Among the most revered names in private aviation, Bombardier’s Global 7500 reigns supreme. Introduced in 2018, this ultra-long-range business jet combines power, luxury, and technological prowess in a way few aircraft can rival. At the heart of its performance are two General Electric Passport engines, each delivering a thrust of 18,000 pounds, enabling the jet to fly at an astounding Mach 0.925, just shy of the sound barrier. In 2024, it shattered records by flying from New Delhi to Tokyo in only 7 hours, asserting its prowess in real-world conditions.
More than speed, the Global 7500 boasts an intercontinental range of 7,700 nautical miles, second only to Gulfstream’s G800. Its cabin layout is a statement of affluence: four lavish suites — a club suite, conference suite, entertainment suite, and a private master suite with a full-sized bed and stand-up shower. This level of comfort, coupled with a $75 million price tag, explains why only the world’s elite can afford to call one their own.
Below, we dive into five celebrity owners who have made the Global 7500 their winged palace.
Kylie Jenner: ‘Kylie Air’ and the Pink Sky Palace
In 2020, Kylie Jenner, billionaire entrepreneur and fashion icon, took delivery of her Bombardier Global 7500 at a price of $72.8 million. Drenched in custom pink and cream décor, this aircraft reflects Jenner’s flamboyant aesthetic. Officially registered as N810KJ, the tail number hints at her August 10 birthday, and it’s owned by her aviation company, Rise and Shine Air LLC.
The exterior features bubblegum pink stripes over a pearlescent white fuselage, while inside, cream-colored upholstery, hot pink accents, and neon lighting echo the signature branding of her cosmetics empire. It’s not just a jet — it’s a flying extension of her brand.
“Kylie Air” has drawn both admiration and criticism. Environmental groups have condemned its use for ultra-short trips — one infamous journey from Van Nuys to Camarillo lasted just 17 minutes. Despite backlash, it remains a testament to her wealth and influence. Alongside Kim Kardashian’s Gulfstream G650 ER, Kylie’s aircraft stands as one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan’s flying statements of status.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé: Power Couple in the Skies
When it comes to power couples, Jay-Z and Beyoncé soar above the rest — literally. With a combined net worth of over $3 billion, the duo added a Bombardier Global 7500 to their assets in 2023. Registered under MAV 4 LLC, a New York firm linked to Jay-Z, the aircraft’s tail number is N44440, and its serial number 70153.
The jet is part of a larger aviation portfolio. Beyoncé famously gifted Jay-Z a Bombardier Challenger 850 in 2012, worth $40 million, for Father’s Day. However, it’s their sleek, white Global 7500 that garners international attention, having been spotted in Barcelona, Cologne, and Brussels in recent years.
Interestingly, Jay-Z is also associated with a Gulfstream V, registered as N444SC — a nod to his album 4:44 and his real name, Shawn Carter. Despite speculation, his legal team clarified that the Gulfstream is owned by Puma, stemming from his tenure as their creative director for basketball. Still, the Global 7500 is the crown jewel of their personal fleet.
Tyler Perry: From Fear of Flying to Jet Collection
Tyler Perry, the acclaimed filmmaker and billionaire entrepreneur, took delivery of his Global 7500 in January 2025. Registered as N378TP (with “TP” representing his initials), this aircraft has a clean white fuselage accented by a metallic brown stripe running from nose to tail — an understated but elegant aesthetic.
This isn’t his only plane. Perry’s collection includes an Embraer Lineage 1000 and a Gulfstream III (N725TP), placing him among Hollywood’s most prolific jet owners. However, the journey to this aerial luxury wasn’t easy.
Perry once battled a debilitating fear of flying, intensified by the 9/11 attacks. He conquered it by immersing himself in remote-controlled aircraft piloting before eventually earning his private pilot’s license. Now, the man who once dreaded takeoff pilots his own jet, epitomizing personal evolution and triumph.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson: The Muscle Behind the Jet
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, consistently ranked among the highest-paid actors in the world, joined the Global 7500 club in 2023. His aircraft, registered as N1089, is operated out of Van Nuys Airport and managed by Silver Air, a premium jet charter service.
Though Johnson keeps a low profile on the aircraft’s specifics, industry sources confirm he also owns a Gulfstream G650 ER. The Gulfstream came into the limelight during a 2025 mid-air incident, where a hydraulics system failure occurred en route from Hawaii to Houston, just before the United Football League’s season opener.
His Global 7500, by contrast, has avoided drama and continues to serve Johnson’s high-demand lifestyle — crisscrossing the globe for film shoots, business meetings, and fitness-related endorsements. It’s no surprise that the former wrestler, known for his ambition and discipline, would choose one of the most advanced business jets ever built.
Matt Damon: Hollywood’s Private Aviator
Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon rounds off this prestigious list. With a net worth nearing $170 million, Damon’s entry into the Bombardier circle came via a 2019-manufactured Global 7500, registered under N444WT. The jet is held by Whiskey Tango LLC, a South Dakota-based entity.
This jet has seen frequent use — 75 flights in 2024 alone — and spans a global footprint. From short-haul U.S. trips like San Diego to Los Angeles, to transcontinental getaways across the Gold Coast of Australia, Athens, Thessaloniki, and Fiji, Damon’s Global 7500 is his luxury passport to the world.
What distinguishes Damon is his quiet approach to aviation. Unlike peers who flaunt their aircraft, Damon lets the destinations and his dedication to craft do the talking. But his choice of jet says everything — elegance, efficiency, and the means to fly on his own terms.
Why the Global 7500 is a Celebrity Magnet
So why is the Bombardier Global 7500 the preferred jet for Hollywood’s elite? Beyond the staggering $75 million price tag, the answer lies in its uncompromising performance and palatial comfort. With a range that spans continents, a cabin large enough to divide into distinct zones, and near-supersonic speed, the aircraft becomes not just a transport tool but a mobile lifestyle sanctuary.
Key performance highlights:
- Maximum range: 7,700 nautical miles
- Top speed: Mach 0.925
- Cabin length: 54 feet, the longest in its class
- Four living zones including full kitchen and master bedroom
- Pure air filtration system and Sunrise Lighting technology
From Kylie’s candy-colored airborne fashion studio to Jay-Z’s globe-spanning music empire, the Global 7500 adapts itself to the personality and needs of its owner. It is both a playground and a boardroom, a refuge and a megaphone.
As more celebrities and billionaires seek greater privacy, autonomy, and comfort, the Global 7500 stands ready to deliver — mile after magnificent mile.
