IN PHOTOS: Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan's 312-foot, $200M superyacht better than a 5-star hotel
Shad Khan is not only one of the richest owners in the NFL but also in the world. The Jacksonville Jaguars owner has a net worth of $12 billion dollars, according to Forbes. Given that massive wealth, his purchase of a $200 million Kismet superyacht was a drop in the hat.
The 312-foot superyacht can cruise at a speed of 14 knots and reach a top speed of 17 knots. When it comes to the design of the yacht itself, it's reminiscent of a high-class hotel, per the website Luxury Launches:
The website said:
"Another eye-catching characteristic is the use of unusual colors and textures that one often notices in a 5-star hotel but seldom in superyachts where nautical themes prevail."
Looking inside the Jaguars owner's yacht, the colors and textures can be seen everywhere:
Kismet, Jaguars owner Shad Khan's superyacht, is for sale.
The asking price is $199,941,319 for the 312-foot yacht, complete with 8 staterooms, a swimming pool, a full-service spa, a retractable outdoor fireplace, and a helipad. https://t.co/NyzsX793M6
The extravagant yacht owned by Shad Khan is a vision that's rarely seen. The thought given in detail is awesome. One such example is the two full-height video walls side-by-side to the staircase leading into the main reception room.
Even the outside of the $200 million superyacht is a one-of-a-kind piece of work.
@AdamSchefter Boat might be an understatement. Shad Khan has a 312-ft, $218M yacht named Kismet (it is currently for sale). https://t.co/KXM2RQTFPG
Shad Khan's yacht can be leased for a weekly cost of $1.2 million. The power couple, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, rented the superyacht for a vacation to Italy in 2018. It also made an appearance in the 2019 Netflix film '6 Underground' starring Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds.
When did Shad Khan buy the Jaguars franchise?
The billionaire purchased the Jaguars in 2011 from longtime owner Wayne Weaver for $760 million. In a press conference, Khan spoke of his dream of owning an NFL franchise.
Khan said:
"Owning a team in the National Football League has long been my personal and professional goal. Becoming the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars would be a dream come true for me and my family but, above all, would be a privilege."
The team has made the playoffs twice since Shad Khan bought the team, including making it to the Divisional Round last season.
