There are many reasons to choose private aviation over commercial aviation. The main one is it offers a lot more convenience. When chartering a plane, the process is more streamlined than booking a commercial flight. There is also no queue or waiting in line at the airport. So, it is faster.
Aside from that, private jets offer privacy. Only you, a few other passengers, and the crew are on the aircraft. That makes them ideal for business meetings or anything where you will be talking about confidential things. For example, your next big movie project if you are a celebrity. Not that you would need more reason aside from the fact that you are a celebrity.
And of all celebrities, the A-listers need privacy the most. Private jets would let them have safe and comfortable flights. As a bonus, owning one would be another statement about how prominent they are.
Here are nine celebrities who own private jets they use to travel in style:
Taylor Swift
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is one of the best-selling music artists. Even more, she was named the highest-paid music artist in 2019. She has sold over 200 million records worldwide. It only makes sense that she travel via private jet.
She had two private jets, namely a Dassault Falcon 50 and a Dassault-Breguet Mystere Falcon 900. Taylor Swift acquired the former in 2012 but recently sold it, leaving her with one private jet in her possession.
That was not much of a loss for the superstar. She still has the Falcon 900, which is double the size of the jet she sold. It is big enough to fit three separate lounge areas.
You can recognize this $40 M jet easily through the custom insignia on its front. It has the number 13, signifying her birthday – December 13, and her lucky number.
Celine Dion
“My Heart Will Go On” singer Celine Dion is also one of the biggest names in the music industry. During tours, the Canadian singer has flown all over the world. You would not expect her to go to these concerts via commercial flights, wouldn’t you? So, as you might expect, she also has her own private jet.
Celine Dion purchased a Bombardier BD 700 Global Express for $42 M. Other celebrities like Steven Spielberg and Bill Gates also bought this model.
The BD 700 Global Express has a speed of Mach 0.80, a max altitude of 51,000 ft, and 14 hours of endurance. It can accommodate 12-16 passengers in its three spacious seating areas.
Kylie Jenner
Twice at the top of the Instagram Rich List and once in the second place, influencer Kylie Jenner sure has a lavish lifestyle. She purchased a Bombardier Global Express, which was named Sky Ky. The beauty Guru reportedly paid $70 M for the customized aircraft.
Kylie had her product line KylieSkin’s name written in big pink letters at the side of the private jet. There is also a matching pink strip that lines the whole plane.
Meanwhile, the aesthetic interior is even more extra. There are neon lights, lights that can change colors, personalized pillows, and Hermes blankets draped over each chair.
Tom Cruise
The actor who played Lieutenant Maverick in the movie Top Gun is also an aviation enthusiast in real life.
Aside from his Mustang-P51, he owns a Gulfstream IV. It can speed up to Mach 0.80 and reach a maximum altitude of 45,000 ft.
Inside Cruise’s plane, it has state-of-the-art furnishing. There are various plush leather seats, a microwave, coffee makers, a fridge, and many more. The jet also refreshes the air inside every two minutes. Who would not be comfortable with that?
Justin Bieber
Pop sensation Justin Bieber also has a private jet. In February last year, he uploaded a picture of himself and his wife Hailey on their business jet on Instagram. The photo showed his wife reclining on one of the cream leather seats, wrapped in a fluffy blanket. Meanwhile, he was shown practicing his hockey skills on the aisle.
It is not clear what other things are there in his aircraft since it is just one photo. But owning a private jet is already a feat itself.
Jay Z
What is the most expensive gift you have given to someone? For Beyonce, it could be the Bombardier Challenger 850 that she has given her husband. Beyonce gifted Jay Z the private jet during Father’s day in 2012.
The Challenger 850 is the largest of the Challenger series. It has enough space to let seven guests sleep in it. Aside from the spacious seating area, it has two bathrooms, one master bedroom, and a kitchen.
Oprah Winfrey
Partly because of a bad experience in an airport in 1991, Oprah Winfrey bought her own private jet. Like Celine Dion, she chose the Bombardier BD-700 Global Express XRS. It has nine leather seats, aesthetically placed lighting, and designer fixtures in the bathroom and galley. She reportedly paid $42 M for the aircraft.
In a more recent report, she bought a Gulfstream g650 for $70 M. The “Queen of All Media” sure lives a luxurious life.
John Travolta
The “Living Legends of Aviation” ambassador John Travolta is one of the best celebrity pilots. He took flying lessons when he was a teenager. Then, Travolta earned his flying lessons when he was 23.
Now, his front lawn is filled with his private jets. He has a Boeing 707, three Gulfstreams, and one Learjet.
Kim Kardashian
Admittedly, Kim Kardashian does not own a private jet. She only charters. But, she still spends more than the common people on these flights.
For instance, during her 40th birthday, she and her husband Kanye West rented a Boeing 777. It cost them $200,000 per hour. Of course, with that price comes a great experience.
A video posted by the account @kardashianvideo on Instagram showed its magnificent interior. There was also a feast inside. Four dining tables were arranged on either side. Then, there was a breakfast bar in the middle and an actual bar complete with a private bartender serving drinks at one end. Her 40 guests must have enjoyed that.
