Billionaires’ Wildest World Cup Fantasy Exposed: Private Jets, Mega-Yachts, and $4 Million Pitch-Side Packages That Redefine Luxury
Soccer fans, get your wallets ready.
The long-awaited 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicked off last Thursday and is expected to attract approximately 6.5 million visitors from across the United States, features 48 teams competing in matches hosted throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
While many fans have been stunned by the soaring ticket prices — with the most expensive seat for the July 19 Final at MetLife Stadium costing a staggering $32,970 — others are seeking extravagant ways to support their favorite teams.
Cities across the country, including New York City, Boston, and Miami, are offering luxury packages and exclusive experiences designed for deep-pocketed soccer enthusiasts.
From private helicopter transfers to MetLife Stadium to lavish watch parties aboard Miami mega-yachts, The Post has rounded up some of the most extravagant World Cup offerings, allowing affluent fans to avoid crowded trains and packed stadiums while enjoying the festivities in style.
Million-Dollar Manhattan
Wealthy soccer fans visiting New York City can spend a cool $1 million on The Mark Hotel’s Penthouse World Cup Package.
The luxury experience includes tickets to the World Cup Final, private helicopter transportation to MetLife Stadium, four nights of accommodations for up to six guests in the hotel’s penthouse suite, and exclusive rooftop access overlooking Central Park with daily caviar and martini service.
The helicopter transfer is particularly appealing, considering MetLife Stadium was recently voted the least convenient World Cup venue.
The package also features a cruise around New York Harbor aboard The Mark’s 70-foot sailboat, complete with catering from renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Forget Flying Coach to the Match
Boston-based Magellan Jets is offering soccer fans private jet travel aboard a Bombardier Challenger 300.
For $500,000, guests can travel between six host cities — Boston, Atlanta, Toronto, Philadelphia, New York/New Jersey, and Miami — aboard a luxury private aircraft.
The package also includes premium ground transportation between airports and stadiums.
“Leveraging deep expertise in corporate roadshows and board-level travel, the leading private aviation company sets a new standard for complex, multi-city event travel during one of the world’s most monumental sporting events,” the company said in a press release.
Although match tickets are not included, the package accommodates up to eight passengers and promises a seamless, end-to-end travel experience.
Guests also receive the services of a dedicated concierge and premium in-flight catering.
Interested travelers can contact one of Magellan’s Private Aviation Advisors through the company’s website.
What’s Better Than a Watch Party on a Mega-Yacht?
For those who prefer enjoying the World Cup from the water rather than among crowded bars and stadiums, a mega-yacht watch party may be the ultimate luxury.
For $25,000, guests can reserve a four-hour watch party aboard a luxury yacht that includes food and beverages, a cruise through scenic Biscayne Bay, and a private meet-and-greet with legendary former soccer star Roberto Carlos.
Interested guests can visit the Prime Yachts website to request an invitation.
Turn the World Cup Into a Coast-to-Coast Vacation
The St. Regis’ six-day Coast to Coast Soccer Getaway combines luxury travel with World Cup excitement through stays at The St. Regis Bal Harbour and The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort in Florida.
Priced at $187,000, the experience begins with two nights in the Presidential Suite at The St. Regis Bal Harbour, where guests enjoy champagne sabrage, a yacht excursion, a custom couples massage, private Bentley transportation to the match, and a VIP shopping experience at Bal Harbour Shops.
For the second part of the journey, guests travel by private seaplane to The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort for a four-night stay in the property’s Presidential Suite.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with champagne and personal butler service before watching the remaining matches in a luxury setting featuring stadium-quality sound and team-inspired cuisine.
The resort’s lawn will also be transformed into a soccer pitch for private coaching sessions led by a United States Soccer Federation coach.
The experience concludes with a private omakase dinner and a ceremonial gong ritual for up to six guests.
“This package is for travelers who see major sporting events as part of a larger journey and want to celebrate the World Cup in a way that is both unforgettable and uniquely luxurious,” Winfred van Workum, General Manager of The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort, told The Post.
California Dreaming With Golden Soccer Goals
For travelers seeking a more immersive World Cup experience, Kensington Tours offers its Golden Goals: Luxe California & World Cup package.
The itinerary includes match tickets in San Francisco and Los Angeles, transfers, and accommodations at The Four Seasons San Francisco and Santa Monica Proper.
Starting at $14,347 per person, the package also includes signature California experiences such as a private guided bicycle tour across the Golden Gate Bridge, a hike to the Hollywood Sign, and surf lessons in Malibu.
A Hotel Takeover for You and 65 Friends
To celebrate the Colombia vs. Portugal match on June 27, Miami’s 1 Hotel South Beach is offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for large groups.
The premium package, priced at $750,000, includes 66 mezzanine-level match tickets and round-trip stadium transportation with a police escort.
Guests will enjoy a three-night stay in 33 ocean-view balcony suites.
Additional benefits include poolside cabanas, daily chef-prepared breakfasts, three meals for all 66 guests at the hotel’s restaurants, spa treatments for every guest, and a $20,000 food-and-beverage credit.
“There’s something about Colombia vs. Portugal that calls for a shared experience. Two passionate football cultures are coming together in a matchup that unites entire communities,” Milton Sgarbi, Regional Vice President of Operations and Special Projects at 1 Hotel South Beach, told The Post.
“Designing this package for 66 guests was our way of honoring that energy, creating a space for people to experience the magic together and feel the true spirit of the World Cup.”
The package also includes wellness-focused amenities such as a dedicated guru and a group yoga session.
Boston, But Make It Bougie
Soccer fans visiting Boston can upgrade their experience with The Liberty Hotel’s GOAL-den Legendary Experience.
Priced at $75,000, the three-night package includes two premium match tickets, signed jerseys, all-inclusive food and beverages, and a private helicopter shuttle.
For Those With a Million Dollars to Spend
The World Cup Legends Experience at The Boca Raton in Florida carries a price tag of $1 million.
The package includes accommodations for four guests in the resort’s Ocean View Penthouse Suite, personal butler service, and a curated dining menu.
Guests are transported to all matches via private helicopter.
