Inside half a million dollar a week luxury superyacht Kylie Jenner chose to travel to Europe on
Tis the summer of superyachts, and taking the crown this year is Kylie Jenner, with her quarter-of-a-million-dollar boat, as Rihanna and Jeff Bezos also chose the life of luxury As we watched through the lens of her drool-worthy Instagram posts, followers of Kylie Jenner couldn't help but daydream about a 'Euro summer' on a yacht in Greece —until we saw the hefty price tag. Floating somewhere along the Aegean Sea, the billionaire holidayed aboard what can only be described as a floating palace. But it wasn't just any mega yacht, it was the iconic maritime masterpiece known as the Lady Britt. Crafted in 2011, the 207-foot boat was built by the widely known Dutch shipyard Feadship and holds a reputation of her own, thanks to her stunning design and facilities. Of course, just like Kylie herself, the boat was made for the high life and is rumoured to cost an eye-watering $500,000 for one week alone. The yacht is home to an impressive seven staterooms that can host up to 12 guests, not including its 16-person onboard crew, but the magic lies in its indulgent facilities. With an onboard wellness spa, hot tub, gym, and not one but two cinemas, there's no reason to ever leave the Lady Britt, and yet at that price, even the highest-paid celebs wouldn't have much choice. The 27-year-old was joined onboard with her daughter Stormi, aged seven, and other famous friends, as they soaked up everything the Lady Britt had to offer, getting her money's worth. Moreover, there are two Laser Pico sailboats available to explore the seas, along with Jet Skis offering a sense of adventure, and two WaveRunners. If that wasn't enough to make you dream about days spent on a superyacht, then the scuba diving equipment, wakeboards, and kayaks will be sure to set your wanderlust heart on fire. Not forgetting, of course, the yacht limousine transporting guests to and from their chosen travel destinations back to their floating resort. It wasn't just Kylie who chose to set sail this summer. In fact, there seems to be a trend amongst the elite for holidaying on luxury boats, and who better to set an example than pop star Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky? To host a party on the French Riviera, a hotel would not do for the world-famous duo, but instead a 143-foot superyacht known as This Is It. Thought to cost €350,000 a week to rent, the boat was hired for all but a fame-filled party for an A$AP Rocky and Ray-Ban collab, following a Cannes film premiere. Amongst its star-studded attendees were model Barbara Palvin, Kelly Rutherford, and Dylan Sprouse, along with the Barbados singer and the host himself. With a price tag that big, it's no surprise that there are plenty of talking points when it comes to the This Is It yacht. A floating pool, glass tubes filled with real plants, and a bar designed to mimic the skin of an elephant are all the quirky elements that make up this to-die-for rental.

B-Side Bangers: Michael Jackson
Michael Ochs Archives The world may never know a talent as great as Michael Jackson, the globally-recognized superstar that almost 20 years after his tragic death on June 25, 2009 is still considered the undisputed King Of Pop. In the many years since we lost him, this week specifically has become an almost annual tribute to his memory where you'll hear much of his classic hits on the radio and music videos being shared in clips across all social media platforms. It's for that reason and so much more that we had to explore some of the deep cuts of his extensive career for our latest 'B-Side Bangers.' RELATED: B-Side Bangers – Mariah Carey A musician like Michael Jackson transcends time, particular given his long trajectory in the game starting from the ripe age of six singing lead in The Jackson 5 well into those very last days as a 50-year-old man — he died a mere 18 days before his planned This Is It comeback tour was scheduled to begin. From the group to his solo work, there is just something truly amazing about the way MJ's voice matures before our very eyes without ever losing that signature soothing tone that helped him evolve from an R&B prodigy into a worldwide icon. It might seem like an oxymoron to say 'MJ deep cut' when every song he's touched feels like gold — Thriller essentially is an album of number ones! — but there's definitely a few rare gems and often overlooked classics in his catalogue. Even in 2025, his musical imprint finds a way to continue through the recent success of MJ the Musical . Since opening in 2022, the Broadway show based on his life and greatest hits has grossed more than 265 million dollars, garnered multiple Tony Awards and the cast album even received a GRAMMY nomination for 'Best Musical Theater Album.' We will never forget Michael Jackson and the music he gave us for any and all occasions. As you remember the times with the rest of the world, enjoy these rarities that will hopefully make you hear The King Of Pop from a whole new perspective. Collaborations with The Notorious B.I.G. and Stevie Wonder? Scat-rapping over a rock-tinged Isley Brothers sample? The original reference song for 'Thriller' with a whole new song title and chorus?! There was nothing MJ couldn't do! 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool' (1972) Album: Ben 'This Time Around' (feat. The Notorious B.I.G.) [1995] Album: HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I 'Superfly Sister' (1997) Album: Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix – SEE ALSO

Stunning 280ft ‘superyacht of the future' boasting ‘penthouse apartment' with walk-in wardrobe on board' coming in 2035
Guests may also enjoy a unique 'Zen garden' on the main deck, which is completed with skylight at the centre BOAT-IFUL! Stunning 280ft 'superyacht of the future' boasting 'penthouse apartment' with walk-in wardrobe on board' coming in 2035 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DUTCH shipyard has unveiled designs for a "futuristic" superyacht that could rival any luxury penthouse apartment. The 280ft superyacht, called Haven, boasts glass ceilings, layered upper decks and large windows to give the illusion of a grand top-floor suite.

With a tiered wedding cake-style structure, passengers are spread across five decks. There are six guest cabins, which provide accommodation for up to 12 passengers. While 25 crew are accommodated across 13 cabins. As sustainable superyachts become increasingly popular, Haven is set to be powered by green methanol. The net-zero yacht sports a natural theme, with wooden slats and hints of blue. "For the interior, I was inspired by a futuristic and alternative approach, challenging the norms of yacht design, similar to that of Tecomar's This Is It catamaran", said Felix Chapman-Sheath, of CS Yacht Design, who conceptualised the vessel. The open-plan living area is kitted out with palm fronds, stylish furniture and a semi-floating staircase. Guests may also enjoy a unique 'Zen garden' on the main deck, which is completed with skylight at the centre. Deep Sea Dreamer: The World's Most Luxurious Submarine Superyacht The space is situated directly in front of the master suite, separated only by a large sheet of glass. The master bedroom features an off-centred bed with epic views of the sea. There is a separate sofa area, desk, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe and dressing area. In terms of speed, Haven will reach a maximum of 18 knots and will cruise comfortably at 12 knots. This is roughly at the lower end of the scale for average superyacht speeds. 8 The design comes from Dutch shipyard CS Yacht Design Credit: CS Yacht Design 8 There are six guest cabins, which provide accommodation for up to 12 passengers Credit: CS Yacht Design 8 The yacht aims to be net-zero Credit: CS Yacht Design
