Hokulani is actually actress Nicole Kidman’s name in Hawaiian. She and her country-superstar husband used it to name their 3-story super-yacht. It comes with a jacuzzi, televisions, water skis, wakeboards, snorkeling equipment, and a glass atrium roof. Ten guests and eight crew members can sleep inside the belly of this 150-foot beast.
Estimates point its value at around $4.5 million. That doesn’t really matter to a couple that’s worth $195 million. This sea vessel was designed for elegance, with wood furnishings, large windows, and a champagne-colored exterior. I’m not sure about the color but sign me up for water skiing.
Big Shaq Living Larger Than Life
Shaquille O'Neal, AKA Shaq, is arguably one of the biggest players in NBA history, and at 7 ft1 in, we mean that figuratively as well. Shaq has an estimated net worth of $400 million, so for him, buying a fancy yacht is as much of an investment as buying a car is, for normal people.
In an almost two-decade-long career, Shaq has already achieved more than he ever imagined growing up. So, now he can afford to take a break whenever he chooses, and what better way to do that than to sail out in the open sea, in style.
Eric Clapton Rocks Onboard his Va Bene
Eric Clapton, who was the subject of many graffiti declaring “Clapton is God,” is one the greatest guitarist of all time, as well as one of the most recognizable names in rock and roll. Clapton is also known for his 156-foot super-yacht, which is worth around 9 million pounds.
The Va Bene has enough room for 12 guests and 12 crew members. There’s a barbecue grill, two dining centers (one formal and one informal), and a karaoke lounge. Clapton put the yacht up for sale in 2016, but don’t worry. He’s got another one.
Leo’s Yacht of Choice: The Topaz
Ok, so Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't own this super-yacht, but he does rent it. For a whopping 3,750,000 euros, Leo charters the Topaz for a week of partying. In 2014, he threw an '80s themed party, echoing "Wolf of Wall Street" (2013). Leo invited Orlando Bloom and Jamie Foxx, among other A-list celebrities.
Built by Lürssen Yachts in 2012, the Topaz is considered one of the largest in the world at 483 feet long. There's a gym, a conference room, a water sports center to chill with supermodels, and two helipads, which is better than what Jack (Leo) got in "Titanic".
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.
