Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to put his Gulfstream G200 private jet up for sale because it felt a bit cramped with the number of family members on board.
In addition to this jet, CR7 also owns an aircraft of the same brand, the Gulfstream G650, which is worth up to $65 million with all the luxury and modernity inside.
Gulfstream is a popular aircraft manufacturer among many world billionaires, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Kim Kardashian.
Football superstars like David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar all own private jets. However, only Cristiano Ronaldo is the owner of the Gulfstream G650 worth $65 million, also the most expensive plane in the world among players.
The Gulfstream G650 is the widest, longest, and tallest aircraft in its class, according to Business Insider. With a “super-giant” size, Ronaldo can even take the entire Juventus squad to compete with the Gulfstream G650.

This aircraft boasts the largest space in its segment with a cabin divided into 4 areas for meetings, dining, relaxation, and entertainment.
In the entertainment area, passengers on the Gulfstream G650 can recline in a custom chair or catch up on the news of the day via the 42-inch flat-screen TV.
The handmade seats of the G650 are designed with comfort in mind to provide passengers a stable seat to enjoy their long journeys. The chair can be converted into a bed for added versatility. The Gulfstream G650 has room for 18 people and 2,950 kg of luggage.
With 2 Rolls-Royce engines, Gulfstream G650 can reach speeds of 1,133 km/h, much faster than commercial aircraft. In addition, it can fly 13,890 km without refueling.
Departing from London at full speed, the Gulfstream G650 can fly nonstop to New York and Beijing. At slower speeds and more fuel economy, it can fly nonstop to Buenos Aires and Los Angeles.
Gulfstream’s aerodynamic wings increase speed, range, and efficiency. Fly-by-wire technology creates a comfortable flight. The company also developed advanced sound suppression techniques to improve the noise-free, or possibly quietest, cabin experience in its class. The plane has 16 large windows to maximize natural light. The clean air system of Gulfstream in general, and G650 in particular, always makes passengers comfortable with fresh air. Specifically, every two to three minutes, the ionization technology neutralizes allergens and viruses present in the cabin.
Currently, there are 208 G650s in operation worldwide. The newer model has a retail price of $65 million, but if it’s a used plane, it could be around $39 million.
This aircraft project won the 2014 Collier Trophy for its contribution to “strengthening the aviation business with technological advancements in aircraft performance and in-cabin comfort and safety.” Currently, the aircraft has been discontinued when newer versions of the G650ER and G700 are available.
The Gulfstream G650 can bring maximum comfort to Cristiano Ronaldo after hours of intense competition. The Portuguese superstar can also party with his relatives and friends during European tours.
