My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent.

After the success of ‘August,’ there were people saying I should change my life. And maybe I should have bought a yacht and traveled the world instead of returning to Steppenwolf to act in and write plays. But I’m from the Midwest, and that’s what we do: We go back to work. Tracy Letts

I have a helicopter that I use for U.K. business trips, and I fly myself. I have a yacht in Antibes in the south of France, which is a sort of indulgence, as we only use it for about four weeks a year. The rest of the time, it is chartered out to people as a business. John Caudwell
I’d like to see Alaska or cross the Atlantic. My father-in-law spent some years crewing luxury yachts from port to port for their owners.

I did a few documentaries as co-director and cameraman. I started off shooting a film about the war in Rhodesia.

Roger Deakins

From the outside, you often only see the person who posts pictures of his yacht. But what Sami Khedira told me about Ronaldo’s professional approach to work, for example, is impressive.

For me, as I suspect for most people, there comes a point where you have enough. If you’ve got ?20 million, why keep going until you’ve got ?100 million or ?1,000 million? Does anyone need another vast yacht or private jet or a house full of gold? Robert Harris

Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa – and it’s about getting a balance. Richard Branson
I haven’t isolated myself. I am not living on a yacht somewhere. I am not tucked away or behind a gate somewhere. I am not flying on a private plane.
