Magic Johnson Rents $1.4M-Week Superyacht for Mediterranean Vacation

NBA legend Magic Johnson is enjoying a lavish summer vacation aboard the superyacht PHOENIX2, a $140 million vessel built by Lürssen Yachts that offers extravagant amenities including multiple pools, a gym, wellness center, cinema halls, and a jacuzzi terrace. The yacht, which can accommodate 12 guests and has a crew of 29, is rented for approximately $1.25 million per week, and Johnson's six-week Mediterranean journey has included stops in France, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and Montenegro. Johnson and his wife Cookie have hosted high-profile friends like Michael Jordan and Samuel L. Jackson, with memorable events such as a Greek-themed toga party on board. Previously, Johnson was seen vacationing on another superyacht called Whisper (formerly Kismet), a 312-foot vessel costing $1.4 million per week to charter, which features a gym, pool, sauna, and private theater. Johnson, worth an estimated $1.5 billion and a successful businessman with stakes in multiple sports teams and companies, continues to work out even while vacationing, sharing videos of himself exercising with stunning ocean backdrops. These luxury experiences underscore Johnson's transition from NBA star to billionaire entrepreneur living a high-profile, opulent lifestyle.
