She needs a smaller jet for US tours, and obviously a large one for international travel. Of course, she has the cash to buy one but wouldn’t it be wiser to lease or charter?
“Of course, she has the cash to buy one but wouldn’t it be wiser to lease or charter?”
She’s worth north of $1bn so it doesn’t really matter. If she spends a few million either way I’m sure it’s worth it to her to have full control of the jet.
The latest Gulfstream G700 has a range of 7750 miles according to Gulfstream at a speed of up to Mach .9, they’ve also announced a G800 with a slightly longer range of nearly 8000 miles, they will set you back 75 million before customization.
If I had an insane amount of money like her, the one major luxury I would have is a private jet to go anywhere at anytime and avoid all the hassles of commercial flights.
Rush Limbaugh had a G550 which set him back around 55-60 million, I remember him talking about flying nonstop from his home Palm Beach to Hawaii when he used to vacation there.
When one has reached her level of stardom, it's all about optics. It's more impressive to own them than to stoop so low as to have to rent them.
She doesn't have to make arrangements to charter a jet, all she has to do is hop on her own with her new boy toy and fly off to wherever and whenever she wants.....
I’m still baffled about Taylor Swift. Is she some kind of famous woman? Or man? With androgynous name like Taylor, it’s hard to tell.
So obviously, I could care less.
If somehow I become a billionaire I would never own a boat or a plane. Let them sue the charter company if something happens
