10 Surprising Features of the World’s Most Extravagant Celebrity Jets
The chances you’ll find celebrities like Taylor Swift or Kim Kardashian seated next to you on a Spirit flight with limited legroom are slim to none. These super-rich celebs get around by way of private jet, so they don’t have to chum it up with the peasants in first class on a commercial flight. Some famous folks are modest about their private planes — that’s a bit of an oxymoron, right? — while others lean into extravagance. Here are some of the most lavish features of these celeb’s private aircrafts.
1. Drake: Two Bedrooms and a Theater
Drake’s customized Boeing 767, dubbed “Air Drake,” was gifted by CargoJet. The mansion with wings features two luxurious bedrooms, a theater system, a swanky business lounge, and gold-plated walls. Ambiance, ya know?
The jet’s custom paint job and personal branding are the icing on the cake, leaving us to wonder how we can get in good enough with CargoJet to get our own freebie private jet.
2. Kim Kardashian: Cashmere Interior
Remember when wearing a cashmere sweater meant you had arrived? You were considered well-off if you owned such a thing. For Kim K., the luxurious material is just a drop in the bucket, because the interior of her jet is decked out in cashmere. And not just the seats, either, folks. The walls are cashmere. That’s some super-soft turbulence.
3. Beyonce and Jay-Z: A Mansion in the Sky
Jay-Z and Queen Bey break boundaries with their jet, blowing past the perception of how much space you can actually fill on an aircraft. Inside their jet, there are two full bathrooms, a private lounge, a master bedroom, a spacious cabin, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. They could live in the sky if they wanted to.
4. Elon Musk: Super Clean Air
Listen, if you’re Elon Musk, you’re obviously going to have some advanced technology in your private jet. From the spectacular Wi-Fi to an air purification system, the billionaire’s plane is like something straight from the future. One aircraft in his fleet has a reputation for having the cleanest air of all, with plasma-ironized air that is replenished every two to three minutes.
5. Tom Cruise: Jacuzzi and Screening Room
We’re over here dreaming about the day we get a jacuzzi in our house, and Tom Cruise gets to soak in one 40,000 feet in the air. As if that wasn’t enough to make his private jet elite, the action star also has a private screening room onboard, where he can watch and review films while flying to his next destination. What a productive passenger.
6. Mark Cuban: Weight Room
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban invested millions in a custom private jet to transport the team. But the interior isn’t merely meant for unwinding as the players travel from one location to the next. On board, there is a weight room, meeting spaces, and an area designated for medical treatments to keep the players in tip-top shape.
7. Donald Trump: Gold Accents Everywhere
Donald Trump may no longer be traveling the skies in Air Force One, but he still gets around in his private jet, dubbed “Trump Force One” (see what he did there?). Inside, the aircraft is chock full of gold accents, from gold-plated seatbelt buckles to gold faucets in the bathroom. The aircraft also has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
8. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal: A ‘Flying Palace’
Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal shows his billionaire status in style with his private jet, which is known as his “flying palace.” Onboard, there is a Turkish bath in the “wellbeing room,” guest staterooms to accommodate 20 people, a dedicated prayer area, a floating spiral staircase, lift shuttles to move between the plane’s three floors, a steam room, a board room, and a concert hall. Yup, “flying palace” makes sense.
9. Kylie Jenner: Catering Crew
Kylie Jenner’s jet isn’t merely lavish because of its custom white and pink color scheme seen on everything from the plane’s exterior to the seats and pillows inside. Her flight attendants (dressed in pink to match the plane, of course) and pilots aren’t the only staff onboard, either. Kylie also has a crew of caterers so she never has to rely on big sis Kendall to risk her life cutting a cucumber for her.
10. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei: Solid Gold and Crystal Interior
This uber-rich sultan’s private jet is the pinnacle of opulence. The gold-plated aircraft reportedly cost around $400 million, with an additional $120 million spent on upgrades, including a gold washbasin and chandeliers with Lalique crystals.
