of broadcast.com an inventor of 11 patent families in his show shark tank alone he has invested in 84 deals across its 111 episodes with a total of over 19 million dollars in investments with a portfolio that extensive he has deserved to treat himself a little speaking to business insider he revealed that owning a private plane has been its all-time goal because it helped him save time he actually owns three jets the first one broke a few records it's a gulfstream five worth 40 million dollars it first came out in 1995 and as a long-range large business jet capable of flying at the height of 51 000 feet the engines are rolls royce with increased thrust and higher bypass ratio technicalities aside this jet could really just be a palace in the sky what sets the gulfstream 5 apart from every other business jet is it smart and often hidden details across the interiors the curves and infusion of natural light make it a welcoming and almost sensual space everything from the bulkheads to the seats and carpets have a gentle s-curve and the floors are dressed in a planked walnut with black ebony accents the galley features casablanca marble and a leather covered lounge all washed in soft lighting to give you the feeling that you're in a luxury hotel of course the best feature of any private jet is the bedroom the gulfstream bedroom has its own ensuite and a bed that can go from sitting to sleeping position and oval windows that go from transparent to dark so you can have a good night's rest after splurging 40 million on the purchase cuban also ventured to buy two other jets a boeing 757 solely for the dallas mavericks and a 767 which he rents out for chartered flights his nba team typically flies 600 hours a year if you're doing that amount of traveling and flying commercial in a cramped seat it's going to affect your performance to keep the mavericks on their a-game cuban paid 65 million dollars for a jet that provides them with everything there's a treatment room for recovering from particularly grueling training sessions or games special rooms for conferences and coaching oversized seats that were made for people taller than seven feet a weight room and much more he isn't about to give the full details of his jet away just in case any competitors are listening number four bill gates microsoft founder and ceo bill gates owning a jet is hardly a surprise worth 120.1 billion dollars gates indulges in very few billionaire purchases and mostly leads a humble life away from the public eye but when he spends he spends big gates is the proud owner of not one not two not three but four private planes this includes two gulfstream 6650 ers and two bombardier challengers plus some helicopters and a cessna seaplane it might seem like a bit much for one person but his jets are mainly used for work with the bill and melinda gates foundation the gulf streams are both twin engine business jets with a list price of 70 million dollars it's basically the rolls-royce of business jets and can carry 11 to 18 passengers he might be traveling for relief missions and aid but the plane itself is an airborne retreat spacious interiors make you forget you're on a plane there are four living areas to work dine entertain guests and relax catering to your every need handcrafted leather seats and devons that convert into beds add to the cozy comfort of the gulf stream his bombardier jets can seat 19 people comfortably and they cost about 40 million dollars each it has one of the biggest cabins for business jets and can fly intercontinental ranges without refueling the bombardier has also been used in military specifically by the uk royal air force number three richard branson unlike bill gates sir richard branson is known for splurging on lavish toys like yachts and his 74-acre resort in necker island he founded the virgin group in the 1970s which today encompasses planes space flight media and entertainment and phone service providers you name it he most likely sells it when he's going on vacation branson obviously doesn't fly on his commercial planes no he owns a da so falcon 50 ex which is solely for travel to and from his island and the british virgin islands other times on long haul flights for business he uses virgin airline planes so he can spend time with the staff and passengers the daiso falcon 50 ex is a high performance mid-sized private jet and it stands out with its low swept wings it seats up to nine passengers and the cabin features a devon three closets for extra storage and a capacity for 2205 pounds of luggage after all if you're traveling to a private island you need to look your best for all the instagram pictures 14 windows provide tons of natural light to the cabin and a fully equipped galley allows for both hot and cold food prep a significant change from its predecessors is that the falcon 50 ex has upgraded engines that provide increased range it also lessens fuel burn and has an extended range of 3528 nautical miles number two elon musk tesla may not have their own planes for some time now but in the meantime elon musk gets around on his own private gulfstream g650er worth 65 million dollars when he's bored of that he has a second g550 he previously owned a de so falcon 902 which he sold in 2016. the g550 can seat 17 passengers and all the seats can be reconfigured into beds its estimated cost is 14 million dollars but the final price after musk refurbished it with his own custom furniture and fittings remains unknown understandably musk doesn't want to reveal it but we can still appreciate the features that are known to the public high thrust rolls-royce engines with an outstanding maximum payload allowing you to either go for extravagant vacations or for a wilderness trip with all your camping gear it executes perfect work-life design with beautiful craftsmanship across its four living areas and options for a forward or aft galley with crew compartments the 550 hasn't made any tesla or spacex related flights yet as far as we know but the 650 frequently makes trips between california and texas where elon musk is looking to construct a private hotel with recreational facilities with tesla looking at building a new factory in texas these trips might get even more frequent good thing these jets have beds and it seems the 650 is a popular choice for billionaires elon musk's rival in the space flight industry 2 has his own gulfstream g650er two of them in fact if you ever become a billionaire you know which one to go for number one google ceos the founders of google sergey brin and larry page definitely cashed in big time with their search engine to have a net worth of more than 50 billion dollars they purchased their first plane in 2005 a boeing 767-200 commercial liner which cost them 15 million dollars they spent another 10 million dollars converting this 180 seater into a lavish 50-seater plane with custom furniture and fittings fittingly called the google jet it also includes two staterooms a large lounge and dining area and around 15 first class style seats there was apparently a fight between the two founders about what kind of bed to have in the bedrooms a california king bed or a hammock eric schmidt the ceo of google until 2011 played referee and told them they could each have any kind of bed they wanted in their bedrooms and to please move on if only everyone had these kind of problems they later bought more jets with eric and own a total of eight private jets between them now the fleet includes gulf streams boeing's and dassault planes if you're going to shell out that much for jets you might as well have your own terminal which is precisely what they have they purchased a whole terminal in san jose international airport in 2013 for 82 million dollars it's actually open for use by other businesses and executives in the silicon valley area and these are the
