Michael Jordan stays as the richest NBA figure in the world with a net worth of $3.5 billion. While the former Chicago Bulls icon owns a number of luxury assets, his $70 million private jet has recently been attracting headlines.
Michael Jordan's brand new private jet
On Thursday, Just Fresh Kicks' official X handle dropped a glimpse of the brand-new jet.
"Michael Jordan's brand new GLF6 jet," Just Fresh Kicks captioned the post.
In the clip, Jordan's Gulfstream G650ER appeared to be pulling onto the runway during taxi. The Jet, had a silver-and-black paint job, with red accents at the rear, mimicked his iconic elephant-print sneakers.
As per privatejetclubs.com, the aircraft is reportedly worth $70 million and ranks among the fastest private jets in the World, while also offering the longest ranges. With maximum seating up to 19 passengers, it is effectively a luxury suite in the air, carrying an estimated annual operating cost of $1.9 million.
Well crafted design
As seen in the video, the aircraft has the tail number N236MJ, which is not random. The number has a big significance, with 23 referencing Jordan's legendary jersey number, while 6 nods to his six NBA titles. The MJ at the end, represents Michael Jordan initials.
Michael Jordan's $70 million aircraft is not only a means of travel but a billboard. From the livery to the tail number, the entire jet reflects Jordan and his brand.
