This ’24-year-old’ man traded in a pink Bugatti for an airplane, but after riding in his cockpit for a few weeks, he revealed why being a private jet owner actually ‘sucks’.
Few people on the planet can ever dream of owning a private jet.
They’re reserved for the ultra-wealthy, as the luxury of these planes eclipses your standard aviation vehicles and most things that you can ever hope to see on the roads.
Still, this content creator claims to be having a rougher time than most after spending weeks on his private jet.

Instagram personality and entrepreneur fxalexg has entered the private jet ownership club after trading in his pink Bugatti Chiron for an airplane.
The content creator is quite the fanatic when it comes to vehicles, retaining the keys to a Bugatti Beetle and a purple Chiron Super Sport.
But who really needs three Bugattis?
Well, that was his reasoning, as he put his Chiron to the sword and put the cash into an aviation adventure.
However, in a new Instagram post, he claims that the Learjet 45 he owns isn’t all that, and it actually ‘sucks’.
The first reason was that the ‘combobulator’ never works. Damn nuisance that is.
Secondly, the alignment of his combobulator is always off with the ‘rack’ on the rear of the airplane.
Then, the cherry on the disappointment cake is that his steering wheel buttons don’t fire rockets and missiles at his enemies, Top Gun: Maverick style.
As you can expect, you’d be pretty annoyed buying a jet and not having these features in working order. Right?
Turns out that the creator is no private jet hater at all, and he was just flexing his new acquisition.
Oh, and he’s also been 24 years old for eight years.
Still, owning a private jet might not be all it seems, especially when he gets hit with those maintenance bills.
Although a Bugatti service isn’t much cheaper…
Safe to say, he needs deep pockets for whichever mode of transport he chooses.
Even without the guns and fireworks, the new private jet owner could still upgrade his fleet and find planes capable of making Maverick-like maneuvers.
It might just take a bit longer to master than doing a donut in a Bugatti.
