such a high caliber tennis player who has been a staple of every grand slam tournament for the past decade. The Spaniard grew up on the Balearic Islands, where he enjoys sailing on the Beethoven.
Worth $2.5 million in 2016, the ship can speed up to 31 knots (surprising for its size) and entertain eight guests. Nadal likes taking the yacht out around his native Mallorca with his famous friends after training for the day. Rafael, you'll be receiving my friend request soon.
(Heartless) Sir Philip Green’s Lionheart
This retail magnate is planning to close his Arcadia retail empire while chilling on his yacht, the Lionheart. Worth $5 billion, Green can surely afford to sail in luxury. Lionheart is his third luxurious yacht. It can accommodate 12 guests and is valued at around $150 million.
Nevertheless, the Lionheart has become famous for reasons that Green would rather keep to himself. As mentioned before, he’s planning to shut down his empire, leaving 19,000 employees to fend for themselves, while he takes time off indefinitely in tax-free Monaco.
