Here are the voguish voyagers – the celebrities who journey with class and utmost sophistication.

Lady Gaga | Boeing 757 | Estimated $80 Million

When we talk about style and individuality, Lady Gaga is always mentioned. Lady Gaga, formerly known as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, was born on March 28, 1986 in Manhattan, New York, USA. She is an American female singer, songwriter, actor, and philanthropist. She is well-known for her unique and tastefully idiosyncratic ensembles and strong personality. Along with this persona, it is not a surprise that she flies luxuriously as well. To adapt to her crazy celebrity life, the singer has made an investment on a private jet.

Lady Gaga purchased a Boeing 757, which has an estimated market cost of $80 million. This is just one proof of her success! She is an all-around performer, with a number of business ventures to her name as well. It is without question that she could afford her very own aircraft. Now that she is even busier, with acting and music on her plate, the jet will come in handy!

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

Bill Gates is not only one of the wealthiest people in the planet; he is also one of the great pillars of modern day technology. He was a well-known entrepreneur and pioneer of the microcomputer revolution in the 1970s and 1980s. The fact that he owns a private jet isn’t surprising at all. His Bombardier comes with the latest technology, which befits the brains behind Microsoft.

Safety and style are the priorities for him when traveling. Two things that he can easily afford, given his net worth of $89 billion. Bill Gates spent $40 million on the aircraft—barely making a dent in his credit report, we’re sure. We wonder, what does someone like Bill Gates bring along with him during long-haul flights? It’s not hard to imagine the modern genius working and creating even while traveling.

Some its features include a spacious deck, a master suite that comes complete with a marble bathroom, gold-plated furniture and a hot tub. This degree of comfort matches those who have posh taste. Bono isn’t just a musician, he is also a prolific businessman and investor. It’s easy to see why he would want to enjoy his downtime privately and luxuriously, too.

Selena Gomez | Bombardier Challenger 300 | Estimated $250K Per Month

The Barney alumna and Disney darling has come a long way. Elena Gomez has worked with various charitable organizations and was appointed as UNICEF Ambassador at the age of 17. Several years ago, She has bloomed into a fine young woman, and a famous celebrity who is also one of the highest-paid in the industry. Aside from investing money, Selena Gomez also has a few luxuries she gifts herself with.

This includes the private jet she regularly uses for both work and play. While there’s no confirmation of ownership, we can be sure that the beautiful singer pays around $250k a month for it. With that much money, she’s probably better off buying one. Given her net worth and consistent flow of jobs, Selena Gomez can definitely afford to do so. We wonder what her financial advisor thinks of her monthly allowance for the private plane.

Matthew McConaughey | Bombardier Global 7000 | Estimated $72.8 Million

Matthew McConaughey is the ultimate jack of all trades. Not only is Matthew a famous actor, he has also dived into several other aspects of film and entertainment.

Harrison Ford | Cessna 680 Sovereign | Estimated $18 Million

He has more planes than the Grease star, however. Ford has a total of 8 aircraft, which includes both planes and helicopters. Some of these aircraft had been with him since his days working on the set of Star Wars. With his vast collection of aircraft, the actor has also lent a hand in various search and rescue missions. True to his Han Solo character, Harrison has been a knight in shining armor for many.

Outside of music, he also has a luxurious lifestyle to maintain and there’s little doubt about how much hard work he puts into it. After all, a world-class artist requires a degree of grandness when it comes to how he travels. You won’t catch Chris queuing up at the airport! The singer regularly rents private jets to get to his next destination. His constant? A Gulfstream IV, which costs $110k for every round trip. He might as well purchase one for himself given that price.

Mexican pop star Enrique Iglesias is also an avid aviation fan. He signed a number of album deals with Universal Music Group for US$68 million with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish album, and Interscope Records.

Of course, what is a pilot without his ride?

With thanks to his long and productive career, the singer was able to acquire a Gulfstream IV which has an estimated price tag of $3.6 million.

Eastwood was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards for his Western film “Unforgivable” (1992) and the sports drama “Million Dollar Baby” (2004) won Best Director and Best Picture prize. His work in filmmaking and music also shows that he has more to offer other than acting.

He is indeed a powerhouse in the industry. What not many know, however, is that he is also a licensed pilot. He knows how to fly and owns an Aerospatiale A-Star Helicopter, which he drives around himself. Having a net worth of $375 million, the $1.5 million that he had to shell out to purchase this helicopter shouldn’t have dented his bank account at all. Though insurance rates are high, considering the risks involved, Eastwood has been at this hobby for three decades and counting.

Currently, the actress owns a Cirrus SR22, which is a small airplane that can sit around 5 people. The plane isn’t just a personal luxury, however. She was featured in The Queen’s Green Planet, a documentary that showed her as one pilots flying over the Namibian desert.

It does provide the TV personality with the utmost comfort whenever he travels, so it’s small price to pay for traveling in style—right?

Kris Jenner | O’Ceanos | Estimated $185K per Week

Jenner opened a children’s boutique with his eldest daughter Kourtney in 2004. This boutique is called “Smooch”. In 2011, Jenner launched the QVC clothing line Kris Jenner Kollection. Keeping up with the Kardashians is a reality show that has exposed to the world exactly what the high life is. It featured the Kardashian-Jenner Clan, along with their spouses. As the family’s matriarch, the show highlighted how Kris helps keep the family together despite the many different challenges they experienced.

Of course, it also emphasized their lifestyle—including their spending habits. Considering their individual net worth and luxurious tastes, it isn’t surprising to see them drop cash on expensive vacations. Kris rented out an O’Ceanos for $185k per week, during a trip to Greece. The price tag was pretty hefty, but Kris has excellent money management so she knows it’ll be worth it—especially when added as part of a show episode.

Justin Bieber | Gulfstream G4 | Estimated $60 Million

He is considered one of the pioneers of the new Hollywood era and one of the most popular directors and producers in the history of film. Steven Spielberg is the man behind the iconic thriller film Jaws, his love for the ocean is also apparent in the sea craft he has chosen to invest in. We doubt a shark would be able to bite through his gorgeous yacht aptly named, Seven Seas.

Reports suggest that the sear craft cost him $184 million. It comes with various amenities befitting the director and any guests he might have on board. It measures in at 282 feet long and has room for 12. The size doesn’t suit Spielberg, however, as there have been reports that he is still on the lookout for a much bigger vessel! We wonder what other features he wants to add should he find a more spacious craft for his next investment.

The Gulfstream IV had a price tag of around $36 million and can comfortably sit 20 people, along with a crew of 12 people.

Rihanna – Superyacht – Estimated $250K per Week

After signing with Def Jam in 2005, she quickly gained recognition and released her first two studio albums, these two albums both are influenced by Caribbean music and stand out in the top ten in the United States.

She has always loved the water, and now that she can afford so much more, she makes it a point to always visit home. In fact, the singer barely hesitates when it comes to dropping $125k to $350k for a week on a rented yacht. She was also spotted aboard a Superyacht, which cost the artist $250k for a week. While she hasn’t dipped into owning a yacht of her own, we can assume that it will happen one day. The degree of wealth she has been amassing from both music and her businesses will certainly allow her to do so with ease.

Leonardo DiCaprio | Topaz | Estimated $1.3 Million per Week

Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has made a name for himself in the film industry. As of 2019, Leonardo DiCaprio’s films have achieved global box office revenue of 7.2 billion U.S. dollars, and he ranks eighth in the annual ranking of the world’s highest paid actors. He has been in several blockbuster movies and in every one of them, he never failed to bring his A-game.

This is what brought him much success and, of course, wealth. Given that the actor lives a low-profile life, few are aware of how wealthy he really is. It is common knowledge that he owns an island that will be turned into an eco-resort, but what other investments does he have?
For his island, he also has a sea craft. Not just any sea craft, however, because this bachelor prefers to travel in style. Just take the Topaz Superyacht for example. It costs him $1.3 million per week.

Roberto Cavalli | Baglietto Yacht | Estimated $40 Million

Think of it as a part of your personality that has been transformed into a visual, so you can show it off to the world. The character of Roberto Cavalli definitely shines through his designs. The Italian fashion designer is known for his eccentric taste.

It follows that the style of his extravagant sea craft is just as original. He made an investment on a Baglietto Yacht, which measures 134 feet long and can house up to 8 passengers, along with a staff of 4 people. It is colorful and customized according to Cavalli’s preferences. If you have a vision and the resources to get everything done, then why not make it come true?

They bought a Boeing 767-200 and customized it, turning the plain aircraft into the popular Google Jet. The plane has two staterooms and a dining room which can comfortably seat 15 people. Larry and Sergey also have their own bedrooms. Sergey even has a king-sized bed in his! This company investment isn’t something they use for personal luxury, it serves the entire team as well.

The director of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, has made a fortune through his many blockbusters over the years. Given his line of work, he has to travel a lot. Shooting movies can become quite taxing, especially if he has to fly overseas to do it.

It will add to the stress of making a movie, so we’re not surprised about his decision to buy a private jet to fix this problem. With thanks to his excellent money management skill, Peter was able to purchase the Gulfstream G550. It can seat 19 passengers and he even had a studio installed inside the aircraft so he can continue to work while traveling. Aside from luxury, this plane can also boast of efficiency.

It is befitting of his status that he would also own a yacht as chic as he is. His $60 million vessel is 210 feet long, and features a cinema and a gym. It also has room for 12 passengers. We imagine the exclusive parties that happen there are star-studded and undeniably high-class. With his earnings, this purchase shouldn’t even be a problem. His financial advisors certainly made sure that it wouldn’t make a dent in the designer’s overall assets. The purchase is great for business-related matters as well.

The athlete’s net worth is close to a billion dollars, so it only follows that he indulge himself a bit. He does have a reputation for spending big. The boxer invested money in two jet planes: a small one for business trips, and a bigger one for when he decides to bring a posse with him. He really is living the life of the elite. Insurance for his aircrafts will cost him a lot, but the boxer can pay for that without breaking the bank.

Aside from sailing the oceans with his wife, he also flies the skies with utmost style.

Since Jay-Z is also a well-known entrepreneur, he often takes his jet out when he has business trips. When he has gigs out of town, he takes the plane to ensure comfort and efficiency. He bought the Bombardier Challenger 850, which is equipped with a living room, a bedroom, bathrooms and a kitchen. Sounds like a house right? He didn’t even need to take out a loan to get his very own penthouse in the sky. We don’t doubt that Beyoncé loves it just as much!

Phil Mickelson | Gulfstream V | Estimated $60 Million

Champion golfer Phil Mickelson is one athlete who knows how to travel in class. Mickelson is one of 12 players in golf history to win three of the four Grand Slams. He won all the Grand Slam tournaments except the US Open, where he was runner-up six times. Because he has to go to tournaments in different places around the world, it can be taxing on him and affect his game.

To minimize the side effects of flying commercially, he bought his very own Gulfstream V to use for both business and leisure. The plane can seat up to 14 guests comfortably, so he can take his crew and even his family. It even features internet connectivity and a fancy entertainment system. He wouldn’t have to deal with travel fatigue and get ample rest along the way. As an athlete, he needs to recharge often. That’s not a bad investment for someone with this kind of lifestyle.

Mark Cuban | Gulfstream V | Estimated $40 Million

Traveling conveniently is something that celebrities and even the average flyer dreams of. Imagine the privacy and the fact that you can do whatever you want comfortably. For businessmen and women, the ability to work while traveling is a godsend. This why entrepreneur Mark Cuban chose to buy himself a jet plane instead. He is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the chairman of AXS TV. He is also one of the main “shark” investors in the ABC reality TV show “Shark Tank”.

He owns a Gulfstream V and with it, he can go to the next business meeting without breaking a sweat. The plane costs around $40 million in the market. Though he does pay quite a hefty amount of money for the insurance, we’re sure Cuban doesn’t mind. As someone who has spent years in the business, he understands the importance of taking precautions and the value of security.

Neymar da Silva Santos | Cessna 680 | Estimated $10 Million

With the work that he has done in the sport, he has also earned a fortune.

Using some of the money he has earned, Neymar bought himself a fancy new aircraft—a Cessna 680 to be exact. We wonder what his financial advisor thought of this one. After all, this isn’t the first luxury vehicle he has bought. Neymar also owns a helicopter valued at $4 million, a yacht, and a second airplane. These are some expensive purchases, but he can handle the costs of maintaining them. The athlete earns millions every season and likely has business ventures to his name as well.

Seth MacFarlane | Gulfstream | Estimated $50 Million

Thanks to its adult and often dark humor, Family Guy was able to find a solid fan base and gain popularity as time went on. Who would’ve thought that the animated series would win over as many people as it did? For that, we have to give credit to its creator. He is the brains behind the show’s success, after all. Seth MacFarlane started the show in 1999. It has received a number of accolades since and made MacFarlane insanely rich, too.

In 2008, he created his own YouTube series, a cartoon comedy team called Seth MacFarlane. He has won multiple awards for his work on “Family Guy”, including five Primetime Emmy Awards and an Annie Award. Through his earnings, he was able to acquire a Gulfstream worth $50 million. With the nature of his work, it’s easy to see why he thought this would be better than commercial flights. Comfort and privacy must be among his priorities.

JK Rowling | Amphitrite Yacht | Estimated $28 Million

Before landing a publishing deal for her books, JK Rowling had been rejected multiple times. Today, however, she is one of the wealthiest people in the world. The Harry Potter author has come a long way from her humble beginnings, when she was still trying to make a name for herself. She has made quite a fortune, thanks to the boy wizard. Her sales in the UK totaled more than 238 million pounds, making her the best-selling living writer in the UK. In the 2020 Sunday Times Rich List, Rowling’s wealth is estimated at £795 million.

Using some of that money, she purchased the Amphitrite Yacht, which is worth roughly $28 million. Investment planning doesn’t always mean going into business. Sometimes, it is also investing in oneself as well. The luxury vessel boasts 5 cabins, a master bedroom, water sports gear, and an entertainment system with a satellite TV. The Art-Deco ship can host up to 10 passengers.

Tracy McGrady | Falcon 2000 | Estimated $27 Million

Tracy McGrady is a former professional basketball player in the United States, known for his career in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Former basketball superstar Tracy McGrady gets credit for being the first athlete from the NBA to purchase himself a private jet. Ever since he made this extravagant buy, a number of other players bought themselves one as well. He set the trend, though some question his purchase given his current financial status.

Financial experts say that with his net worth of $70 million, the jet plane was too expensive. However, others speculate that the Falcon 2000 he bought for around $27 million was more of a business pursuit rather than a personal luxury. He may have had plans to rent it out in order to earn more. If these reports are true, then McGrady actually made a smart business move.

Billy Joel | Vendetta | Estimated $1.2 Million

Musical legend Billy Joel is well-known when it comes to his passion for music and creating it. As a solo singer since the 1970s, he has released 12 studio albums, with more than 150 million records sold all over the world. His album Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2 compiled in 1985 is one of the best-selling albums in the United States. However, did you know that he also has a strong interest in boats? He is a big fan of sailing and at one point, even had five boats to his name.

Considering the amount of insurance he would have to pay for each one, the singer eventually sold four off. His prized vessel would be Vendetta. The yacht measures in at 57 feet long and was acquired this for $1.2 million. He didn’t even need to borrow money for this purchase. The piano man has earned a significant fortune from the music industry, which enables him to indulge his different interests without worry.

39. THE EDGE | The Cyan | Estimated $12 Million

David Evans, better known as ‘The Edge’ from the band U2 has been a member of the group since its establishment, and he has recorded 14 studio albums and a solo record with them.

With 6 cabins, an entertainment system, and a gym, the boat promises an exquisite time to its passengers. Evans also rents out the yacht for $192k a trip. Not only is it a treat for the band member, the purchase will also provide a good return on his investment. It’s a smart move to make it a business venture too. After all, as a musician, he’s often out performing instead of relaxing on The Cyan.

Magic Johnson | Gulfstream G-III | Estimated $40 Million

Johnson is generally considered the best point guard of all time and one of the greatest players in NBA history. He played for the Lakers for 13 seasons. Being an athlete is a fairly short-term career, even if you’re a legend like Magic Johnson. While he remains highly-respected as an artist, he moved on to becoming a businessman after retiring from the sport.

He did earn a fortune from his athletic career, but he grew his money even more when he delved into various ventures. As a prolific businessman, traveling became an essential and what better solution for that than his own private jet? He made the investment and purchased a Gulfstream G-III for $40 million. While he has since traded in big parties for the serious workplace, we’re sure he still takes family and friends traveling with him aboard his sleek aircraft. A man has to work hard and play hard, after all.

Arnold Schwarzenegger | Gulfstream III | Estimated $35 Million

Arnold Schwarzenegger was already a big name in the film industry before he entered politics. Schwarzenegger started lifting weights at the age of 15 and won the title of Mr. Universe at the age of 20, and then won the Mr. Olympia competition seven times. When he was the governor of Sacramento, he needed to travel to and from Los Angeles to shoot his movies as well. Because of this predicament, he bought a Gulfstream III for about $35 million.

Being a famous personality, a commercial plane didn’t provide him with enough privacy and comfort. He also had a tight schedule to keep up with, so the private jet was a good investment on his part. Schwarzenegger might spend big, but did you know he declined the governor’s paycheck when he was in office? He had already earned a huge net worth by that point, and only wanted to serve the people.

Sergio Garcia | Hawker 850 | Estimated $16 Million

Sergio Garcia is one of golf’s biggest stars. He has played all around the world and made a name for himself through his skill and talent.

He owns a Hawker 850 that has an estimated cost of $16 million. Though it is a bit of an expense, it comes with plenty of benefits. Sergio would be able to travel in comfort and won’t have to worry about missing his flight.

Her guests will surely have a grand time as well, since the sea craft provides the highest degree of comfort possible.

Tiger Woods | Privacy| Estimated $20 Million

Tiger Woods is, arguably, one of the most popular golfers in the world. By the end of April 1997, he had won three PGA Tour events, with the exception of his first Grand Slam, the 1997 Masters, with a record score of 12 wins. He is not only a well-known athlete, but he has also become a very public personality. Nonetheless, he does his best to keep his private life separate from the sport.

The paparazzi can be persistent, however, and end up invading his privacy anyway. It is quite fitting that after his bout with the media, the athlete opted to invest in a luxury yacht aptly named “Privacy”. The boat boasts of great features like a gym, a cinema, a lounge bar, a jacuzzi, water sports gear, and jet skis. It can accommodate up to 21 passengers, allowing Tiger to bring his kids and friends along for the ride.

He made these purchases not just for himself, but for his family as well. Though he is famous for living the high life and indulging in the finer things, he takes great care of his family too. In fact, he brings his son Asahd with him when he goes on trips or performances. They spend a lot of their time bonding aboard their Gulfstream G2.

His time in the entertainment industry has earned him a fortune, and it is with this wealth that he was able to buy himself a private jet.

The actor is actually a licensed pilot and can fly the jet himself. In fact, he received his license when he was only 20 years of age.

Michael Schumacher | Falcon 200 | $22 Million

Not only is he one of the best drivers in the field, he is also one of the wealthiest. The race car driver currently has a whopping net worth of $800 million.

With 7 World Championships to his credit, it does not come as a shock that he could afford a luxury aircraft. Seeking style and comfort, he acquired a Falcon 200 for $22 million. If he’s not burning rubber on the track, you can find him jetsetting around the globe aboard his aircraft. We wonder if he’s ever considered getting a pilot license on top of his racing one. Then again, planes don’t nearly fly as fast as his cars—so he might find them too slow.

His career in Major League Baseball (MLB) earned a total of $441.3 million, the highest in baseball history.

Being a professional athlete and celebrity, Rodriguez is no stranger to the finer things in life. He made an investment toward purchasing a Gulfstream IVSP for his personal use. The private jet services the baseball player when he needs to go to a meeting or a vacation. The Gulfstream IV was acquired for $3.6 million, which may be a big sum to most, but was an expense that was worth it for the superstar. Not only can he take his family and friends up in the air, but he can do it in style.

Kendall Jenner | Axioma | $500K per Week

The expensive vessel has a market value of $68 million and features a helipad, a swimming pool, jet skis, an entire cinema, and a massive 2-floor living room. It can host grand parties and makes for a luxurious summer getaway too. No wonder Kendall was enamored by it.

He is known for co-founding Facebook and serving as its chairman, chief executive officer and controlling shareholder. Facebook has become a staple for just about everyone and Zuckerberg gets credit for its huge success.

Owning one of the world’s biggest companies also gives him access to the Facebook Jet. When traveling for business, which he does a lot, the cost of his flights usually add up to $700k a year. We’re sure he spends much less now, given his investments in the $10 million private aircraft. We wonder if the plane provides internet connectivity for its passengers to check their Facebook accounts. Given that that he is an important personality, the Facebook jet affords him both security and privacy.

Richard Branson | Falcon 900EX | Estimated $43.3 Million

Branson expressed his desire to become a young entrepreneur. His first business at the age of 16 was a magazine called Student. In 1970, he established a mail order record company.

Aside from this, he also does a lot of charity work as part of his corporate social responsibility. One of the companies that is in his name is Virgin Atlantic airline. This means he spends a lot of his time in the air. He is also into aviation and owns a Falcon 900 EX, which is worth $43.3 million. With his successful investments, he can easily buy two more.

Larry Ellison | Gulfstream V | Estimated $59 Million

Another billionaire on the list is Larry Ellison. Oracle’s CEO is no stranger to a life of extravagance. As of October 2019, he was named the fourth richest man in the United States and sixth richest in the world by Forbes magazine, with a wealth of US$691 billion, an increase from US$54.5 billion in 2018. He has a net worth of $54 billion so you can only imagine the kind of luxuries that he can afford. The amount of investment planning it would take to get this kind of money in your bank account must be extensive.

With all his business meetings and luxury vacations, he purchased a Gulfstream V to travel with. The jet plane costs $59 million, but it was an easy purchase for someone as wealthy as him. Flying commercially, even in first class, can never compete with the comforts that this aircraft can bring. Not only is it private, but his every whim can also be accommodated.

Rupert Murdoch | Gulfstream 550 | Estimated $42.9 Million

Rupert Murdoch is an Australian-born American media giant. Through his News Corporation, he is the owner of hundreds of local, national and international publishing organizations worldwide.

This includes his different properties, vehicles, and other assets to his name. Also on this list? His Gulfstream 550. The private jet that he acquired costs $42.9 million in the market. If you think that’s a lot of money, wait until you hear that he has an entire fleet of private planes. We’re sure each one serves a specific purpose, whether it be personal or business. The Tycoon probably collects planes in the same way some of the wealthiest collect cars.

Ariana Grande | Gulfstream G650 | Estimated $58 Million

Grande is an American singer and actress. Her career began at the age of 15. She began her career in the 2008 Broadway musical. Ariana Grande went from being a Nickelodeon darling to a huge pop star.

Though she is still in her 20s, she has earned a lot from her successful music career and regularly flies on private jets.

Whether she owns one is still unclear, but she has the investment money to purchase an aircraft for herself. The singer often opts for Gulfstream G650, prized at $58 million, whenever she needs to travel for work and leisure. With this aircraft, she not only travels in style but also privacy. She doesn’t have to be late for her shows too. We all know her fans are anxiously waiting.

Jerry Bruckheimer | Gulfstream IV | Estimated $32 Million

He has received major credit for films like Top Gun and the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series. During the 2000’s, he even had ten shows all actively being broadcasted! It’s safe to say that his work has been a huge success. This also means that he needs to travel often, which is why he invested in a Gulfstream IV. The private jet cost around $32 million, but it is worth it. After all, it allows him to travel comfortably and be more efficient with his time. Bruckheimer is always cooking something up and we’re sure he works even while he’s flying.

Sir Philip Green | Lionheart | Estimated $150 Million

When the tycoons walk, the money definitely talks. Sir Philip Green is the chairman of the Acadia Group, which owns brands such as Top Man and Top Shop. Green served as Chairman and CEO of Amber Festival from 1998 to 1992. In 1999, he acquired Sears plc, and in 2002 he acquired Arcadia Group for £840 million. With some of the most popular shops in the world under his ownership, it follows that Green has a huge amount in his bank account.

He parties like no one else and he reportedly even hired Destiny’s Child to perform a show during his son’s Bar Mitzvah. He also got Rihanna to sing at his daughter and nephew’s birthday party celebration. For his 50th birthday party, he invited 200 friends over who were flown in for a three-day celebration. He has also placed investment money on the Lionheart yacht, which can accommodate up to 12 guests.

Judith Scheindlin | Triumphant Lady | Estimated $6.9 Million

Also no stranger to exquisite accommodations and luxury vacations, she purchased the Triumphant Lady, a super yacht that is 154 ft. long. The vessel was built in 1985 by Sterling Yachts. On top of this, Bannenberg and Rowell designed the boat’s beautiful exterior. She purchased the vessel for $6.9 million, which her financial advisor probably agreed to. After all, with the stress she experiences on her show, Judge Judy deserves a quiet tropical trip whenever she wants to. The aptly named Triumphant Lady is a purchase that she and her family can enjoy thoroughly.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen | Bombardier Challenger 300 | Estimated $26 Million

He married supermodel and TV star Chrissy Teigen, and together they have earned a sizable bank account to support their family.

They used to fly commercial, but in recent years, the couple have taken to renting a Bombardier Challenger 300. Since they constantly travel for work and for leisure, this is a wise financial move. They would be able to go anywhere without worrying about their privacy and security. The aircraft costs $26 million on the market and they could easily purchase one if they practiced money management.

Tyga | Dassault Falcon 50 | Estimated $22 Million

Tyga is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, and TV personality. After several independent releases, Tyga signed a recording contract with Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records in 2008. Though the rapper Tyga is often present in star-studded parties and likes to show off grand assets, his current net worth is only around $5 million.

While not a small number, he remains notorious living a luxurious life that he may not always be able to afford. Such is the case with his regularly rental of a Dassault Falcon 50. The private jet has a market price of $22 million and likely costs upwards of $100,000 to rent per trip. Sure, he doesn’t have his own private jet but Tyga can boast about owning luxurious sports cars and hosting the biggest parties, too. We just hope he isn’t living beyond his means and exercises a bit of investment planning as well.

Gwyneth Paltrow | SILOLONA | Estimated $108K per Week

The SILOLONA is a luxurious yacht that measures in at 164 ft. long. It was built by Konjo Boat Builders and was designed by Kasten Marine Design.

One of the big names that like to rent it regularly is movie star Gwyneth Paltrow.

She is an American actress, businessman and writer. Her work has won many praises, including Oscars, Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys. The actress has been seen a few times aboard the SILOLONA, clearly enjoying herself. With a successful career like hers, a much-needed private vacation like this is something that she deserves. With the go signal of her financial advisors, renting out this yacht shouldn’t leave a dent in her savings.

Victoria and David Beckham | Bombardier Challenger 600 | Estimated $35 Million

Beckham has consistently ranked among the highest-paid countries in football and was listed as the world’s highest-paid player in 2013, earning more than $50 million in the past 12 months. It gave them fame in their respective fields and a sizable individual net worth.

Given their posh lifestyle, don’t expect these celebrities to fly commercial. They often charter private jets, including the gorgeous Bombardier Challenger 600. With it, they are able to travel safely and in style. The plane costs a cool $35 million in the market—a number the Beckhams can easily afford without the need to borrow. However, for now, the family chooses to rent instead of making the commitment and purchasing one. Perhaps it’s the steep insurance fees that’s keeping them from doing so? Maintaining private planes don’t come cheap, after all.

With good money management, he’ll surely be able to invest in his hobby more.

Jimmy Buffett | Grumman HU-16 Albatross | Estimated $62K

Some people have yachts, while others have planes. For Jimmy Buffet, however, he wanted the best of both worlds. The Grumman HU016 Albatross made history when it first hit the headlines, and it was exactly the thing that celebrity Jimmy Buffett was looking for. Buffett is not only engaged in music, but also a best-selling author, and participated in two restaurant chains named after his two most famous songs.

Named Hemisphere Dancer, the singer-songwriter reportedly paid an estimated $62k for the amphibious aircraft. Given his net worth, Buffett likely bought it without any hesitations. The plane is as much a celebrity as the man himself. In fact, it takes on a big role in his memoir, A Pirate Looks at 50. If Buffet stays as youthful as he is now and makes sure his health insurance is up to date, he and Hemisphere Dancer will certainly go on more adventures.

Karl Lagerfeld | Boeing Business Jet | Estimated $80 Million

Though he has a ton of wealth under his name, McMahon made the decision to purchase the plane through a bank loan for unknown reasons. This move is probably a part of financial planning strategy. The Bombardier Global 5000 boasts the ability to transform into a home or an office. The aircraft’s interior is designed to be comfortable and provide ample rest to passengers. It has a soundproof cabin and a kitchen to top it off. It can accommodate 19 passengers, which means he can also conduct business meetings there.

Suri Cruise | Gulfstream IV | Estimated $7 Million

Former power couple Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise may no longer be a thing, as the two now lead their separate lives with different partners, but their daughter Suri remains one of the most-watched celebrity child.

His albums have been constant hits and with his very successful career, he has already amassed a net worth of $105 million in just a decade. Using a bit of the investment money he has earned, Bruno bought himself a private jet. Hopefully, the purchase of his Gulfstream G550 had the approval of his financial advisors because some argue that this was an expensive purchase for the star. Even so, judging by the photographs, he is making full use of his own private plane.

Soulja Boy | Gulfstream G550 Business | Estimated $55 Million

Nonetheless, the Gulfstream G550 Business he was supposed to have bought is certainly top class. It has an estimated price tag of $55 million and we’re sure that in time, as well as good money management Soulja Boy would be able to get one for himself.

She must have made quite a fortune from being on TV and films as she was once spotted lounging on a beautiful yacht while on vacation. We know chartering a yacht isn’t cheap and we doubt she took out loans just for this purpose. On Instagram, Nina also shared photos of her and her friends aboard the L’ALBATROS, a super yacht that costs up to $100k for a week of rent. Given her jetset lifestyle, we hope Nina never forgets to get travel insurance. By doing so, she would be able to enjoy herself to the fullest without worry.

In fact, his collection of artwork amounts to millions, and to be able to afford this much says a lot. He has also made an investment toward purchasing the Rising Sun, a mega yacht that costs $200 million. The boat is 454 ft. long and houses the most luxurious amenities.

This includes expensive vacations and chartering a yacht. She was once photographed on the Utopia III, a luxury yacht reportedly owned by her former beau Casper Smart. It comes with a swimming pool and can comfortably accommodate 10 guests, with enough room for a crew of 9. While she has yet to invest in a sea craft of her own, we don’t doubt that she is more than capable of doing so.

Cristiano Ronaldo | Africa I | $7 Million

Cristiano Ronaldo has been given credit for being one of the best football players in the world and he didn’t earn this title by chance.

He is not only an American businessman, politician, philanthropist and writer but also the main shareholder and co-founder of Bloomberg.

Though he has a lot of money to his name, his aircraft is not as expensive as the other billionaires’. His Mooney Bravo is only $169k and it is his favorite among his collection. Bloomberg is also a licensed commercial pilot so he would be able to use that skill to further his advocacy. With his projects, he helps others fly along with him.

With his net worth of $120 million, the actor can easily purchase it for himself. He can take it to performances or bring his family on vacations.
