How ‘frugal’ billionaire Elon Musk splurges: An inside look at his $78 million private jet (Page 4 ) | November 8, 2024

How Many Jets Does Musk Own?

Previously reported to own a not-so-frugal four-jet fleet, including a Gulfstream 650ER, two Gulfstream 550s and a Dassault Falcon 900B, Musk may have recently whittled down his collection. Currently, FAA records show only the G650ER and one G550 listed under the shell company Musk uses to purchase his aircraft, Falcon Landing (which shares the same address as Space X headquarters).

Maybe he’s simply restructured ownership for additional privacy after a highly publicized feud with the owner of ElonJet, which rigorously tracks the billionaire’s flight data. Or maybe the notorious cost-cutter is making room for his newest palace in the sky. After all, who’d want to fly anything else?

Does Musk Own More Jets Than Jeff Bezos?

Jeff Bezos recently dethroned Musk as the richest man in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, but Musk may still be king of the sky if FAA records are accurate.

Currently, records show the Amazon founder’s Poplar Glen company owns just two Gulfstreams to Musk’s three. He does, however, also own a host of smaller aircraft along with a $5.5 million Seattle hangar and is alleged to own a 10-seater Pilatus PC-24.
