R&B’s most prominent couple, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, like to spend time with their kids on the Galactica Star, not to be confused with the science fiction TV show, Battlestar Galactica. This $42 million beast’s owner is actually Nigerian billionaire Kola Aluko. Hov and Bey only rent it for $900 million per week.
The Carters get a lot for their money: hot tub, pool, cinema, and the ability to entertain 12 guests. Even though the ship is enormous (weighing 961 gross tons), it can go up to 28 knots. Galactica Star is one of the fastest yachts in its class.
The Talent Judge’s Escape: Slipstream
Simon Cowell, the "mean judge" of talent competitions, enjoys the money he has made berating talentless contestants by vacationing on the Slipstream. No, this isn't Star Trek, his favorite 196-foot long super-yacht is the Slipstream. He takes it around Ibiza with his family.
Slipstream has a spa pool, barbecue, dining area, and sitting area — and that's just on the sun deck. Inside the ship are seven rooms and enough room for 12 guests. There's an observation lounge, a VIP suite with a private balcony, and a sky lounge that turns into a cinema. It's all yours for 330,000 euros per week.
Sail the Seven Seas with Steven Spielberg
Some might say that Seven Seas is the "bigger boat" that Brody mentioned in Spielberg's beloved film "Jaws". Unsurprisingly, the filmmaker's $200 million super-yacht houses a movie theater with a projector, a large screen, and rows of seats.
There is a gym, a jacuzzi, and jets skis included. There are also large windows from floor to ceiling in the dining room that can be opened when the weather permits. Spielberg didn't expect to like sailing so much, but he put Seven Seas for sale in 2015 to get a bigger boat. See what I did there?
Michael Jordan’s Catch 23
Michael Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, a shrewd businessman, and the current owner of the Charlotte Hornets. He is so competitive that he spends his retirement crushing other golfers on the golf course. You probably remember him from the movie "Space Jam."
Fond of sailing, he uses his favorite $80 million sportfish super-yacht to compete in fishing competitions as well. The name of his yacht shares the number of his jersey. It's also a play on words of the title of the novel "Catch-22". Being in a Catch-23 doesn't seem too bad.
J.K. And Depp’s Amphitrite (No, It’s Not A Magical Beast)
J.K. Rowling and Johnny Depp have more in common than the Fantastic Beasts franchise. They also owned the same yacht, albeit at different points in time. You could even say that Harry Potter's mother bought Jack Sparrow’s yacht for 20 million pounds.
The boat came with many features like saloons, jet skis, kayaks, five cabins with their own skylight, and a wine bar. In the end, J.K. sold the 156-foot-long houseboat for 7 million pounds less than what she paid for it. No worries. She’s still making tons of cash.
