CELEBRITIES are used to traveling in luxury, but when it comes to yachts, they take their lavish lifestyle to another level.
From fashion designer to children’s author, these celebrities own the world’s most expensive superyachts.
Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is just one of the celebrities who loves luxury vacations on a yacht.
Earlier this year he was seen crisscrossing the Mediterranean and Atlantic with models and TV stars by his side, including Love Island beauty Arabella Chi and British catwalk queen Neelam Gill.
Now a study by yacht charter experts Ritzy Charters has revealed the most expensive celebrity yachts owned by big names.

The yacht is 139m long and reaches a maximum speed of 34mph.
It has 82 rooms on board accommodating 18 guests and 55 crew members.
But with a basketball court, wine cellar, cinema, helicopter landing pad, spa and swimming pool, the rooms are the least impressive element.
The yacht has hosted several famous faces over the years, including DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, Steven Spielberg and Barack Obama.
Koru owned by Jeff Bezos
American businessman Jeff Bezos owns the second most expensive celebrity yacht in the world, worth around $500 million (£403 million).

When the yacht is not in use by the author and his family, it can be rented for $90,000 per week.
A spokesperson for Ritzy Charters said: “Luxury yachts are more than just a symbol of wealth; They not only offer incredibly magnificent views, but also a level of privacy to those on board who seek a sense of relaxation that you can’t get anywhere else other than chartering across oceans.
Although most people can’t afford a superyacht vacation, many cruise ships offer fun alternatives.
One of them is Icon of the Seas, which will be the last ship of the Royal Caribbean cruise line.
Icon Of The Seas will accommodate 7,600 passengers on its 20 decks and is expected to depart Miami in January.
