The famous soccer star Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior purchased a Cessna 680 before an investigation into allegations of tax evasion had his assets frozen.
Apparently, he had to take out a mortgage and still purchased another plane (the same model) to use when the first wasn’t available. Or perhaps it was really for him to make his getaway for failing to pay taxes… the world will never know.
Diane von Fürstenberg – Eos, Estimated $100 Million
This elegant three-masted lavish sailing vessel is very fitting for its fashionista owner, fashion designer Diane Von Furstenburg.
It is beautiful, expensive, and grandiose, much like Diane’s first husband, billionaire Barry Diller. The ship has room for 16 guests with a 21-member crew ready to serve them. We wonder who she chooses to take along.
Sergio Garcia – Hawker 850, Estimated $16 Million
Another golfer on the list who made good money by playing the sport, Sergio Garcia has accumulated quite a net worth of $70 million. While he might not be at Tiger Wood’s level, he is still pretty talented and has made a name for himself.
Plus, he has a private jet of his own that can carry up to 7 more people. We are reassured to know that he has an easy way to travel and can make it to all his matches, stress-free. And thanks to the custom suite installed, he arrives fresh and clean for his matches.
Magic Johnson – Gulfstream G-III, Estimated $40 Million
One of the biggest NBA athletes of all times, Magic Johnson retired from the Lakers in 1992 and later moved on to exercise his business side. He purchased this private jet to allow him to travel in comfort and opulence.
While he had to shell out $40 million for it, with his party days in the past, Johnson uses the plane more like a traveling office than anything else.
THE EDGE – The Cyan, Estimated $12 Million
This U2 member used the money made by the band’s music to purchase a yacht. Technically speaking, he purchased a superyacht. Better known as The Edge, he bought “The Cyan,” and can sail around with up to 12 guests.
The yacht is equipped with 6 cabins, a gym, a media center, a jacuzzi, and anything else that you would expect to find in the most luxurious of yachts. David Evans not only enjoys the yacht himself but also rents it out to charter trips for only $192,000. So, if you’re looking for a nice getaway, you should call him.
