JK Rowling's $150M Superyacht Hides Name Amid Protest Fears

https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/09/04/jk-rowling-superyacht-2026/

The same account said the vessel was originally commissioned for LA businessman Eric Smidt, then sold in 2022 to Australian billionaire Brett Blundy, with an estimated value of about $150 million. It suggested the yacht has since changed hands to Rowling.

I wasn't sure what she looked like during an Australian news story mentioning her, and asked if anyone could post a portrait or something to help. Another user helped me out, but the moderators were fun sponges and deleted it.

I thought that the mature measured response was to use it for my pfp, to maximize the views.

It's a superyacht, I don't think people need to be selective. There isn't a single good person owning a superyacht, protest them all.

What a miserable-looking bitch. She could've gone down in history as a beloved children's author, but will instead be remembered as a yet another bigot.

It'll be hard to hide a superyacht anywhere, unless of course she plans to sail the Fairy Bollocks into the Superyacht Harbourâ„¢ and lay low between El Chapo's fuckdinghy and whatever hasn't been confiscated from Putin's hairdresser.
