J.K. Rowling
Name: Amphitrite
Value: $19.2 million*
In 2015, J.K. Rowling bought the stunning Amphitrite from Johnny Depp for $27 million. Most assume she paid far less for its cutting-edge satellite system, 12-knot cruising speed, and various guest suites. Rowling reportedly sold the ship a year after buying it. At $19 million, sailors can lease this luxury watercraft for $130,000 a week. Rowling is immensely wealthy after adding that to her daily earnings from her Comcast-owned “Wizarding World” portion at Universal Studios. Rowling’s newest projects, including a novel under the alias Robert Galbraith, has kept her away from the water for months. She leads and funds various charity groups that keep her landlocked lately.

Eric Clapton
Name: Va Bene
Value: $10 million*
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Eric Clapton has four of the most costly guitars and a luxury superyacht. In the early 1990s, famed designer Richard Hein created Clapton’s spectacular marine schooner, Va Bene. Clapton believed it cost $10 million in 2005. Va Bene has two Caterpillar engines that can reach 18 knots. Clapton added a master suite, jet skis, and kayaks to its 25-passenger cabin, including 13 crew members. Va Bene’s $10 million price tag is a drop in the bucket for one of music’s most renowned (and successful) superstars, with an estimated $250 million net worth. Clapton is consistently among the top dozen richest musicians ever.
