8 Elton John
Wabi-Sabi is Elton John’s superyacht. Westport, an American builder, was hired by the singer to construct the yacht at their Washington shipyard. The yacht was reportedly purchased by the British rock star using his earnings from Coca-Cola commercials, among other lucrative cross-promotions.
Donald Starkey designed the yacht and it was built to Elton’s specifications. It is bright white and has been spotted in some of the most remote places in the world. Accommodation-wise, the yacht is one of the largest on this list. It can house eighteen guests in eight luxury cabins. It is powered by twin MTU engines of 3650 horsepower. This superyacht has a cruising speed equal to 15 yachts.
His own brand of glam rock has earned him an amazing fortune. Elton John’s yacht serves as a reminder of how far he has come in his career since his beginnings.

7 Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell is worth approximately half a billion, thanks to his Fox series American Idol. It makes sense that he would choose one beautiful yacht. Slipstream is his custom-made yacht. It was built in part by CMN Yachts. The yacht can hold twelve people and fifteen crew. You will also find a lovely dining area and a master suite that feels like a hotel.
Cowell’s yacht even features an entry foyer complete with a chandelier and sitting area. Recently, Cowell was seen on the sixty-meter yacht with his young son and his mother. Cowell spends $329,000 per week on his yacht.
Cowell is largely responsible for his wealth thanks to TV programming in the 1990s. Cowell, for example, successfully introduced both Power Rangers as well Teletubbies to American audiences.
