Media mogul who is most recognized as the creator of X-factor in Britain and the overly critical American idol judge likes to live big. This is evident by his $29 million home in Beverly Hills and by his $61.5 million Gulfstream G550.
Apparently, Simon Cowell was once bankrupt. He is far from that now and has amassed a fortune of $550 million. Even with a net worth like that, his private jet seems a bit steep. We hope he is working with a financial advisor so he doesn’t go bankrupt again.
Justin Bieber – Gulfstream G4, Estimated $60 Million
Justin Bieber is one of the biggest singers in Hollywood. The singer-songwriter will always be known as someone who started a very serious career at a very early age, but he already has a net worth of $200 million.
While he does have a high net worth for somebody his age, it seems like a pretty risky decision to purchase a Gulfstream G4, especially considering the millions he will need to invest in its insurance, storage, and maintenance every year. However, as one of the most sought out celebrities by the paparazzi, especially after recently marrying supermodel and daughter of actor Steve Baldwin, Haley Baldwin, we are sure that the pair prefer to fly privately rather than get bombarded in the airport by fans.
Elvis Presley – Convair 880, Estimated $3 Million
The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, purchased this jet for $600,000. The Convair 880 is an American narrow-body business jet constructed by the Convair division of General Dynamics. The jet was designed to compete with the Douglas DC-8 and Boeing 707.
Elvis purchased the jet on April 17, 1975. The king had no problem affording this purchase, as he is regarded as one of the most influential and celebrated musicians of the 20th century. Elvis had the plane decked out in gold-plated bathroom fittings and hired the decorators behind Air Force One. The plane was named Lisa Marie after his daughter and can now be found on display at Graceland.
Kirsty Bertarelli – Vava II, Estimated $130 Million
Kirsty was crowned Miss UK in 1988. The former beauty queen used to be married to Ernesto Bertarelli, an Italian-born Swiss billionaire and philanthropist. Her now ex-husband is the 6th wealthiest person in the UK, which made Kirsty Britain’s richest woman while the two were still together.
Kirsty can hold her own though, and is a singer, songwriter, and philanthropist. Before the divorce happened, the couple enjoyed sailing in their private yacht Vava II which is worth around $130 million. It is also the 33rd largest in the world.
Jackie Chan – Embraer Legacy- Estimated $20 Million
The famed action film Chinese actor holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the Most Stunts Performed by a Living Actor. He has been acting since the 1960s and has become a household name in the Hollywood movie industry.
As a stuntman, it is not surprising that Chan loves to fly. After consulting with his wealth management advisor, he purchased a luxurious private jet, Embraer Legacy. While the insurance for the jet is probably very high, it is clearly no obstacle for Jackie.
