A YouTube channel by the name of ‘Luxury Dose’ recently uploaded a video. Taking seven renowned celebrities into account, it did a detailed analysis of the luxurious yachts that are owned by each of them. The first NBA player on the comparison list was Michael Jordan.
The video described how, back in 2019, Michael Jordan spent a whopping $80 million to purchase a superyacht that puts even put several homes to shame. Carrying the name “Mr. Terrible”, the yacht is 70 meters long and boasts eight luxurious cabins, a bar, and a dining room which is catered to by a series of chefs and “mixologists”.
The boat also houses a fully equipped gym, used by the 6 feet 6 player to maintain his physique and stay fit. For those who may not be looking to bulk up, “Mr Terrible” is also home to a cinema room, equipped with a “satellite TV” and many comfy seats.
To keep the spirit of Michael’s favorite sport alive, they also constructed a full basketball court within the yacht’s confines.
The last person to be featured on the list overall was Shaquille O’Neal. In the video, they describe Shaq Diesel’s 440-foot Pershing 72 Superyacht, which is currently priced at $10 Million. The boat boasts a pool equipped with a wet bar. Several hot tubs cover a significant part of the top deck. With over 12 staterooms and a crew of 40 people, the boat can accommodate and serve the expectations of up to 24 guests comfortably. They can enjoy their voyage at the cocktail bar, which houses a beautiful crystal chandelier.
While many are aware of Shaq’s music career as an aspiring DJ and Rapper, most people don’t know that the former player also prefers the piano from time to time. In order to keep that musical spirit alive, they have also placed a musical keyboard within the confines of the luxurious vessel.
Jordan and O’Neil vacation in Europe with close friends.
It was only a few days when Shaq Diesel was seen on the very same boat described above. He made a stop at the coastal city of Mykonos during his musical tour of Europe. The four-time NBA champion was captured relaxing with friends on his high-end purchase.
