The exorbitant sums professional athletes are paid mean they can afford to splash out on flashy toys. Some splash out a little more than others, though. These eight sportsmen, for example, spent more money on superyachts than all their competitors, according to Boats For Sale CEO Mike Green.
Green has ranked the most expensive yachts owned by sports stars today, showing exactly how much the eight gents were willing to pay for a private oasis at sea. Former boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. topped the list, forking out $200 million for his knockout superyacht. Basketball legend Michael Jordan and pro golfer Tiger Woods landed in second and third place, paying $80 million and $15 million for their yachts, respectively. UFC champ Conor McGregor ranked last but still shelled out $3.6 million for his Tecnomar speed machine.
“Elite athletes often seek the pinnacle of quality and performance, so, when they buy yachts, they’re looking for vessels that match their success and lifestyle, featuring the latest in design, technology, and comfort,” Green said in a statement. “These high-profile purchases not only reflect their personal achievements but also set trends in the luxury market.”
Below are the eight athletes with the priciest superyachts.
