When you are the world’s biggest stars you can travel the world in style and comfort that most common people can only dream about, If it is for business or pleasure these stars spent a fortune buying their private yachts and jets, customizing them to their needs and desires and making sure the world knows it. A few have the flight bug and not only pilot their own jets, they also collect them. Others prefer the ocean and crystal clear waters and built a floating hotel on the water that has all the latest gadgets and luxuries. Either way, we can only assume their financial advisers are not too happy about it as both Yachts and Jets are not considered a smart investment. Check out these 33 beautiful toys! 1. Angelina Jolie – Cirrus SR22, Estimated $650K Although the award-winning actress deserves to be on this list, she is not like the others. She doesn’t own a luxury jet, rather, she has a small Cirrus SR22 plane that can carry 4 or 5 people. She has a pilot’s license and she probably just wants it for her amusement, or to avoid a particularly bad traffic jam. 2. Roberto Cavalli – Baglietto Yacht, Estimated $40 Million One could tell something about this yacht’s owner just by looking at it. The “Baglietto” yacht is a colorful, custom-built 134-foot long ship with room for 8 guests and a crew of 4. It belongs to the eccentric -as if there is another kind- fashion designer Roberto Cavalli who naturally could not have a conventional yacht. 3. Chris Brown – Gulfstream IV, Estimated $110K Per Round Trip When it comes to outrageous celebrity-owned private jets, we simply have to mention the one occasionally rented by American singer, actor, and songwriter, Chris Brown. The rapper has been present in the music industry for more than a decade, so his online savings account was loaded enough for him to party while enjoying in a luxurious rental business jet, the Gulfstream IV. Chris pays around $110K per flight until he gets his own private jet. 4. Tom Hanks – ENIGMA, Estimated $275K Per Week We all love Tom Hanks, especially for his role as Jimmy Dugan in the 1992 comedy movie A League of Their Own. Of course, we also remember him in iconic movies like Forrest Gump and Philadelphia. You simply have to love him. The actor and his wife Rita Wilson recently looked into their credit card monitoring and decided to celebrate their wedding anniversary while sailing on a luxury rental yacht named ENIGMA. For this romantic getaway, they had to pay $275K per week. Continue for Leonardo DiCaprio, Harrison Ford & More! 5. Leonardo Dicaprio – Bombardier Challenger 300, Estimated $250K Per Month It’s Leo again! Not only does the actor like renting Superyachts, but he also loves renting out his own private jet. With his net worth of $245 million, he can fly back and forth in a Bombardier Challenger 300 which has a price tag of at least $40,000 per flight. 6. John Travolta – Boeing 707, Estimated $4.5 Million The famous actor is a well-known aviation enthusiast. He holds a pilot’s license so it is not really a surprise that he has a small collection of aircraft in his private airport/home in Florida. His hobby has turned into an investment of more than $50 million as he owns 4 airplanes. The Boeing 707 is no longer his property as he donated it to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, not surprising for an actor known for charity and philanthropy. 7. BONO – Kingdom Come, Estimated $22 Million The frontman of U2 and one of the richest musicians in the world has made large donations to charity but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t splash some cash on his own comfort. When he went shopping for a yacht, he paid an estimated $22 million for the 198-foot-long “Kingdom Come” which is more similar to a luxury hotel than a ship. Master suite, enormous deck, marble bathroom, hot tub and gold-plated furniture ensure he sails like a prince. 8. Harrison Ford – Cessna 680 Sovereign, Estimated $18 Million Another certified pilot, Harrison Ford has been into flying since his Star Wars days. He owns 8 different aircraft, both airplanes and helicopters and even helps with search and rescue missions when needed. Unfortunately, he has been involved in a number of accidents and we hope the famous actor has made a will and has a life insurance as flying can prove quite deadly. 9. Celine Dion – Bombardier Global Express, Estimated $42 Million A successful, independent woman like the singer Celine Dion knows what she wants and she has the bank account to get it. She paid around $42 million for her own luxury jet which comes with an all-leather interior, room for as much as 14 passengers and a kitchen where her chef prepares her meals. A lesser celebrity would soon go bankrupt, with yearly costs at around $3 million! The Iconic Kurt Russell & Matthew McConaughey Up Next 10. Kurt Russell – Socata TBM700, Estimated $3.6 Million After 45 years in the public eye, American actor Kurt Russel is accustomed to being in the spotlight. Recently, he caught the attention of the public when he got himself a private jet – Socata TMB700 jet. Well people, don’t be that surprised. Remember that the veteran actor is an FAA-licensed private pilot with even three different level certificates. His business plan perfectly matched his desire of owning a private jet, and we are glad that this certified pilot finally has a private jet of his own. 11. Jerry Seinfeld – Gulfstream V, Estimated $22 million Jerry Seinfeld is famous for portraying a semi-fictional version of himself in the iconic American sitcom, Seinfeld. The comedian, actor, producer, and director developed an interest in stand-up comedy after brief stints in college productions. He has been in the comedy business since 1976, always making us laugh. Jerry doesn’t need a bank loan when it comes to purchasing some luxurious stuff like his private jet, Gulfstream, which is estimated around $22 million. 12. Jackie Chan – Embraer Legacy- Estimated $20 Million The Chinese actor who currently holds the ‘World Record for Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor,’ Jackie Chan is a well-known name in the Hollywood movie industry. As a man of action, we’re not shocked that he is a big fan of flying. The actor consulted with his wealth management advisor before purchasing a luxurious private jet, Embraer Legacy. We bet the insurance for this baby is not an issue for Jackie. 13. Justin Bieber – Gulfstream G4, Estimated $60 Million What is a better way to show that you are in fact a real big star than to get your own private jet? That must have been Justin Bieber’s thought when he made the financially risky decision to buy his own Gulfstream G4. He might not be facing imminent bankruptcy but with a price tag of $65 million and millions in insurance, storage, and maintenance every year, Bieber’s net worth of $200 million doesn’t seem that high. 14. Steven Spielberg – Seven Seas, Estimated $184 Million We thought the director of Jaws would stay away from the sea but that is not the case. Not only has Steven Spielberg bought a 282 feet yacht, he is going shopping for a bigger one! He purchased the “Seven Seas” thinking it would suffice but apparently, he needs accommodation for more than 12 people. We assume the new one will also have a helipad, a spa, a gym and an infinity pool/cinema! 15. Tom Cruise – Gulfstream IV, Estimated $36 Million One of Hollywoods biggest stars cannot lessen himself with public transportation so Tom Cruise acquired an airborne limo, a Gulfstream IV to go wherever his business needs take him in the manner appropriate for a man of means. The jet has room for 19 passengers and a crew of 2. We guess after his divorce from Katie Holmes, the flights must be lonely for Tom. 16. Selena Gomez – Bombardier Challenger 300, Estimated $250K Per Month Selena Gomez keeps surprising us with her talent and beauty. The talented singer and actress is capable of keeping all eyes on her wherever she goes. It is unclear whether he owns her own private jet, but her fans were surprised to see her enjoying a luxurious private jet. She shared some pictures on her Instagram account. Since her career is going in the right direction, we believe that her financial advisor will support her if she decides to purchase her own luxury jet. 17. Matthew McConaughey – Bombardier Global 7000, Estimated $72.8 Million The Texas-born actor has been a leading man in the Hollywood industry since he starred in some critically-acclaimed dramas before he topped the box office in several romantic comedies. The Oscar-winning actor didn’t need a bank loan to purchase a brand new private jet – a Bombardier Global 7000 for an astonishing $72.8 million! His private jet is the longest as well as the largest business jet ever made that features a master suite, kitchen, and much more. 18. Kirsty Bertarelli – Vava II, Estimated $130 Million Kirsty Bertarelli is most known as the wife of Ernesto Bertarelli and as a former Miss UK. She is a British singer, songwriter, and philanthropist. Her husband ranks 6th on the list of UK’s wealthiest, so Kirsty is currently Britain’s richest woman, thanks to her husband’s bank account. It is not surprising that she has an eye for luxury items, and her personal favorite is her private yacht Vava II which is worth around $130 million.The yacht is 33rd largest in the world. 19. Simon Cowell – Gulfstream G550, Estimated $61.5 Million Simon Cowell treasures the vast fortune he has now since he was allegedly bankrupt at some point. His private jet has quite the price tag to it for it is worth a whopping $61.5 million! Let’s hope his financial advisor guided him well through this purchase so he can keep growing his $550 million net worth. 20. Jim Carrey – Gulfstream V, Estimated $59 Million Jim Carrey, the talented actor, and comedian purchased a Gulfstream V, costing almost $60 million. For an actor who has a few years to score a major hit and with an estimated net worth of $150 million, it seemed like poor financial planning and a recipe for bankruptcy. He doe offer the luxury aircraft for charter services a mere $8,000 per hour, so maybe it is an investment instead of a money sink. 21. Jay-Z – Bombardier Challenger 850, Estimated $40 Million The yacht is for pleasure but the jet is mostly for business. Kind of. The Bombardier Challenger 850 Learjet is like a sky hotel room with a bedroom, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a living room. They do use it for concerts and tours so despite the luxury, perhaps Jay-Z’s accountant can write it off as a business expense? 22. Arnold Schwarzenegger – Gulfstream III, Estimated $35 Million The veteran actor and politician didn’t care much for luxury and got the just-the-basics edition of the Gulfstream III. He purportedly needed it to commute between his house in Los Angeles and his office in Sacramento while he was Governor of California. With a bank account already loaded, Arnie refused the gubernatorial paycheck, which, although not enough to save the state from bankruptcy, was a decent gesture on his part. 23. Billy Joel – Vendetta, Estimated $1.2 Million Billy Joel is well known for his love of boats, in fact, at one point in his life he owned 5 of them. But the famous musician has singled one out as his favorite and that is “Vendetta”, a 57-foot long yacht made in a classic style. Don’t let its appearance fool you, though as it is equipped with everything a modern yacht needs, tech-wise. Furthermore, priced at $1,2 million, it wouldn’t require a bank loan to purchase, at least for Billy Joel! 24. Gisele Bundchen & Tom Brady – Gulfstream G550, Estimated $50 Million The Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen and the American quarterback Tom Brady live, work, vacation and visit family all over the world. So a private jet was a good investment for the famous couple. A glossy, black Gulfstream G550 allows them to go wherever they need while avoiding the hassle of commercial flights. Showing off that they can travel in luxury is an added bonus. 25. Taylor Swift – Dassault Falcon 900, Estimated $40 Million The country singer has not one but two private jets. The Falcon 900 can carry Taylor and 11 of her people on long flights while the Falcon 50 has 9 passenger seats and she uses it for shorter trips. It’s quite amazing, considering not many people have the kind of money to afford two planes by the age of 27 but besides a talented musician, she also has a good sense for making money. She has multiple product endorsements and partnerships and designed her own line of various products. 26. Seth MacFarlane – Gulfstream, Estimated $50 Million Seth MacFarlane is frequently criticized that his series only appeal to college kids that smoke marijuana but their success is undeniable. The creator of Family Guy has been making money hand over fist since his shows began in 1999 and the way things are going, bankruptcy for him is less likely than sprouting wings. He can fly though, as he bought a shiny Gulfstream private jet to travel like a true Hollywood star. 27. Diane von Fürstenberg – Eos, Estimated $100 Million The three-masted luxury schooner perfectly represents its owners. It has tons of style and elegant design like the famous fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and is expensive and opulent as would fit her husband, the billionaire Barry Diller. There is room for 16 guests and a crew of 21 men is required for things to run smoothly. 28. Beyonce’ & Jay-Z – Galactica Star, Estimated $70 Million A music power couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z chartered the yacht “Galactica Star” and fell in love with the 213 feet long vessel. And how could they not? The ship is floating mansion with custom-built VIP guest rooms, a beach club, swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna, a sundeck and a helipad. There is a separate master suite for the owners. Still, the $70 million they paid plus insurance and maintenance might not have been a good investment compared to the $900K/week to charter. 29. Dave Coulier – Beechcraft Bonanza B35, Estimated $815K Dave Coulier is a very successful actor who is known for his comedic ways. Aside from owning a Beechcraft Bonanza B35 which is a luxury jet, he also knows how to fly it. He’ been flying planes since he was 15 and finally became a licensed pilot at 20 years old. 30. Bella Hadid – JetLux, Estimated $100K Per Trip Bella Hadid, just like other “it girls,” is always seen posing in front of private luxury jets during her travels. She’s lucky because her trips are all sponsored, so she’s able to keep a lot of money in her savings account. Just posting a photo of her with the jet on her Instagram saves her big bucks of $100,000. 31. Kris Jenner – O’Ceanos, Estimated $185K Per Week The Kardashians are known for their lavish lifestyle since it seems like they have all the money in the world. What you may not know is that Kris Jenner took luxury vacations to a whole new level when she got a 162-foot Superyacht when they went on a vacation in Greece. It apparently costs $185,000 to rent the huge yacht for a week. 32. Tim McGraw – Cirrus SR22, Estimated $650K Tim McGraw is a country music superstar and another rich name who loves riding in his own plane. He took out around $650,000 from his bank account to be able to purchase his own customized Cirrus SR22. His aircraft has embroidered seats and had a “faith” stick in honor of his wife, Faith Hill. 33. Dr.Dre – Naia, Estimated $580K Per Week Dr. Dre is one the rappers who have the biggest bank accounts out there, so don’t expect him to be living a simple life. Every time he goes on vacation, he charts the 241-foot Superyacht called Naia. Since it has its luxury amenities like a VIP suite and entertainment facilities, it is said to have a price tag of $580,000 per week.
