How much does Bow Wow's boat cost? Actor roasted for filling 'rescue boat' with bikini-clad ladies amid pandemic

In the video shared by the ‘Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift’ actor, he was spotted having a gala time with some pretty ladies. The video was soon trending on social media for all the wrong reasons

‘Growing Up Hip-Hop’ star Bow Wow enjoys a massive fan following on Twitter and Instagram. With three million followers on the micro-blogging site and close to five million on the photo-sharing app, the actor, rapper and TV presenter stays pretty busy posting all the important updates of his life whether it is personal or professional.

The 33-year-old actor did the same most recently when he shared a short video on his official Instagram account where he was seen riding and enjoying on a small boat with around 13 bikini-clad women. The video was soon trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. 

What’s the fuss about Bow Wow’s boat video?

In the Instagram video shared by the ‘Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift’ actor, we could spot him having a gala time with the pretty ladies. He captioned the video, “How can i not smile everyday!” However, Bow Wow was dragged on the Internet for taking way too many people on the small boat as compared to its original capacity. Not only was he mocked for the size of the boat but also for paying no heed to social distancing when a pandemic is raging across the world. 

How did the Internet react? 

Many people made fun of the cost of the boat and how he maintains it. Speaking on the same, one individual tweeted, “Y’all must not know how much a boat cost .... and to maintain andddd dock it monthly... stop hatin on lil bow wow lil boat.” Another expressed, “HAHAHHAHA. That boat prob cost $300 for 5 hours. Bow wow and I prob make the same amount of money.” One person shared, “LOL. Twitter is BRUTAL ripping on Bow Wow right now for flexing about his tiny boat. I mean it still cost money. And it sure as hell isn't that easy to get that many girls to pose for you either. He do still look like a teenager though...” Another added, “Yall think Bow Wow made them girls split the cost of that boat or charged them a entry fee? Lol.” Continuing making fun of Bow Wow’s latest stunt, one stated, “I can’t get over the fact the Bow Wow had the unmitigated gall to pull up in tug boat like it was hot shit. had his arms up like Diddy and EVERYTHING.” Another wondered if everyone on the boat had their Covid-19 tests before getting into the cramped vessel. 

Did Bow Wow try to impress social media?

Bow Wow did not waste any time to impress social media users as he soon upgraded to a bigger boat with a bigger deck and fewer people. Without any further delay, he took to his official Twitter account to share a new video of the same. He captioned the 15-second video as, “I thought i was Will Smith for a second.” In the new short video, we could see Bow Wow dancing on the deck while a few bikini-clad ladies basked in the sun in the background.

If one is planning to rent a 100- foot yacht charter, the average weekly cost will range between $50,000-100,000. A weekly 80-foot catamaran charter will cost you around $40,000-100,000 whereas, a week-long 100-foot motor yacht rental is anywhere between $50,000-80,000, as published by the website Worldwide Boat.

What is Bow Wow's net worth?

According to the website Celebrity Net Worth, Bow Wow’s fortune stands at $1.5 million. Just like all the other musicians, Bow Wow, whose real name is Shade Moss, also earns a major chunk of his money by selling his records and through copyright and royalties. He did make good money from his debut album at the age of 13 as the project sold over 2 million copies in just a year's time. The album eventually sold more than 3 million copies, earning its platinum status. He changed his name to “Bow Wow” and released his second album, ‘Doggy Bag’ in 2002 giving a bigger push to his musical aspirations. He dropped a few other albums and this further increased his bank balance.
