R Madhavan reveals his priciest purchase is a yacht, it is parked in Dubai: ‘It has brought me closer to nirvana’

What would help you achieve Nirvana? It’s a yacht for R Madhavan. In a recent interview, R Madhavan shared insights into his most significant purchases to date, with his yacht ranking second only to his house.

Madhavan shared his journey of fulfilling a long-held dream of obtaining a captain’s license and owning a yacht. He explained, “The most expensive purchase that I bought is the house that I have. It’s quite expensive. Does a family of three require that big a house? Not at all. But apart from that house the most expensive thing I got was a yacht. I bought it because I always wanted to take a captain’s license and during Covid I had nothing to do so I gave my exam and it took me six months. So, now I am a licensed captain who can sail a 40-foot yacht or a boat and just to scratch that off my bucket list, I bought the yacht and I enjoy it thoroughly.”

Speaking about how the yacht brings him tranquility and spiritual fulfillment, Madhavan shared, he said, “It is a place for me to write. I take it out to the sea and I park overnight, I look at the dolphins fly around as I write my stories, it is the best purchase of my life. It is parked in Dubai. It has brought me a lot closer to nirvana.” A 30 or 40-foot yacht costs anything between $500,000 to $2 million, as per estimates.

Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Madhavan disclosed that he hasn’t accumulated substantial wealth as an actor, as he prioritises being ‘on the right side of the law and pay all his taxes.’ Nevertheless, he expressed pride in purchasing the yacht, as it brings immense joy to him and his family.
