The Amazon founder and CEO owns not one, but two private jets. And each one of those jets cost a whopping $150 million.
That’s a lot of money, even for someone as wealthy as Bezos. But what’s even more impressive is the fact that those jets are decked out with some of the most advanced features and amenities imaginable.
For example, one of Bezos’ jets is outfitted with a top-of-the-line entertainment system that includes a massive movie theater and gaming console. There’s also a luxurious spa area, complete with a sauna and massage room.
And if that’s not enough, the plane also has a state-of-the-art kitchen, which can prepare any type of meal you might desire.
In addition to his two private jets, Bezos also owns a fleet of helicopters that he uses to get around Seattle. So if you’re ever in the Seattle area and see a helicopter flying overhead, there’s a good chance that Jeff Bezos is on board.
The Perfect Business Aviation
Jeff Bezos has multiple private jets that he uses to travel long-distance journeys in luxury. His most expensive jet is a Gulfstream G50 ER that comes with a $70 million price tag, but the amount hikes with customizations, as Bezos’ jet is currently worth $75 million. Owning two Gulfstream G50 ERS planes, they are registered under the names N758PB and N271DV. As mentioned by Super Yacht Fan, the private jet is registered under Poplar Glen LLC, a private company owned by Bezos. Before buying the expensive jet, the mogul also purchased a Boeing Field Hangar in a private location for $5.5 million to house the stunning Gulfstream jets.
Produced by Gulfstream Aerospace, the Gulfstream G50 ER is a twin-engine private jet, while the ER stands for Extended Range. Bezos’ business aviation jet has the stomach for long journeys with its maximum range of 7,500 NM and a maximum mach of 0.925. More than 470 Gulfstream G-series aircraft are in service and have achieved more than 120-speed records. According to Gulfstream, one of the reasons why the model is popular amongst the richest is that the Gulfstream G50 ER holds the record for traveling the farthest fast flight in the history of business aviation.
Serving The Best Amenities
Inside the Gulfstream jet, a spacious luxury offers a getaway amongst the clouds. With a seating capacity of thirteen people, it can sleep six at a time. The plane is divided into three living areas: a forward galley with the crew compartment, a seating area, and an aft galley. Designed with comfort in mind, the thirteen seats designed for passengers are hand-crafted for a relaxing journey and come with added flexibility as they convert into beds to take a quick break.
With the G650 series, Gulfstream has inculcated innovation with technology to increase the efficiency, speed, and range of every journey. For example, with the fly-by-wire technology, the aircraft is stabilized and offers flight control inputs through a process system, as reported by TheRichest. In addition, the exclusive Gulfstream PlaneView II deck notably shows streamlined displays to reduce the pilots’ workload for enhanced safety. These safety features have earned the model the Robert J. Collier Trophy by the United States National Aeronautic Association.
