Hart also owns an island in Fiji, as well as two properties in Aspen, Colorado in the US. Hart says he lacks interest in making money for its own sake. He describes his personal wealth as a "by-product" of what he does. While Hart prefers to keep a low profile in the general media, he was notable for the launch of his 58 metre (190') luxury motor yacht Ulysses at Auckland's Viaduct Harbour in January 2006. The yacht was valued at nearly $100 million and took five years to complete due to it being gutted by a fire during refit at a New Orleans shipyard. In 2012 the Ulysses was put up for sale for $49-million. Hart has a new 107-metre (351') long yacht under construction at in the community of Ulstein in Norway. This yacht will be particularly well suited to sail under off-shore rough conditions something the Kleven Verft ship yard specialises in. The yacht will also include a helicopter deck, a hangar, and accommodation for up to 60 persons. Hart's latest 107-metre (351') "expedition yacht," formerly named Ulysses, was completed and eventually launched on 3 September 2014, in Ulsteinvik, north of Oslo, at the Kleven Verft shipyard. In 2017 it was reported that he purchased a new 116 metre (380') explorer yacht, which was named "Ulysses", after his 107 metre (351') yacht, formerly of the same name, had been sold. In December 2018, the Hart Family made a $10m donation to the University of Otago to go towards opening their $28.2m dental teaching facility in South Auckland. In February 2022, Hart donated eight tractors, 30 fishing boats and a container full of breakfast food to the people of Tonga following the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai eruption and tsunami. Hart donated over $58,000 to the mayoral campaign of Wayne Brown in the 2022 local body elections. He has also made donations to the New Zealand First and ACT parties.
