Photos: Inside the £50 million yacht Beyonce and Jay Z used for holiday, owned by Nigeria’s Kola Aluko


Power couple Jay Z and Beyonce recently took a holiday on the Galactica Star, an ultra-luxury yacht reportedly owned by Nigerian energy magnate Kola Aluko.

According to Business Insider, the yacht, which costs £50 million (€65 million, $73 million), is 65 metres in length and can travel at 28 knots (32 mph) in favourable conditions.

The yacht can house up to 12 guests and contains a full-beam master suite, an upper-deck VIP cabin, and four further double cabins.

Beyond this, is a “beach club” with a 10-square-metre balcony, tons of space to entertain guests, and a helipad.

Despite reports that the yacht costs $900,000 a week (£580,000) to charter, Business Insider reported that you have to know Kola Aluko before you can rent the yacht.
