Billionaire author J.K. Rowling owns a superyacht so lavish you must be a millionaire to charter it for 1 week

Billionaire author J.K. Rowling owns a superyacht so lavish that you would need to be a millionaire to charter it for one week.

Anyone not living under a rock is aware of the cultural phenomenon that the Harry Potter series has been.

With books, movies, video games, and theme parks to its name, the franchise has made creator J.K. Rowling a very wealthy woman – with a net worth of around $1.2 billion.

And one way she’s chosen to spend her fortune is on a super luxurious superyacht.

J.K. Rowling has an extremely lavish superyacht

J.K. Rowling is considered one of the most successful authors of all time, thanks to the tremendous success of the Harry Potter series.

The seven books, published between 1997 and 2007, have sold more than 600 million copies around the world.

As the first person to become a billionaire through writing, there’s a lot of cash to spare.

And one way in which she has indulged and treated herself is through this lavish superyacht.

Samsara, built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco and made up of five decks, is a truly majestic vessel.

It’s worth approximately $150 million and costs between $15 and $20 million a year to maintain.

You’d need a lot of vaults in Gringotts Wizarding Bank to store up that kind of money.

This isn’t her first time out on the high seas however, as she’d previously owned Amphitrite, a 156-foot yacht that had once been owned by Johnny Depp and was later sold for $19 million.

Not that there was anything wrong with Amphitrite, but Samsara is a definite upgrade.

Onboard this mighty ship is a top-notch cinema room, a spa decked out with a sauna and steam rooms, a gym, and a circular swimming pool.

Even a bottle of Liquid Luck would struggle to land you with something quite like Samsara.

The Harry Potter author isn’t the only household name to have a yacht

J.K. Rowling isn’t alone in enjoying the high life out on the seas.

Other famous figures are also proud yacht owners, including Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, and Magic Johnson.

It’s not a cheap lifestyle in the slightest, but the views are worth every penny.

Well, we imagine so anyway – like most people, we haven’t spent much time on superyachts recently.
