Cristiano Ronaldo bought a super jet for 1.4 trillion –
The G650 was used by Ronaldo for many months before buying it outright
After going to Saudi Arabia to play football, Ronaldo sold the Gulfstream 200, which he considered too narrow and no longer met the travel needs of his family of 7. Over the past several months, he has regularly used private jets to serve his personal needs, but this player often rents them from private airlines.
Only now did he decide to buy a private jet. According to Spanish media, the 38-year-old player is most satisfied with the Gulfstream 650, which is the type of plane he has often rented for many months.
This supersonic aircraft can carry 18 passengers and nearly 3 tons of luggage, providing many amenities. Equipped with two rear-mounted Rolls-Royce BR725 engines with 16,900 lbs of thrust each, the G650 can take off with a takeoff distance of just 1.7km.

Super modern passenger compartment of the G650
With a flight range of 13,000 km, the G650 is capable of flying directly from Saudi Arabia to any airport in Europe. In 2013, the G650 made a big impression when it flew around the world, breaking the speed record and completing the trip in just 41 hours and 7 minutes.
The aircraft’s seats are completely handmade leather. All single chairs and sofas can be converted into beds. The cabin features WiFi connectivity, a 42-inch flat-screen TV, four video screens, amenities and spacious accommodation.
The G650 is in the top 3 most expensive aircraft of Gulfstream, only behind the G650ER and G700 versions. It is also in the top of the most expensive private jets on the planet, losing to “super products” such as Bombardier Global 7000 (73 million USD), Boeing Business Jet (75) or Airbus ACJ (100)…
