Rapper, record executive, and producer Rick Ross just added a private jet worth “$5 billiоn” to his collection.
While showing off his newly purchased aircraft, Ross said it was his first but certainly not his last.
The Grammy-nominated artist is a self-proclaimed car enthusiast and collector and spends a significant portion of his $55 million net worth on wheeled items. He recently held his car show at his Atlanta estate, showcasing his entire collection of over 100 vehicles.
Rick Ross’ new jet is massive, with enough space to carry 18 people. It was designed with 20 seats, but Ross reconfigured it to be more spacious.
Speaking of which, this jet has been completely customized, with plush leather seats for the interior and a pretty striking exterior paint color.
It’s quite striking, with a black and yellow silhouette and giant “Rick Ross” lettering on the fuselage.
When the rapper shared photos of his latest shopping trip on Instagram, several celebrities took the opportunity to give their opinions.
Fellow rappers Big Sean, TY Dolla Sign, and Busta Rhymes all took a moment to congratulate Ross. Even German fashion designer Philipp Plein and wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson commented.
The plane in question is a 2012 Gulfstream G550.
It was purchased new by Wells Fargo, as well as in the bank, before being bought by one of Rick Ross’ companies, called “Maybach Air”, in 2023.
The 47-year-old is a big fan of the car brand Maybach, even his label Maybach Music Group is named after the German car manufacturer. However, we’re not 100% sure what Rick Ross meant when he called it a “$5 billiоn jet.”
The price of a Gulfstream G550 ranges from 15 million to 40 million USԀ.
