People who have dealt with travel agencies or go through airport security wish they had their own ship or airplane. Well, the wealthy and famous frequently do. Both for ease of transport and as status symbols, these vehicles provide their owners with comfort and luxury, taking them wherever they want to go. But both the acquisition cost as well as maintenance and insurance make sure that only the fabulously wealthy can afford these flying or floating mansions. Follow us as we take a look at the modern carriages of the stars!

 

Harrison Ford - Cessna 680 Sovereign, Estimated $18 Million

The pilot of the "Millennium Falcon" in Star Wars, Harrison Ford became a pilot in the real world as well. He has not one but eight flying machines, including his flagship, the $18-million transcontinental jet Cessna 680 Sovereign. He has been involved in some incidents though so perhaps, besides aircraft insurance, he should also get some life insurance for himself?

John Travolta - Boeing 707, Estimated $4.5 Million

Another pilot, Travolta has taken his hobby to a new extreme. The famous actor has turned his home in Florida into a private airport to house his fleet of seven aircraft. Qantas Airways has even named him an honorary pilot! Of course, just like Harrison Ford, his near-accidents make a life insurance imperative for the amateur pilot.

Randy Orton - Unknown

Popular WWE star, Randy Orton also decided to join the bandwagon of elite WWE star's with their own Private Jets. The star recently renewed his deal with WWE and became one of the highest paid wrestlers with a $4.1 Million salary . No wonder the wrestler is capable of now totally splurging money on anything he ever wanted. The details of the Jet is yet to be known but we are totally excited for the star who couldn't control his excitement on his social media.

Nicolas Cage - Sarita, Estimated $20 Million

Despite a bank account reaching almost $150 million, Nicolas Cage almost had to declare bankruptcy after his extravagant purchases left him in debt.

The 128-foot-long yacht comes with accommodations for 12 people, a hot tub, water sports equipment, and a huge dining room.

Jay Z - Bombardier Challenger 850, Estimated $40 Million

Jay Z is a very lucky man. Despite being an accomplished rapper and entrepreneur, he got his private jet for free. In fact, it was a gift from his gorgeous wife, Beyonce. There is everything a professional couple would need during their travels on board: with a bedroom, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Gulfstream III, Estimated $35 Million

When the famous actor won the election to become Governor of California, he realized that he would need to travel a lot. But not wanting to burden the citizens with the travel cost, he bought himself a jet. This way, he could easily do the 362 miles between his L.A. Home and his office in Sacramento. To give a good example as a politician, he got the “basic” edition of the plane, lowering the price from $60 to $35 million.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather -  Gulfstream IV, Estimated $40 Million

The boxing megastar has built an impressive physique, a name for himself, and a bank account of epic proportions. So, it was no big deal for him to buy two private jets. One, the Gulfstream IV for when he needs to bring his 14-people entourage with him and the other, the Gulfstream V for when he needs to travel alone. With the insurance, maintenance, and storage costs going into the hundreds of thousands, only superstars can realistically do that!

Jim Carrey - Gulfstream V, Estimated $59 Million

One of the most successful comedic actors of our time, Jim Carrey did not want to waste resources when he decided to own a jet. He got himself a limo with wings, the Gulfstream V, with enough room for 16 people, apart from the crew. Being of a practical mind as well, Mr. Carrey has the jet available for hire for the reasonable price of $8,000 per hour.

Rihanna - Superyacht - Estimated $250K Per Week

RiRi has had some of the wildest parties on many famous boats, including Galaxy, Oasis, Latitude, and Andreas L. And when she isn’t a guest, she has to lay out from $125K to$350L a week for such an ultimate experience. Whether Rhianna will end up buying her own luxury yacht, we can’t tell, but we're pretty sure she won’t need a loan if she does so.

JK Rowling - Amphitrite Yacht, Estimated $28 Million

The Amphitrite is so lavish that it could easily have a product of J. K. Rowling's vibrant imagination, only the 5-cabin yacht is very real. The creator of the Harry Potter franchise bought the ship from Johnny Depp who had furnished it with luxurious accommodations for ten guests, a home cinema, satellite TV and video games, and, for the extroverts, water sports equipment. If you have the cash or can afford a loan, she has recently put the yacht up for sale!

Nicole Kidman - Sunseeker Manhattan 74, Estimated $2.5 Million

Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman is used to luxury. Not only is she a highly successful actress, but she was also married to Hollywood mega-star Tom Cruise. So it's only natural that her private yacht is a temple of comfort - with a master bedroom, a VIP stateroom, enough cabin space for ten guests, and a top-of-the-line entertainment system.

 

Steven Spielberg - Seven Seas, Estimated $184 Million

One of the Hollywood greats, director, and producer Steven Spielberg, has a yacht to match his power. The 282-foot long “Seven Seas” is akin to a floating resort, complete with a helipad, infinity pool, gym, spa, and cabin room for twelve guests. The Jaws director is quite fond of the sea and seeks to upgrade to a bigger yacht, so if you are interested, “Seven Seas” is on the market. But for the asking price, we couldn't afford it even with ten mortgages.

Simon Cowell - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $61.5 Million

Since time is money, no wonder Simon decided to cut back on airport time by treating himself with a private jet. Well, this beast has surely made his schedule much more bearable. And considering the media mogul’s staggering $550 million net worth, his financial advisor probably didn’t even try to talk him out of this investment. 

Leonardo Dicaprio -  Bombardier Challenger 300, Estimated $250K Per Month

A high-profile advocate of environmental causes, Leonardo DiCaprio has been called out for not following what he preaches many times. A hypocrite or not, but Leo apparently flies with a rental private jet at least six times a month, cashing out some $40K for each flight. We bet he won't be getting the next green lifestyle award.

James Cameron - Triton, Estimated $3 Million

Did you know that most of the underwater sequences of James Cameron’s movies have been shot using his own fleet of submarines? The Titanic director’s all time fav is the Triton Submarine, and you can be a proud owner of it yourself if you have some $3 million sitting in your bank account. Of course, high-tech gear is not included in the price.

Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook Jet, Estimated $700K Per Year

Since Zuckerberg is one of the most influential people worldwide, you can only imagine how many enemies the Facebook’s Founder has. Leaving nothing to chance, the company has been investing millions to protect its first man. And while Mark’s trips with the company’s private jet cost Facebook around $700K a year, his life insurance probably costs much more.

Tim McGraw - Cirrus SR22, Estimated $650K

Even though Tim McGraw can buy a whole fleet, considering his sky-high net worth, he’s bought "only" one airplane so far. The country music superstar, who’s also a certified pilot, has made sure to add some personal touches to his Cirrus SR22 by having its seats embroidered, and a “Faith” sticker on the window, as a tribute to his wife.

Simon Cowell - Slipstream, Estimated $350K Per Week

Despite his massive net worth, Simon Cowell prefers renting over having his own superyacht. The family’s favorite is Slipstream, and they have been spending their vacations many times there so far. Besides the room for 12 guests and 15 crew members, this beauty boasts Jet skis, seven cabins, a VIP lounge, master suite, and so much more.

Kris Jenner - O'Ceanos, Estimated $185K Per Week

If you still have any illusions that you can keep up with the Kardashians, you probably haven’t seen the photos from the clan’s latest paradise vacation in Mykonos, Greece. The Matriarch of the Kardashian/Jenner family was enjoying sunny days with her celeb offsprings on the 162-foot luxury yacht O’Ceanos featuring a bar, Jacuzzi, and jet skis.

Dennis Quaid - Cessna Citation II, Estimated $600K

With $40-million net worth and a pilot license, you shouldn’t be surprised that Dennis Quaid has not one but two planes worth over $1.3 million. The actor has taken flight safety and aviation insurance seriously, ever since he survived an accident in which one of his family members crashed a plane.

Morgan Freeman - SyberJet SJ30, Estimated $7.5 Million

Morgan received his pilot’s license at the age of 65. And when he feels like flying, the acclaimed actor gets to chose between his three planes, a Cessna Citation 501, Cessna 414 twin-engine, and a long-range SyberJet SJ30. However, back in 2015, he may have needed an injury lawyer since he was involved in a plane crash while sitting in a passenger seat.

Alex Rodriguez - Gulfstream IV, Estimated $3.6 Million

Alex Rodriguez, a former Yankee and the owner of a Gulfstream IV family private jet, made quite a few headlines recently when he took his famous girlfriend to an expensive trip to Europe. J Lo and Rodriguez apparently spent over $350K in less than a week while sightseeing. But, don't worry, the two still have a combined net worth of almost $800 million.

DJ Khaled - Gulfstream G2, Estimated $38K Per Round Trip

DJ Khaled has only one baby boy and he has become a Social Media star, thanks to his daddy’s lavish lifestyle. The photos of Ashad junior flying on a private jet to meet his daddy on tour have become a hit, and the famous hip-hopper doesn’t mind spending $38K for each trip. We don’t doubt that the proud dad still has plenty to invest in a savings account and secure his son's future for good.

Kendall Jenner - Axioma, $500K Per Week

While a week on board the 236-foot luxury yacht Axioma had cost $500K for Kendall Jenner, the famous model didn’t mind dropping big bucks to rent it together with her girl pals and racing champ, Lewis Hamilton for their Monaco vacation. The $68-million yacht features six cabins, a helicopter landing pad, cinema room, swimming pool, and Jet skis.

Bill Gates - Serene, Estimated $2 Million Per Week

The co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, treated his family to an ultimate vacation on board the 440-foot luxury yacht Serene, for the small price of $2 million a week.

John Legend - Boeing 757, Estimated $120K A Trip

Back in 2015, John Legend created a $120K jet-setting package, “The Legend Experience,” for 50 people who wanted to taste a bit of the singer’s luxury lifestyle. The jet-setters with swollen bank accounts were taken on an 11-day trip around the world with the Legend himself on the Four Seasons Private Jet.

Bruno Mars - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $42 Million

The famous singer/songwriter, Bruno Mars has probably forgotten how it feels to be on a crowded plane. In fact, we bet he hasn’t shared a seat ever since he bought his $42-million private jet Mars Rider with enough space and comfort for 24 people. Well, that’s what you get when you have over $105-million net worth.

Soulja Boy - Gulfstream G550 Business, Estimated $55 Million

DeAndre Cortez, better known as Soulja Boy, treated himself with a $55-million private jet for his 21st birthday.

Besides beds, this beast also features a cinema and a bar.

Nina Dobrev - L'ALBATROS, Estimated $100K Per Week

Nina Dobrev made quite a stir when she shared numerous snaps of her lavish St. Tropez holiday with her Instagram followers.  The Vampire Diaries star enjoyed the sunny weather with her gal pals Jessica Stam, Chandler Bailey, Tess Jantschek, and Hillary Harley aboard a $100K a week private yacht.

Kevin Hart - Hawker 400XP, Estimated $2.5 Million

Since the comedian and actor, Kevin Hart is always on the go, a private jet seems a reasonable investment in this case. And while on daily basis he travels with his own Hawker 400 XP with four executive seats, Hart still prefers renting a more luxury and larger jet for his family vacation and longer flights.

Drake - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $50 Million

For Drake, 2017 has been quite a year, considering $90 million he’s earned so far. His $150-million net worth has brought him the title of one of the richest rappers worldwide but also allowed him to purchase a $50-million private jet complete with a master suite and a queen-sized bed. With such an impressive bank account balance, you really get to enjoy life to the fullest.

Britney Spears - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $55 Million

Not only has Britney sold millions of records and held a number of tours around the globe, but she also has billion-earning fragrances and a lingerie line adding up to a lucrative $200-million net worth. Thus, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the pop princess chose to get some privacy with her kids and crew by buying her own private jet.

Michelle Rodriguez - Ecstasea, Estimated $500K Per Week

If you happen to have $500K in your earnings account, you too can celebrate life on this 28-foot luxury yacht, named Ecstasea, but only for a week, like an actress, Michaelle Rodriguez has done more than once so far. Well, a full massage room and spa treatment, a huge gym, jet skis, and two helipads come with a price tag.

 

Michael Dorn - North American Sabreliner, Estimated $250K

If you are a Star Trek fan, you must know Michael Dorn who portrayed the Klingon in more than 40 projects. But you may not be familiar with the fact that the actor is a certified pilot as well as the owner of a T-33 Shooting Star, an F-86 Sabre, and a North American Sabreliner. And here we are, taking a loan to buy a car.

Zach Braff - Cirrus SR-20, Estimated $390K

After actor Zach Braff had developed a fear of flying, he decided to conquer it by learning to pilot a plane. Not only did Braff become a certified pilot, but he also bought himself a Cirrus SR-2 which is a four-seater composite monoplane soon after. And while overcoming a phobia must be priceless, this investment had cost Braff around $390K.

Nicki Minaj - Gulfstream V, Estimated $36 Million

The queen of modern hip-hop Nicki Minaj loves splashing her money on every luxury possible, including jewels, cars, and real estate. More recently, she realized that she's had enough of renting a private jet, and got herself her own $36-million ride. We may assume that a savings account is not her top priority, at least for now.

John Cena - Gulfstream, Estimated $20K Per Flight

In addition to wrestling, John Cena is the face of WWE who appears in different events, TV, and film projects. Since all that requires being constantly on the move, the company pays most of Cena’s flights. However, being the highest-paid wrestler in sports entertainment with over $35 million net worth allows Cena to pay for his own flight every now and then.

Karl Lagerfeld - Boeing Business Jet, Estimated $80 Million

Karl Lagerfeld can tell you all about riding in style considering his collection of several private jets. In addition to a master bedroom and a chef’s kitchen, they all include a spacious lounging area for his cat. And more recently, the fashion powerhouse added the Boeing Business Jet to his list of properties where he even hosted the first ever on-air fashion show.

Cara Delevingne - Cessna Citation CJ2, Estimated $12K Per Flight

Model/Actress Cara Delevigne may well become the next private jet owner considering how often she travels all across the world. However, for now, the British sensation is renting her jets and probably spending more than an average annual salary each time. But then again, with a net worth of $9 million, she can definitely afford it.

Vince McMahon - Bombardier Global 5000, Estimated $55 Million

Despite how well his company is doing in the stock market, the WWE billionaire CEO, Vince McMahon, took a 4-installment bank loan to buy his Bombardier Global 500 Jet. The plane, which features a sound-proof cabin, office, and a small kitchen, can host up to 19 passengers. 

Bono - Airbus A310, Estimated $90 Million

Besides being the U2’s frontman, Bono is also famous for his extensive charity work. To make his flights around the world comfier, he bought himself a previously-used military Airbus A310, adding the U2 logo to it. However, we let you be the judge whether flying on a big plane contradicts the environmental work he seems to be so dedicated to doing.

Ralph Lauren - Gulfstream 650, Estimated $65 Million

With billions in his bank account, fashion designer Ralph Lauren can afford an expensive hobby like collecting private jets. And while some of his planes are only for collecting purposes, Lauren uses the others for his many trips. Our fave is this Gulfstream 650 which has enough room for up to 18 people and all the recent technological utilities (Internet, phone, etc.).

Ariana Grande - Gulfstream G650, Estimated $58 Million

Ariana Grande has been on the roll for the past few years, but still, she would probably need a huge bank loan to get her own private jet. And that’s why the petite pop star is, for now, renting an aircraft for her tours and trips. But don’t you doubt even for a second that flying with a G6 comes with a small price. 

Selena Gomez - Bombardier Challenger 300, Estimated $250K Per Month

We are not sure whether Selena Gomez owns or leases her private jet, but you can find numerous Instagram posts of her and her family and friends on board a jet. Despite the fact that the superstar, who has a $50-million net worth, is only 24, it’s never too soon to start a savings account if you ask us.

John Legend & Chrissy Teigen - Bombardier Challenger 300, Estimated $26 Million

The multi-awarded (Grammy and Golden Globe Awards) winner, John Legend, and his better half, supermodel and TV personality, Chrissy Teigen, have a combined net worth of over $50 million and a $26-million private jet. Having a plane must have been convenient when the power couple took their baby girl to a luxurious tropical vacation.

Matthew McConaughey - Bombardier Global 7000, Estimated $72.8 Million

The Oscar-winner, Matthew McConaughey, was among the first ones to be on board the new Bombardier Global 7000 that features a fully equipped kitchen, master suite, and a customizable cabin space. And these days, he is considering buying it all for himself. But considering his $95 million net worth, his financial advisor may not approve this investment. 

Lady Gaga - Boeing 757, Estimated $80 Million

Lady Gaga is one rich lady who’s earned around $280 million net worth through her successful ventures in the fields of music, fashion, and business. Gaga can afford to buy a jet (or two), but, for now, she's more than comfortable flying on a Boeing 757 that she has received as a gift from Live Nation. Hopefully, she's paying the airport taxes at least.

Chris Hemsworth - Cessna Citation Excel, Estimated $12 Million

When you have a big family, plus you spend many hours on planes, a private jet seems like a reasonable investment if you can afford one, of course. Fortunately for Chris Hemsworth, he can, and he opted for a Cessna Citation Excel. The huge net worth allowed the Australian hero to pay his father’s debts and mortgage as well.

 

BONO - Kingdom Come, Estimated $22 Million

The millionaire singer and philanthropist loves the sea with passion and demonstrates it with his yacht. The ship is 198 feet long, has a master suite, marble bathroom, hot tub, and a huge deck. It takes a crew of 17 to properly handle both the ship and the 26 guests it can carry, but with a bank account nearing $900 million, Bono can afford it all - from the ship's insurance to the crew's salaries.

Tyler Perry - Gulfstream III, Estimated $125 Million

Tyler Perry had a particular vision about the way he wanted to travel the globe. The famous comedian wanted a cinema with wings, and that is what he turned his Gulfstream III into. It now boasts a number of huge screens, a gigantic media library and media center, satellite TV, theater lighting, and electronically controlled window shades. With a price tag of $125 million, we suspect Tyler Perry must have made some wise investments in his life.

Hilary Duff - Hawker 800XPR, Estimated $16 Million

Actress Hilary Duff and her now ex-husband Mike Comrie used to take to Instagram and share numerous photos, showing off their jet-set life. We’re not sure whether the two bought or were leasing the plane, but in case they did actually buy it, we’re wondering who got it in their divorce settlement. Probably the one with the better divorce attorney.

Roberto Cavalli - Baglietto Yacht, Estimated $40 Million

The yacht of a famous fashion designer like Roberto Cavalli could not be ordinary. Painted in chrome, almost iridescent colors, it makes an impression wherever it goes. Designed and built in Italy, it is a wonder of both luxury and style. Roberto can take up to seven other guests with him on his travels, and a ship of four crewmen takes care of the ship and the passengers' needs.

Bill Gates - Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, Estimated $40 Million

One of the richest men in the world, we never doubted the founder of Microsoft would have his own jet. His Bombardier BD-700 Global Express is customized for the tech genius' needs, filled with all kinds of gadgets, technological advances, and futuristic systems. With a bank account more substantial than a small nation's GDP, he can always afford the best.

Celine Dion - Bombardier Global Express, Estimated $42 Million

The famous pop diva spends so much time traveling that a private jet is more than a convenience; it is an investment. Her music career takes her to all the corners of the world, so having her own private aircraft gives her the autonomy she needs. Of course, that doesn't mean it is not lavishly furnished - with a leather interior, designer furniture, and her own chef to prepare meals.

Eric Clapton - Va Bene, Estimated $12 Million

Rumor has it that Eric Clapton used to charter this yacht in the past and he had so much fun with it that he decided to purchase it. With a long and productive career such as his, Mr. Clapton could easily afford the $12-million vessel without a loan or even a significant dent in his bank account. The aptly named “Va Bene” (it means “all is well”) is 156 feet long and allows its owner to bring along eleven of his friends and enjoy the hot tub, satellite TV, water sports, or just lazing around!

Larry Page & Sergey Brin - Boeing 767-200, Estimated $40 Million

Part of the new generation of billionaires, the founders of Google own the so-called “Google Jet”, which looks more like an airliner than a private jet. With passenger space enough for 50 people, the aircraft has two luxurious staterooms, dining area, and even distinct first class seats. The two businessmen also claim that it is a sound investment, considering how much the top Google execs travel.

Beyonce' & Jay Z - Galactica Star, Estimated $70 Million

We have already mentioned Jay Z and Beyonce in this list, but what can we do? The famous couple just demands attention! The yacht is a gift; this time from Jay Z to Beyonce. She fell in love with it when they chartered it once. Jay Z took a hit on his bank account in the name of love! It is 213 feet long with a swimming pool, sundeck, sauna, Jacuzzi, and even a helipad. There is also a master bedroom for the celebrity duo and VIP suites for their twelve guests!

Tiger Woods - Privacy Yacht, Estimated $20 Million

Considering how public his life and his life's problems have been, it's no wonder the pro-golfer named his 47-meter yacht “Privacy". Tiger can bring up to 21 friends with him and keep them entertained with a gym, a theater, a Jacuzzi, and for the sports-oriented, jet skis!

 

Tiger Woods - Gulfstream G550, Estimated $53.5 Million

Tiger Woods also gets to appear twice on the list, this time for his other status symbol: his private jet. Wherever his luxury yacht cannot take him, he can fly with his Gulfstream G550. It can carry 18 passengers and has a large dining area for when Tiger and his friends get peckish on board. It is an investment that Tiger Woods, who has a net worth of about $740 million, can easily afford.

Oprah Winfrey - Global Express XRS, Estimated $42 Million

The queen of TV could only travel like royalty, with her own private flying carriage. Courtesy of Bombardier Aerospace, her jet has been modified to increase the space available for amenities at the cost of seating. That means it can only carry ten passengers but is equipped with extra bathrooms and dining and rest areas. As a personal touch from Oprah, the interior is all leather.

Angelina Jolie - Cirrus SR22, Estimated $650K

The Hollywood superstar has purchased a small plane that she can fly herself with her newly acquired pilot's license. The nimble aircraft might not be as big as others, but it serves as a flying car for Angelina, who has chosen practicality over extravagance.

Sean “P. Diddy” Combs - The Maraya, Estimated $65 Million

Sean Combs, the hip-hop megastar, changes his name as fast as normal people change their clothes. But what he doesn't change is his yacht, the "Maraya". It is a 54-ft palace of opulence that took three years to make and comes equipped with a stage, a huge projector screen, and an '80s style bar.

RICHARD BRANSON – NECKER BELLE, ESTIMATED $6.9 MILLION

With a net worth valued at over $5 billion, Richard Branson can have pretty much whatever he wants. At present, he has the Caribbean yacht, Necker Belle, that was called Lady Barbaretta initially.

Fit for accommodating seven people, Necker Belle remains unmatched for speed-cruising.

TIMOTHY SPALL – PRINCESS MATILDA, ESTIMATED $350K

Our fondest memories of Timothy Spall are from the Harry Potter movies. When he is not spreading magic on the screen, Spall likes to sail around Britain with his wife.

A glimpse of it is stored in two books and four BBC series.

JOYCE MEYER – GULFSTREAM G-IV, ESTIMATED $10 MILLION

When you do not have any mortgage debt to live with, you may as well indulge in some luxury. That is just what Joyce Meyer did by purchasing the Gulfstream G-IV jet. Christian speaker, author, and the president of Meyer Ministries, Joyce is not just a great human being. But with her latest purchase, she is also set to become an internationally recognized humanitarian with her private jet!

NEYMAR – AZIMUT 78, ESTIMATED $15 MILLION

Professional Brazilian and Paris Saint-Germain footballer, Neymar da Silva Santos Jr. (or Neymar Jr.) got help with his business finance and "invested" in a used Italian yacht. Billed at $15 million and with a yearly maintenance cost of $500K, Neymar could have just gone out and rented the yacht. That is something David Beckham does all the time.

GEORGE CLOONEY – BD-700 GLOBAL EXPRESS, ESTIMATED $47.7 MILLION

With two Oscars and $500 million in his bank account, George Clooney's life can never be ordinary. His car-fleet boasts of a Ferrari, Tesla, and a Lamborghini already. But what catches our attention is his BD-700 Global Express with an estimated bill of $47.7 million. Clooney, his wife, and children sure must enjoy riding in the "belly" of this flying whale when they visit their castles in Europe!

 

ANDREY MELNICHENKO – “A,” ESTIMATED $300 MILLION

Russian billionaire industrialist, Andrey Melnichenko, owns one of the largest yachts in the world. Discreetly named “A”, the yacht provides excellent luxury merged in all its beautiful 390 feet. Billed at an awe-inspiring price of $300 million, A is a legitimate palace on the sea, offering every luxury known to man. A has hosted celebs like Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore. The idea of purchasing a yacht this costly could be inconceivable for many. But Andrey has a net worth of $13.2 billion and is nowhere near his retirement planning days.

LARRY ELLISON – RISING SUN, ESTIMATED $200 MILLION

Designer John Bannerberg collaborated with German company Lürssen to design Rising Sun. The yacht belongs to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison and underwent its most recent modification in 2007.

CRISTIANO RONALDO – AYA LONDON, $54K PER MONTH

Christiano Ronaldo is generally seen on the football field threatening to send a ball to the orbit. But when he's not doing that, he prefers relaxing with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on the Aya London yacht. At the moment, Ronaldo might be battling a multi-million tax evasion charge, the court hearing for which is imminent. However, with a luxury yacht and the vast expanse of the calm sea, Ronaldo can give himself a break, if anything for his mental health's well being.

DAVID GUETTA – CESSNA 525B CITATION CJ3, ESTIMATED $8 MILLION

David Guetta is a French DJ and record player who likes flying from one country to another regularly. That is largely because he has fans all around the world. He’s definitely one of those DJs who have private planes of their own. And since Guetta also has a solid net worth of $30 million, his financial advisor must have allowed him to make the investment.

JENNY MCCARTHY & DONNIE WAHLBERG –  JETSMARTER, $9K MEMBERSHIP

The JetSmarter is very much the Uber of private jets. It is especially meant for those who prefer the alacrity and seclusion of a private jet over a commercial one. The membership costs $9K a year. The app-based platform finds recognition with the help of Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy who have the license to use the company’s jets for their personal use. That arrangement is neat!

DR. DRE – GULFSTREAM V, ESTIMATED $36 MILLION

There are classy private jets and then there is the Gulfstream V. While musicians generally make good money, Dr. Dre breaks the bank with a hipping, hopping net worth of $740 million. When he sold Beats to Apple for $3.2 billion, the headlines almost broke the media. Now when you crack deals on that level, a private jet worth $36 million seems more like a necessity.

LARRY PAGE – SENSES, ESTIMATED $45 MILLION

Larry Page, the magnetic co-founder of Google, has a thing for high-end toys. His long list of toys includes the mega expedition yacht, Senses. The owner of the yacht before Page was famous New Zealand businessman Douglas Meyers.

LINDSAY LOHAN – OASIS, ESTIMATED $400K PER WEEK

Among those starlets who love to “sun out” their vacation days, Lindsay Lohan perhaps spends the most. While she was in France, Lohan was out renting the splendid Oasis. The yacht offers everything from contemporary art galleries and a mega piano to some plush interiors. But Lohan’s net worth had recently plummeted to $500K. So we are a little fixed on how she afforded the $400K-per-week rent.

CRAIG MCCAW – BOMBARDIER CHALLENGER 604, ESTIMATED $32.35 MILLION

Craig McCaw has a host of expensive toys, including the superyacht, Tatoosh. Not long back, he also had his own personal fleet of private jets. Most of those had already been sold as he has kept making higher investments. McCaw now has a long-range Challenger 604 made by Bombardier. With a max speed of 0.74 Mach and a flying range of 3,850 miles, this is one jet that anyone would pay an arm and a leg for.

COLIN FIRTH – SUNLINER, $57K PER WEEK

We already know enough celebrities who grace the Cannes film festivals with their luxury cars and private jets. But not many of them could draw as much attention as actor Colin Firth when he came out of the Sunliner yacht that costs $57K for a week of rent. Someone who can afford that kind of affluence must have a large bank account!

MEL GIBSON – GULFSTREAM V, ESTIMATED $40 MILLION

When it came to buying a private jet, Mel Gibson went with one of the safest and most luxurious choices there was. Costing an impressive $40 million, the Gulfstream V owned by Gibson is undoubtedly one of the most celeb-cherished jets in the world. And it is known to offer the best of comfort even at a height of 51,000 feet.

STEVE AOKI – RAYTHEON HAWKER 800XP, ESTIMATED $13 MILLION

American DJ Steve Aoki has been garnering international fame ever since 2010. His music and popularity have already made him a multi-millionaire. Traveling a lot from show to show, Aoki has gathered a net worth of $23 million in no time. Out of that, he had spent $13 million on the Hawker private jet. Did the financial advisor check his savings account?

MICHAEL JORDAN - MR. TERRIBLE, ESTIMATED $47 MILLION

Michael Jordan is the owner of Mr. Terrible – the yacht with a personality of its own. With its capacity of reaching 20 knots in no time, the yacht promises an impressive maximum speed of 24 knots. Having a mammoth net worth of $1.3 billion, Michael Jordan can afford a line of mansions, private jets, and even Mr. Terrible. Give us a ride, Mr. Terrible!

LEWIS HAMILTON - BOMBARDIER CHALLENGER-600, ESTIMATED $20 MILLION

Lewis Hamilton takes no chances. How do we know? Well, he’s put his money where the World Bank could put all their wealth – the Bombardier Challenger 605. The champion race car driver has already made plenty of real estate investments, too. The Bombardier Challenger jet that he had picked up has a turbofan engine and costs $20 million.

Justin Bieber - Gulfstream G4, Estimated $60 Million

He may be young, but the pop phenomenon does not like getting left behind when it comes to luxury. Tired of getting into other people's private jets, he purchased his own. He certainly has the money to do it and to pay the nearly $1 million high insurance! But if Bieber wants to party in the clouds, money is not an issue.

Miley Cyrus - Gulfstream V, Estimated $40 Million

You shouldn’t expect to share a plane seat with Miley Cyrus anytime soon unless you are a guest on her $40-million private jet. Since the pop star is only 24 and already has a net worth of around $120 million, we wouldn't be surprised if she'd add a few more models to her list of properties in the future.

ELVIS PRESLEY - CONVAIR 880, ESTIMATED $3 MILLION

Say what you will about him but for us, Elvis Presley will continue to be the King of Rock and Roll. Way back in the day, Presley had picked up a Delta Convair 880 without caring a hoot about mortgages. The year was 1975, and Elvis had affectionately named the jet Lisa Marie after his daughter. The plane’s price was $600K after a series of customizations.

JACKIE CHAN - EMBRACER LEGACY- ESTIMATED $20 MILLION

Where there’s action, there is Jackie Chan. After likely consulting his wealth management advisor, they agreed to the purchase of Chan’s new Embracer Legacy. He once said that the fantastic plane allowed him to travel around a lot, giving him the chance of doing both philanthropic work and acting. And guess what, the star action-hero owns another Embracer Legacy!

JUDITH SHEINDLIN - TRIUMPHANT LADY, ESTIMATED $6.9 MILLION

Judith Sheindlin’s super-yacht, Triumphant Lady, was built by Sterling Yachts way back in 1985. Celebrated interior designer Cindy Mason lent her handiwork to the insides of the yacht. With Sheindlin's wide range of credentials of being a lawyer, judge, and TV personality, starting from the mid-60s, she has phenomenally built her savings account. And with her net worth of $47 million, she could very well take on the investment of $6.9 million to own Triumphant Lady. The queen of reality TV still basks in its glory.

BRUCE DICKINSON - BOEING 757, ESTIMATED $100 MILLION

Bruce Dickinson saw fame (and money) pouring down on him when he led the ace metal band, Iron Maiden. Not many would know that Bruce is also a trained commercial pilot who flew the band on five world tours between 2008 and 2016. The 757 owned by the band was named Ed Force One and it had 666 written on top of it. Dickinson started a new business line of pilot training and aircraft maintenance called Cardiff Aviation in 2012.

GWYNETH PALTROW - SILOLONA, ESTIMATED $108K PER WEEK

When in the bore, pick up your children and travel to Indonesia – on a yacht! That was just what Hollywood starlet Gwyneth Paltrow did when she sailed in her 164-foot yacht to Indonesia. The 5-cabin luxury yacht has room for twelve people and works with the help of sixteen crew members. It is also the perfect machine for culture lovers. Silolona was billed at a rollicking $108.5K per week.

BILL COSBY - GULFSTREAM IV, ESTIMATED $3.6 MILLION

Bill Cosby's expensive trial might cost him all those things he has amassed so far. But unless he loses a significant portion of the money in legal damages, he still has a private place that allows him to escape the camera vultures. At 80, Bill Cosby has a net worth of $400 million (so far), and a multi-million jet is expected to be among his many assets.

CHRIS BROWN - GULFSTREAM IV, ESTIMATED $110K PER ROUND TRIP

Chris Brown delivers magic all around the world on the back of the Gulfstream IV private jet. It costs him around $110K every time he makes a round trip for social events and vacations. It seems that for all his traveling around, Brown is not entertaining the thought of purchasing his own private jet. Perhaps he just respects the recommendation of his personal financial advisor.

KIRSTY BERTARELLI - VAVA II, ESTIMATED $130 MILLION

A former Miss UK, singer-songwriter Kirsty Bertarelli has an eye for expensive stuff. Being married to a wealthy businessman, Kirsty, and her husband may not need any financial planning whenever they escape on luxurious adventures on board the Vava II. Billed for a checking account price of $130 million, the yacht is said to be the 33rd largest in the world.

Kobe Bryant - Bombardier Challenger 350, Estimated $18 Million

Over the years, Kobe Bryant has managed to become one of the richest athletes of all time. During his collaboration with the Los Angeles Lakers that ended in 2016, as well as his fashion and movie industry projects, he’s earned a net worth of approximately $500 million. How he chooses to spend his assets though is a different subject. On top of owning a Ferrari 458 Italia, a Lamborghini, a Bentley, and a Range Rover, Kobe also owns a private jet - the Bombardier Challenger 350 which is reportedly worth about $18 million. He also has a helicopter for when the traffic is too much to handle- as well as three houses in Orange County.

Triple H - Bombardier Challenger 300, Estimated $26 Million

The COO of WWE Paul Levesque, aka Triple H, was granted quite a few privileges when he married the daughter of Vince McMahon, in 2003. One of those happens to be the free use of the company’s private jet. In fact, Vince’s son-in-law and his wife Stephanie McMahon are reportedly the only ones who use this particular aircraft, which almost makes them the owners.

KATY PERRY – OSCAR II, Estimated $80K PER WEEK

Katy Perry is a pop icon beyond the need for an introduction. The paparazzi generally have their tails up whenever they get a sniff of Katy going out on a yacht vacation. All of us remember the one with the rather revealing Orlando Bloom. With an estimated net worth of $280 million, she has all rights to toss $80K per week for the magnificent Oscar II.

Heidi Klum - Nirvana, Estimated $100K Per Day

Supermodel Heidi Klum recently spent a dream vacation on a luxury yacht in St. Tropez alongside her boyfriend, an art curator, Vito Schnabel. Although the couple rented it only for a day or two, they still had to splash a major sum since a week on this plush yacht costs nearly a million. We wonder if Heidi’s financial advisor even had a say.

Tom Cruise - Gulfstream IV, Estimated $36 Million

A-lister actor Tom Cruise wishes to combine utility with luxury. Therefore, his private jet is a Gulfstream IV, with a capacity of 19 passengers and two crew members. This way, Tom travels in style wherever he wants to go, and with such a plane, he could start his own private travel agency if he so wanted.
