Joe Lewis, a billionaire, has been spending an astonishing amount on his hobbies, amounting to more than 150 million USD.
British billionaire Joe Lewis is the proud owner of the superyacht Aviva, which has an estimated value of $150 million and comes in at number nineteen on the list of the most expensive boats. The yacht features a full-size tennis court and is rumored to be home to some of Lewis’s most priceless works of art, including a Picasso. In addition, the vessel features a variety of luxurious amenities. It is said that the businessman, who was born in East End, currently makes his home aboard the yacht, which also functions as his mobile office.
Apart from luxurious amenities, the yacht also features the first-ever full-size indoor tennis court installed on a yacht, which is particularly useful for the 85-year-old Lewis.
The yacht has become his primary residence and place of business, where he puts in the majority of his waking hours. According to Lewis, effective communication and access to relevant information are essential to his line of work. In order to do his job effectively, he must have access to dependable phones and the internet, both of which have seen improvements over the years but continue to have reliability issues.
Aviva is not just a floating office but also serves as Lewis’s home for most of the year. The yacht is fully equipped to accommodate up to 16 guests and has facilities for entertainment, such as the time when Lewis invited the Spurs team on board during their tour of the Bahamas in 2013. The team had a great experience and found Lewis to be a very welcoming host.
The yacht features a circular set of lounging pads on the sun deck, smaller lounging pads towards the yacht’s bridge, and a swimming platform that can be opened up into the sea.
Additionally, the yacht has tenders, a speedboat, and jet skis on board. Overall, Aviva is a luxury yacht that provides all the necessary amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay, while also serving as a mobile office for its billionaire owner.
