Many celebrities and VIPs travel in their private planes, which they either hire or own. These offer elegance, privacy, speed, and flexibility. Jay-Z has a Bombardier Challenger 850 private jet, which is one of the greatest on the market.
This jet cost $40M, which isn’t a big thing given Jay-Z’s newfound wealth. It’s a large jet with his moniker, S. Carter, inscribed on the side. The real name of the great rapper and entrepreneur is Shawn Carter. Its vast and elegant interior carries this famous couple in luxury and style wherever they need to go. It is 87 feet in length and has a wingspan of 69 feet. The million-dollar vehicle has a top speed of 528 miles per hour.
Beyonce bought it for her husband as a Father’s Day gift in 2012. After the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy, she gifted him the gorgeous plane with a full kitchen and two bathrooms.
Within, there is an astonishing sense of vastness and grandeur. There is ample room for the entire family and a full team of servants. It can seat up to 16 people and sleep up to seven. The couple’s home design is great for balancing family time and relaxation with corporate duties. In the main cabin, there is a four-seater table, a broad couch, and plenty of passenger space.
The color palette is stunning, with neutral tones on the walls, cream hand-crafted leather seats, and a gold accent. The floor is a dark brown velvet with white squares printed on it. As the music duo flies between destinations, the plane offers plenty of space for business meetings. At 30,000 feet, the plane has a living area with a large TV for some family time. Mr. and Mrs. Carter can relax in their bedroom on a king-sized bed with padded walls.
On board, there is a full kitchen and staff ready to serve whatever the pop stars and their guests desire. There’s also a fully stocked bar for Jay-Z to sip cognac or Beyonce to sip champagne. There are two restrooms on board the plane, each with a shower and vanity. The luxurious decor enjoyed by passengers on this jet is a far cry from commercial airline restrooms.
