New
analysis
reveals
the
most
expensive
celebrity
yachts,
with
David
Geffen
taking
the
top
spot. The
research,
conducted
by
Yacht
Charter
experts
Ritzy
Charters,
examined
celebrity-owned
yachts
and
their
price
tags
to
determine
a
ranking
of
the
most
expensive
celebrity
yachts
on
the
planet. The
study
revealed
that
billionaire
media
mogul
David
Geffen
is
the
owner
of
the
most
expensive
celebrity
yacht,
reportedly
costing
$590
million.
Geffen
takes
first
place
with
his
$590
million
superyacht,
The
Rising
Sun.
The
yacht
was
originally
owned
by
Larry
Ellison
before
Geffen
purchased
it
in
2010.
The
spectacular
vessel
cost
around
$200
million
to
build
in
2004,
with
its
length
reaching
138
meters
and
a
maximum
speed
of
30
knots.
Besides
the
unusually
high
number
of
rooms,
82
to
be
exact,
the
yacht
can
accommodate
around
18
guests
and
55
crew
members,
holding
a
basketball
court,
wine
cellar
and
an
impressive
luxurious
cinema.
The
second
most
expensive
celebrity
yacht
is
owned
by
Jeff
Bezos,
whose
impressive
vessel
takes
up
417
feet
and
is
known
as
the
largest
sailing
yacht
on
the
planet;
the
Y721,
also
named
the
Koru.
The
yacht
features
a
great-sized
pool
on
its
deck
alongside
accommodation
for
up
to
18
guests
and
40
crew
members.
The
beautiful
boat
design
was
inspired
by
Māori
art,
with
its
name
Koru
symbolising
strength,
new
life
and
peace.
Bezos
reportedly
cost
$500
million.
Ranking
in
third
is
the
Eos
superyacht,
owned
by
Belgian
fashion
designer
Diane
von
Furstenberg
and
her
husband,
Barry
Diller.
The
power
couple
reportedly
bought
the
yacht
back
in
2009
for
$200
million,
with
its
exquisite
design
and
luxurious
interior.
Eos
can
perform
top
speeds
of
18mph,
is
305
feet
long
and
can
guest
up
to
fourteen
people
simultaneously;
it
is
certainly
a
luxurious
experience.
Some
of
the
most
unique
amenities
of
the
yacht
include
a
glass
staircase,
a
14-foot
world
map,
a
jacuzzi
and
a
figurehead
of
owner
Diane
von
Furstenberg.
Laurene
Powell,
the
widow
of
Apple
co-founder
Steve
Jobs,
owns
the
fourth
most
expensive
celebrity
yacht.
The
$120
million
VENUS
yacht,
designed
by
Phillippe
Stark,
features
beautiful
large
floor-to-ceiling
windows
across
its
78-metre
span,
reaching
up
to
18
knots.
The
superyacht
can
accommodate
up
to
12
guests
in
six
cabins
and
22
crew
members
in
14
cabins,
and
the
vessel’s
annual
running
cost
is
around
$10-$15
million.
The
fifth
most
expensive
celebrity-owned
yacht
is
The
Maraya,
owned
by
Sean
‘Diddy’
Combs
and
cost
approximately
$65
million
in
2012.
The
superyacht
is
an
impressive
54.2
meters
long,
and
when
Diddy
is
not
using
the
vessel
for
his
own
cruises,
it
can
be
chartered
for
approximately
$300
thousand
per
week.
On
board,
the
yacht
can
hold
up
to
12
guests
at
a
time
in
six
cabins,
as
well
as
luxurious
features
like
a
sundeck
jacuzzi,
gym
and
wellness
area,
not
to
mention
its
very
own
chef.
A
spokesperson
for
Ritzy
Charters
commented: “Luxury
yachts
are
more
than
just
a
symbol
of
wealth;
they
not
only
provide
incredibly
gorgeous
views
but
a
level
of
privacy
to
those
onboard
who
want
a
sense
of
relaxation
that
you
can’t
get
from
anywhere
other
than
chartering
across
oceans.
Privacy
is
a
huge
part
of
the
experience
of
a
superyacht,
which
is
why
celebrities
are
drawn
to
spending
large
sums
of
money
on
owning
their
own.
It
offers
them
a
sense
of
seclusion
that
is
so
secret
and
respected,
far
away
from
paparazzi
and
the
public
eye. It
is
exciting
to
see
just
how
luxurious
and
spectacular
the
yachts
owned
by
some
of
the
most
famous
people
in
the
world
are.
From
how
they
were
designed,
crafted
and
produced,
it
is
widely
appreciated
how
beautiful
and
unique
some
of
the
most
expensive
yachts
on
our
world’s
oceans
are
and
just
how
much
they
cost.”
