Private Jets: Because Burning Millions Makes You Fly Fancy
Forget buying a house – why not drop $9.5 to $33 million on a private jet? Jamie Walker from Jet Linx says owning one is basically maintaining a 'luxury home in the sky,' with Hermès leather seats and Starlink WiFi costing up to $450k. Not to mention crew paychecks of $150k-$400k annually. Oprah once said 'Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn't great is lying to you,' just casually omitting the fact that running it can cost you a cool million a year. Even Warren Buffett gave in because apparently even frugal billionaires need to fly like rockstars.

When your jet costs more to park than my rent and comes with Hermès seats but still no flawless WiFi—private, exclusive, and smugly bankrupting since forever.
Jet owners are out here treating their planes like their emotional support animals—with salaries, leather upgrades, and a greedy WiFi budget more decadent than my entire life savings.
Turns out owning a private jet isn't about flying; it's about spending millions annually to say, 'I have a toothbrush here, and you're still on a Southwest layover.'
