Oh, just another week in the life of the world’s most influential, famous and rich athlete.
While LeBron James licked his wounds after being humiliated in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, staying home, close to his phone, tweeting out the latest injustices NBA players were forced to endure because their previous off-season was too short, (there was a pandemic that had something to do with that) Ronaldo was busy.
He became the first person with 300 million Instagram followers, dumped Coca-Cola’s market share $4 billion by saying he prefers water to sugary soda, and led Portugal in the 2020 European Championships.
Ronaldo is also in the news this week because of all the buzz around his private jet collection.
The soccer icon owns two, with a collective $100 million or so, but then what would you expect for the first soccer player ever named to Forbes’ billionaire list?
Here’s the lowdown on his two jets.
- Gulfstream G650
The Mac daddy of all Gulfstream’s sells for roughly $65.5 million new, but they are worth it.
For a global star like Ronaldo, his plane allows him to fly up to 8,000 miles without refueling. That’s convenient.
2. GS200
This plane is loaded with options you just don’t hear about that often. For instance, an oven, microwave, refrigerator, and complete entertainment system complete with… a fax machine.
Why leave a digital trail at 35,000 feet when you can rip up a piece of paper with confidential info on it!
His G200 is a 10-seater, and one of only 250 of these types of planes ever made.
Not exactly one-of-a-kind like it’s owner, but close.
