Billionaires Rent $80M Flying Penthouses To Avoid Privacy Invasion
KEY POINTS
- •In mid-2024, delivery of the Gulfstream G700 began, marking it as one of the most exclusive private jets.
- •Owners like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos hold G700s outright, while Flexjet and Qatar Executive offer fractional or charter access.
- •These $80 million jets feature complete luxury amenities, including private bedrooms, multi-convertible beds, dining areas, and large flatscreen TVs.
The Gulfstream G700—a $78 million flying palace officially launched in mid-2024—takes private aviation from 'jet set' to 'luxury bubble in the sky.' Owned outright by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos (because what’s a few hundred million after SpaceX?), these beasts span 8,000 miles non-stop and cost more per hour than most pay in annual rent. Qatar Executive and Flexjet offer branded versions worth over $80 million each, charging scary prices: about $20,000 per hour at Flexjet, $300,000 on Doha-New York Qatar charters. Inside, you get private bedrooms with seatbelts (turbulence is still a jerk), multi-convertible beds for up to nine crash-pad guests, movies on giant flatscreens, six-person dining areas with Michelin or fast-food options, and yes, bathrooms that feel less like airplane restrooms and more like small cottages. Pilots and cabin crew get their own nap zone because god forbid they be tired mid-flight. All this glam while billionaires dodge flight trackers, proving even at 41,000 feet class warfare never sleeps.

When wealthy people say 'I just want privacy,' what they really mean is 'I’ll pay $300K an hour to hide in a flying apartment that screams LOOK AT ME.'
Private jets priced like NYC penthouses that seat fewer people but add extra soundproofing to protect billionaires from the cries of commoners.
Spending $78 million on a jet you can’t subtly brag about because private flight trackers gotta track, but hey, your bed has seatbelts.
