Step inside the realm of luxury and extravagance as we take a peek into NBA legend Michael Jordan’s jaw-dropping new private jet. With a staggering price tag of $70 million, this flying masterpiece is the epitome of opulence that only a legendary figure like Jordan could possess.
But what truly sets this aircraft apart is its breathtaking custom-made paint job, worth a whopping $500K. Picture the vibrant colors dancing across the sleek exterior, designed to reflect Jordan’s larger-than-life personality and style. No expense was spared to ensure that this aircraft stood out from the crowd.
The six-time NBA champion‘s jet is a Gulfstream 650ER, which holds the record for ‘the farthest fastest flight in business aviation history’, according to its website.
He opted for a silver-and-black theme after spending six-figures on his own custom paint job, which resembles a pair of his elephant-print ‘Air Jordan’ sneakers.
Jordan’s iconic Jumpman logo also features on the rear’s exterior in a huge white print to top off the design.
The tail number, N236MJ, incorporates the No 23 jersey he made famous throughout his legendary career as well as his number of championship rings, followed by his initials.
The jet has a maximum speed of 0.925 Mach and also comes with two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines.
On the inside, Jordan’s lavish new plane can accommodate up to 19 passengers and four members of crew.
Every passenger is treated to the kind of luxury MJ – who has a net worth of $3.5bn – enjoys on a regular basis, with giant beige leather recliner seats situated at each window.
The aircraft has a separate space for meal times, along with a fully-stocked bar decked out with LEDs that folds out from the furniture.
Jordan is also able to get his head down when feeling tired on a long journey in a swanky private bedroom.
He has extensively modified the 100-foot-long plane to ensure it can travel for up to 13 hours before needing to refuel.
The costs of running the jet will keep on coming for the Chicago Bulls icon, with maintenance set at $1,860,909 per year for 200 hours of flying, reports The Sun.
That maintenance cost includes fuel ($727,338), crew ($343,964), engine overhaul ($191,670) and insurance ($56,987).
We can’t help but marvel at the sheer extravagance of Michael Jordan’s latest acquisition. This private jet is not just a mode of transportation; it’s a reflection of a lifestyle that remains unparalleled. Only a legend like Jordan could possess such a magnificent flying palace, complete with a custom-made paint job that exudes charisma and style.
