We have to admit – 25 million bucks for a business jet doesn’t exactly scream ‘bargain buy’, even if it is a Bombardier Global 6000.
It sounds like a line item on a billionaire’s ‘why not’ list.
But one guy crunched the numbers on a Global 6000, and the results flipped that logic on its head.
Instead of a money pit, this jet might actually be somewhat of a money printer.

The $25M business jet that pays for itself
Over on Instagram, @udetailers broke down the financial implications of purchasing and owning this multimillion-dollar business jet.
The aircraft in question is a Bombardier Global 6000 – an ultra-long-range heavy jet that’ll take you coast-to-coast across the Atlantic like it’s a puddle jump.
Bombardier jets are known to be so lavish they’re basically houses in the sky – just ask the Aussie billionaire who spent $120 million on a Global 7500 that came with a bedroom, kitchen, and even an ensuite bathroom.
A 2015 Global 6000 model in great condition lists around $25 million.

On paper, that’s terrifying.
In practice, you can charter it out at $13,000 per hour, fuel included.
Run the math: 40 percent utilization, average trip length of three and a half hours, and suddenly the jet brings in $6.63 million a year.
But what about the expenses? Well, they’re brutal… but not deal-breaking.
For a plane like this you’re looking at about half a mil for crew salaries, $150,000 in FBO fees (that’s the bill for private terminals, parking, and handling), $750,000 in maintenance costs, plus $450,000 just for detailing.
Add in insurance for about $30,000 and $100,000 for catering and the annual bill lands at $2.14 million.

Delving further, the creator outlines a financing scenario whereby $5 million of the jet cost is offset by trading in another aircraft, leaving $20 million to finance with a federal loan at 6.5 percent interest.
That repayment works out to about $149,000 a month, or roughly $1.79 million a year.
Stack that on top of the running costs and the total yearly spend hits $3.93 million – still leaving roughly $2.7 million in profit against the $6.63 million in revenue.
And that’s all with conservative use.
Oh, and fun fact: registering in Delaware can save you even more by sidestepping roughly $1 million in state sales and use tax right out of the gate.
So those of you in Dover – it might be time to invest.
A business plan with wings
Most of us look at a $25 million business jet and see pure excess.
But when you crunch the numbers, it tells a different story.
The same plane you’d expect to be a billionaire’s plaything can actually clear millions in profit, even without flying flat out.
That’s what makes the breakdown so surprising.
What looks like lifestyle fluff is really a business model with wings.
Sure, the dollar signs may trigger alarm bells, but the math flips this purchase into something else entirely: a cheat code.
