Rowling's $150 million yacht.

Harry Potter author JK Rowling was forced to cover the name of her superyacht while moored in Marina del Rey harbor, according to a new report.
The beloved author has endured a storm of protests since expressing 'deep concerns' about transgender activism in an essay June 2020.
She celebrated on the deck of a boat after a UK ruling that decided the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex in April 2025
She rose from homelessness to become one of the most celebrated children's writers of all-time.
It was originally commissioned for LA businessman Eric Smidt, the billionaire who founded Harbor Freight Tools.
At some point since, it's seemingly changed hands to Rowling.
Rowling has an estimated net worth of roughly $1.2 billion, according to Forbes.
The author has become a fierce supporter of women's rights causes since the summer of 2020. She caught flak after liking a tweet that referred to transgender women as 'men in dresses' in March 2018.
Rowling has denied claims that she is transphobic and says she believes people should be free to identify as they choose and be treated equally.
But she is opposed to transgender women - who are biological males - in female only spaces and says that the rights of transgender people should not be allowed to supersede women's rights.
Rowling also recently celebrated on social media on the deck of a boat – after a UK Supreme Court ruling that decided the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
'I love it when a plan comes together,' she posted on X, riffing off the A-Team character Hannibal's catchphrase.
As the colonel often did, Rowling was seen chomping on a cigar. That was in April of last year. She has maintained a low profile since.

At least the author is not Stupid, and I liked the A-Team too
Armed guards. Shoot first, forget the question.
Did I miss the name of the boat?
Gosh. Good thing the article has lots of pictures of the yacht so that people can find it easily at the marina.
Gatling guns will fix that.
I did. Hate articles written like this one.
Notice how “Daily Mail” sent word out to their minions.
“Samsara” is the name.
