Steven Spielberg - Seven Seas, Estimated $184 Million
Jurassic Park director and Hollywood giant Steven Spielberg owns a massive yacht aptly named Seven Seas. Rumor has it that he plans to trade it in eventually, but for now, he seems to be settled. The yacht is 282 feet by Oceanco from the Nuvolari Lenard Design Company. It's come packed with amenities such as an infinity pool with a 15-foot glass that converts to a cinema screen.
Harrison Ford - Cessna 680 Sovereign, Estimated $18 Million
Han Solo from Star Wars seems to have caught up with real life Harrison Ford when the flying bug got to him in his space-exploring days. The acting legend owns eight different aircraft, including a Bell 407 helicopter and a Cessna 680 sovereign. Ford has been a certified pilot for a long time now, and his collection adds up to a total of $28 million. With Ford's net worth, we doubt that his financial adviser would give him a hard time over his purchases. We can't even begin to estimate how much property insurance he needs to shell out every year.
Oprah Winfrey - Global Express XRS, Estimated $42 Million
Oprah Winfrey, the entertainment mogul, who's famously known for giving away cars, signing book deals, and creating celebrities, also has another trick up her sleeve - her Global Express XRS VIP business jet. It may come as a surprise, but she uses it to travel the world and do her philanthropic work. The seating is only limited to ten passengers, but it does have extra room for other in-flight needs such as rest areas, bathroom, and dining area.
Tiger Woods - Privacy Yacht, Estimated $20 Million
The world famous golfer, Tiger Woods, recently just went through a very messy and public divorce. After that episode, he decided that he needed his own space to keep himself away from the world, and his affairs private and in order. Privacy, as he aptly named the ship, was constructed by Christensen. It measures 154 feet in length and can carry up to 21 people. Although the divorce was settled, we're betting our money that Woods had an excellent attorney since he was still able to afford a $20-million yacht even after the costly separation.
Jay Z - Bombardier Challenger 850, Estimated $40 Million
The businessman and rapper behind Empire State of Mind certainly got his state of mind right when he received this gift from Beyonce on Father's Day. The Bombardier Challenger 850 Learjet suits him and his family just like an apartment. It has a living room, kitchen, two bathrooms, and a bedroom. But since the star studded couple frequently goes on tours, meetings, and other appointments, it's a must that they have the same ridiculously lavish lifestyle when up in the air.
Giorgio Armani - Main, Estimated $60 Million
Giorgio Armani, the fashion powerhouse behind the iconic Armani brand, lives his life lavishly with his ten houses around the world. But, his most prized possession to date is his 65-meter Codecasa Yacht, Main. The vessel took 30 months to build, and it includes accommodations for 12, a cinema, and gym. With this kind of purchase, it's unlikely Armani would be filing for bankruptcy in his lifetime.
Nicolas Cage - Sarita, Estimated $20 Million
The man of almost all faces, Nicolas Cage, was recently under fire from the media when he spent a majority of his fortune. Among those exorbitant purchases included four yachts. He eventually had to sell a majority of his assets to keep himself from filing for bankruptcy. However, he kept his favorite, Sarita, which can accommodate 12 people in six cabins.
Tom Cruise - Gulfstream IV, Estimated $36 Million
Top Gun actor Tom Cruise seems to have been inspired by his role so much that he's taken a keen interest towards aviation as well. Maybe, he also wants comfort, and cheap flights nor charter flights weren't going to cut it. Either way, no mission is impossible with Cruise's net worth, so he easily bought the Gulfstream IV. It's able to accommodate 2 crew members and another 19 passengers .
Jim Carrey - Gulfstream V, Estimated $59 Million
Hollywood's famous comedian, Jim Carrey, is also one who likes to chuckle up in the sky. He's also an avid aviation enthusiast. His current plane, the Gulfstream V, can accommodate up to two crew members and 16 passengers. And since the funny man is riding his cars on a daily basis, he's willing to offer charter flights for $8,000 an hour. His financial adviser must have given him the thumbs-up for that extra income that goes to Carrey's bank account. Cha-ching!
J.K. Rowling - Amphitrite Yacht, Estimated $28 Million
The Amphitrite Yacht, owned previously by Captain Jack Sparrow himself, is now in the hands of Harry Potter creator, J.K. Rowling. Rowling went all out for this lavish 5-cabin oceanic vessel that was built in Turkey by Proteksan Turquoise. The yacht is manned by nine crew members and can accommodate ten guests with a master bedroom, VIP section, full-size beds, and a bohemian feel with luscious fabric and art deco interior. For a billionaire, she undoubtedly didn't need a loan to get it in the first place.
Sean “P. Diddy” Combs - The Maraya, Estimated $65 Million
Being one of the biggest names in hip-hop for the last 30 years and the richest one yet, P. Diddy has been known as an eccentric businessman. And he rewards himself with his good work ethic by making smart purchases with the help of his financial adviser-- just like what he did with The Maraya. The yacht is so huge that it requires ten staff members on board and he uses it frequently to throw big parties with projector screens, a stage, and party floor with a built-in bar.
Nicole Kidman - Sunseeker Manhattan 74, Estimated $2.5 Million
Kidman cruises the ocean with style on her delightful yacht, Hokulani, which was drafted by Nuvolari & Lenard and constructed by Palmer Johnson Yachts. The lavish floating apartment consist of a master suite, VIP double stateroom, and a number of double cabins accommodating as many as 10 guests. Some of its special features include a swim platform and state-of-the-art entertainment system.
Justin Bieber – Gulfstream G4, Estimated $60 Million
The Purpose singer Justin Bieber has been known to live the crazy life. Well, he can't be blamed since his bank account allows him to live such insane luxury. To name a few, he's got a huge mansion, always in designer clothes, and the general bling. But Biebs recently announced via Instagram that he had purchased a G4 - which he frequently uses to go to wild parties with his squad.
Phil Mickelson - Gulfstream V, Estimated $60 Million
Phil Mickelson, the pro golfer, might not need extensive training during his pre-games, but he does need to relax and keep a focused mind - which is what his Gulfstream V allows him to do. He considers it his flying tour bus. Well, it's better than taking a charter flight, in our opinion. The golfer's jet can accommodate 14 passengers, has built-in Internet access, TVs, and several media players.
BONO - Kingdom Come, Estimated $22 Million
Bono, the lead man of U2, has made a successful career out of his music over the past few decades. With his net worth still building up, he's able to enjoy the finer things in life. But to top it off, he owns a private jet and a 198-foot long yacht. Kingdom Come, his boat's name, includes a myriad of amenities. It has a hot tub, master's suite, large deck, gold-plated furniture, and a European decor. The crew of 17 can comfortably host 15 guests.
John Travolta – Boeing 707, Estimated $4.5 Million
Grease actor John Travolta is one of the highlights of the celebrities when it comes to aviation. He has his own license, owns seven planes, and he is an honorary pilot for the Australian airline company, Qantas. From an aerial view, you can easily spot his Florida home with two customized runways and a huge hangar. We're just hoping that he pays a hefty property insurance especially as he turned his home into a functioning airport.
Beyonce' & Jay Z - Galactica Star, Estimated $70 Million
When they're not flying on their super jet, the couple is enjoying the calm waters with their 213-foot yacht. Jay decided to buy the vessel as a gift for his loving wife. The superyacht includes fabulous amenities that even homes don't have! It has a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, helipad, sun deck, sauna, and a duplex beach club. The couple can enjoy the yacht with 12 of their friends in their customized VIP rooms. Even with the jet, we're pretty sure these purchases haven't made a dent in their bank accounts.
Angelina Jolie - Cirrus SR22, Estimated $650K
Philanthropist and multi-awarded actress Angelina Jolie has her own Cirrus SR22 plane. And just recently, she's acquired her pilot's license. Although it's unlikely that she'll be taking her children with her flying trips, she'll still manage to get across LA traffic and make it to important meetings. That sure beats charter flights over cities as well.
Roberto Cavalli - Baglietto Yacht, Estimated $40 Million
Just like the fashion powerhouse designer Roberto Cavalli, who owns this beau, the Baglietto yacht is the most colorful one on this list. Unique on the inside and on the outside, the yacht was custom built and painted in rainbow chrome colors. Its 134-foot long body can accommodate four crew members and eight guests. For Cavalli, the property insurance on the yacht is nothing compared to the value it has given him.
Michael Jordan - Gulfstream IV, Estimated $3.5 Million
The greatest basketball player of all time would surely be amiss if he didn't have his own plane. Jordan's plane is easily recognizable as it has the Carolina Blue color scheme to it. It also has his famous "Jumpman" logo on the tail end. For $3.5 million, it's considered as a modest buy, and his financial adviser probably went along with it since, well, it's Michael Jordan we're talking about.
Larry Page & Sergey Brin - Boeing 767-200, Estimated $40 Million
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two among the long list of important people in the world, deserve to have a $40-million jet. They are the founders of Google, so it's appropriate that they named it the Google Jet. The luxurious passenger jet accommodates up to 50 people and has complete amenities. Recently, news broke out that Google acquired 2 years of landing rights at Moffet Field, owned and operated by NASA. With their expertise in handling their business and money on their own, their financial adviser has had very little say about their purchase.
Celine Dion - Bombardier Global Express, Estimated $42 Million
The Golden voice that has graced our ears for years and years has her own $42-million jet. But, we guess that it's considered as a wise purchase according to her financial adviser. Since she travels a lot for tours and performances all around the world, it's basically a necessity. The all-leather interior of the plane can comfortably fit up to 14 passengers and the bathrooms are complete with luxurious designer furniture. All of the passenger's meals are prepared by a chef. What a life!
Tyler Perry - Gulfstream III, Estimated $125 Million
Tyler Perry, the famed comedian, actor, and filmmaker has a customized Gulfstream that becomes a flying theater. It has a huge entertainment library, a number of big screens, and a media center. To have that same cinematic effect, the Gulfstream has a particular type of glass that Perry can control electronically. Its current net worth stands at $125, but the basic price of it sits at just $65 million. Do the math and be surprised at just how much it had cost his bank account to modify the plane.
Seth MacFarlane - Gulfstream, Estimated $50 Million
Ah, Seth McFarlane. From political jokes to witty one-liners, he's created a cult following with his shows such as American Dad, Family Guy, and Ted. With his successful career in place, he was able to purchase his very own private jet. But rumors are getting around that he shares the same jet with another legend, Michael J. Fox. Nevertheless, the comedy gods have given a nod to McFarlane and his popularity isn't going away anytime soon - and his bank account just gets bigger.
Peter Jackson - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $68 Million
Known for his work in the legendary trilogy The Lord of the Rings and the subsequent Hobbit movies, Peter Jackson currently sits comfortably with his sizeable bank account. Thus, he was able to upgrade and bought himself a Gulfstream G550 in 2010. His jet offers seats for up to 19 passengers and allows accommodation for at least eight people. Remaining as the ever busy Peter Jackson, he also has a built-in studio space for when he works while flying.
Diane von Fürstenberg - Eos, Estimated $100 Million
Dian Von Fürstenberg, the famed fashion designer, and wife of Barry Diller, a media billionaire, owns Eos. It's a magnificent three-masted Bermuda rigged schooner. It can accommodate up to 21 crew members and 16 guests. Although we're not sure whose bank account was affected by the purchase, we bet the couple's attorney knows to protect both of their assets. Eos has hosted parties for both the fashion and Hollywood scene.
Billy Joel - Vendetta, Estimated $1.2 Million
Aside from being a musical genius, Billy Joel also has another fascination - boats. He has a passion for them so much that he owns five boats. However, the musician does have a favorite, which he helped design in line with Zurn Yacht Design. Vendetta, the 57-foot yacht, is Joel's prized possession that must have a pricey property insurance, too. The facade has the appearance of a classic style but it's technology and amenities are all modern.
Sergio Garcia - Hawker 850, Estimated $16 Million
Sergio Garcia, the Spanish golfer, frequently flies in style from one tournament to another. But he doesn't do it on a charter flight as he has his own Hawker 850 plane. It's suitable for up to eight passengers. They sit comfortably in the spacious suite before his games and they're able to enjoy the ride, thanks to the extensive media entertainment of the plane.
Taylor Swift - Dassault Falcon 900, Estimated $40 Million
Taylor Swift is the pop-country princess and she owns no less than two Dassault Falcons. Both were customized to her travel and aesthetic needs. The one of two, the Falcon 900, has a number 13 painted on the nose. It comfortably seats 12 people, surely more than enough for her squad, and it can hold better in longer flights, thanks to its big fuel tank. The second plane is a Falcon 50, estimated around $6 million, which can seat nine passengers for shorter flights. Apparently, for Swift, loans or mortgages aren't needed as she pays them upfront.
Tiger Woods - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $53.5 Million
Due to his fascination with buying expensive things, Woods was earlier mentioned to have purchased a luxurious yacht, but he doesn't stop there. He owns an enormous private jet, the G550, which can comfortably accommodate 18 passengers and offer them a spacious dining area and bathroom. It was built for long flights as it can fly non-stop for 12 hours. Again, we sure do hope Woods had consulted well with his financial adviser and attorney before he made the purchase.
THE EDGE - The Cyan, Estimated $12 Million
It seems that the U2 band has made quite a fortune for the members. Aside from Bono, David Evans also built up his bank account and was able to buy The Cyan, a 48.71-meter superyacht. It was built by Italian Codecasa in 1997 but remains in top condition. He shares his love for boating with his bandmates and his boat prides itself with one of the best outdoor cinemas found on a superyacht.
Mark Cuban - Gulfstream V, Estimated $40 Million
For someone like Mark Cuban, buying a $40-million jet won't need much thought. It would benefit him by saving him time and money, but that's not all. Cuban has an estimated net worth of $3.4 billion dollars, so we're betting that even his financial adviser doesn't have a say with this meager purchase. He also has a Boeing 757 and a Boeing 767. Cuban is the proud owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
Gisele Bündchen & Tom Brady - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $50 Million
Since they're always on the go, Gisele Bündchen, the Brazilian supermodel, purchased a private jet for herself and her family. It sure makes their flying back and forth from their LA home to Brady's work in Boston and Gisele's work in Paris a total breeze. Brady doesn't commute with his team via charter flight; instead, he flies with his sleek black Gulfstream jet and does so in the comfort of his family.
Floyd "Money" Mayweather - Gulfstream IV, Estimated $40 Million
His name just doesn't stand for anything. Money made millions with his record as an undefeated boxing champion. He lives his life like a rock star, but with a solid financial adviser behind his back. He owns two private jets, each costing around $40 million. His Gulfstream IV is for his extra-large entourage while the Gulfstream V is Money's personal plane which he uses for trips to his homes (yes, he has a lot), meetings, and personal appointments.
Magic Johnson - Gulfstream G-III, Estimated $40 Million
Los Angeles Hall of Famer, Magic Johnson, has more skills other than basketball. He's an excellent businessman and likes to do his biggest business deals while he is on board his N32MJ Jet. His attorney must be a frequent flyer, too. Apparently, it's named after him and his jersey number. Unlike other celebrities, he favors comfort rather than entourage. Hence, he redecorated his plane to look more like a conference room. Certainly, with his great business skills, he got only the best property insurance for his investment.
Tracy McGrady - Falcon 2000, Estimated $27 Million
The T-Mac we know and love is a wise saver, smart spender, and a great listener to his financial adviser. McGrady actually saved up his salaries so he could afford to buy a jet. He then admits that it was one of the smartest decisions he has ever made. To date, he and his family still use the plane, alongside his NBA friends. We bet that he saved for this baby so he need not get any loans.
Neymar - Cessna 680, Estimated $10 Million
Neymar, the soccer superstar, actually bought the same plane twice. His first jet, along with his assets and cars, were frozen due to an ongoing investigation into tax matters. Since Neymar couldn't wait and he has a lavish lifestyle to keep up, he bought another. However, it was reported that for the second plane, Neymar apparently took out a mortgage. Both planes have a fully stocked bar, can accommodate 12 passengers, and filled with white leather seats.
Eric Clapton - Va Bene, Estimated $12 Million
Tears in Heaven singer Eric Clapton may have had his ups and downs in life, but his yacht is surely one for the ups. The 156-foot-long vessel can comfortably carry 12 people at once. There were several speculations that Clapton used to charter the boat in 2005 but then decided to buy it. The hot tub in the deck is probably the takeaway for Eric. For his decades of musical prowess, we doubt if this purchase even made a dent in his bank account.
Bill Gates - Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, Estimated $40 Million
Legendary Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is not afraid to show off his wealth. He currently owns a Bombardier BD-700 Global Express. And much like the home of the tech tycoon, it's come fully packed with technological advancements. The maximum speed of Mach1 alone should be enough to amaze you, but if not, it also features Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite that's built for enhanced performance and error-free navigation. Even with this bad boy, it's highly unlikely that Gates will be filing for bankruptcy ever.
