Billy Joel has a passion for music and a passion for boats. Previously, he owned five boats. At the moment, he just held on to his favorite, the “Vendetta.”
Vendetta is a 57-foot-long yacht. It’s completely decked out in all Billy’s essentials. And for a price of $1.2 million, it didn’t break Billy’s bank account or require him a bank loan.
Peter Jackson – Gulfstream G550, Estimated $68 Million
Peter Jackson made millions from his work as the director of the Lord of the Rings & Hobbit. The movies required him to constantly be on the go, traveling back and forth on a regular basis from Los Angeles to New Zealand.
To make his life simpler, he purchased a Gulfstream G550 private jet. The plane can carry up to 19 passengers or 8 if they’ll be sleeping. To make the most of his time up in the air, his plane is equipped with a small studio so he can get work done during his trips.
Gisele Bundchen & Tom Brady – Gulfstream G550, Estimated $50 Million
Before their highly-publicized breakup, Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen and Football star Tom Brady often had to jet set around the world together. So what better way to do that than in their own private jet?
They chose a Gulfstream G550 with a shiny black exterior and it looks very sleek. They didn't have to worry about the inconvenience of commercial flights and have privacy at their fingertips. Traveling in style was just a plus.
Tracy McGrady – Falcon 2000, Estimated $27 Million
Tracy McGrady is an American retired professional basketball player. While the athlete did make a nice net worth of $70 million from the sport, it doesn’t seem for a private jet plane.
Perhaps the athlete purchased the jet more as an investment with plans to lease it out. He was the first NBA player to buy a jet and since then, others have followed suit.
Arnold Schwarzenegger – Gulfstream III, Estimated $35 Million
The former actor turned politician bought the Gulfstream III. While serving as the governor of California, he often had to commute between LA and Sacramento.
With enough cash to last a lifetime, Arnold refused his paycheck as governor which was thoughtful on his end but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to save the state from bankruptcy.
