Tiger Woods

NamePrivacy
Value: $20 million*

Tiger Woods spent an estimated $20 million on his supercharged nautical wonder, the aptly titled Privacy, which also serves as his second home. Privacy is 155 feet long and intended for intimate parties of 15 or 20 passengers (rather than large gatherings). However, its capacious rooms, which include five guest rooms, more than compensate for its relatively small size. Woods has been known to live on the Privacy when traveling for golf tours and competitions. While this obviously reduces lodging costs, it is likely only a small portion of the rumored $2 million in annual running costs required to maintain Privacy in working order. Woods swiftly rose to the top of the sporting world (and many Wheaties boxes) after winning back-to-back PGA Tour events. Woods, a famous sports character who has constantly performed well under enormous pressure, continues to challenge the golf world after all these years and championship triumphs.

Elizabeth Taylor

Name: Highlander
Value: $4.99 million*

The Highlander is one of the most classic yachts on this list. The boat has been described as one of the most iconic in the contemporary age, and its guest list fits that description. Liz Taylor was one of the biggest stars of her time, if not the largest, and her guest list didn’t disappoint. It has received well-known actors including Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro, as well as members of the royal family. The massive ship was undoubtedly home to many epic parties. Feadship built Highlander in 1986, and Jon Bannenberg designed it. Highlander was designed for Malcolm Forbes, the publisher of Forbes Magazine. It became, according to Edmiston, a symbol of “big business” as it cruised the East Coast of the United States.
