The Gulfstream G650: The big bad billionaire jet

The Gulfstream G650 is on every CEO’s wish list. With a list price of nearly $65 million, you’ll have to wait for nearly four years to get one after you sign up.

The G650 claims to be the ‘biggest and fastest private jet with no competition,’ with a top speed of 611 mph, just 3 mph slower than a Boeing 747. It can fly you from New York to Beijing nonstop.

The jet has a range of 7,000 nautical miles and a passenger capacity of 18, apart from higher cabin pressure to cut jet lag. Over 50 jets are already in the air. Among its celebrity clients: Billionaire fashion designer Ralph Lauren, American business magnate Steve Wynn and Lord of the Rings director Sir Peter Jackson.
