When it comes to luxury assets, few purchases are as eye-catching as a billionaire’s yacht. For the world’s wealthiest individuals, these vessels serve as private retreats, vacation homes and transportation all rolled into one. 

Many of today’s billionaire-owned yachts cost hundreds of millions of dollars and are customized with features most people only see at high-end resorts. From onboard spas and movie theaters to helicopter pads and sprawling guest suites, these yachts offer a look at how extreme wealth translates into life on the water.

1. Koru — Jeff Bezos

Owner: Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon
Estimated Cost: over $500 million (plus ~$30 million/year to maintain)

Jeff Bezos’s three-masted sailing yacht Koru is one of the most talked-about superyachts in the world. Built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco and delivered in 2023, the 127-meter vessel blends classic sailing tradition with modern luxury. Among its standout features are:

  • Multiple guest staterooms with luxe décor
  • Teak decks and elegant interiors
  • Swimming pool and jacuzzis
  • A support vessel (Abeona) with a helicopter hangar and room for additional guests and toys

More than a boat, it’s a mobile sanctuary for ultra-wealthy travel, capable of crossing oceans in style.

  • Full spa and gym facilities
