While $80,000,000 seems like a lot of money to spend, even on a Gulfstream G700 private jet, when time is money, the fact that it nears the speed of sound is invaluable for Jeff Bezos.
The second wealthiest man in the world – second only to Elon Musk – Bezos is proof that you need to speculate to accumulate.
Not only is it a business asset, but the Amazon mogul can also enjoy his time on board, with the new Gulfstream G700 boasting some serious comforts.
Let’s have a look.

The Gulfstream G700
Worth more than $192 billion – according to Forbes – this is the fourth private jet in the fleet belonging to Jeff Bezos.
That’s aside from Koru, a 417-foot vessel and the tallest sailing yacht in the world that set the billionaire owner back $500 million and costs a fortune to maintain.
Per reports, Jeff Bezos reportedly took delivery of the hyped new $80 million Gulfstream private jet last month.
It has already been spotted at an LA airport in the US.
The Gulfstream G700 is not your average private aircraft.
While all Gulfstream aircraft have a proven track record, this marks the beginning of a new era.
It’s one of the fairly recent launches from the manufacturer and tops just about most business jets.
You see, it maxes out and soars through the skies at Mach 0.925, which is almost the speed of sound.
The stunning interiors
Step aboard, and the award-winning interior features ‘the industry’s lowest cabin altitude, elegant finishes, and advanced cabin controls with tactile feedback.’
“All-new, handcrafted seats convert into ergonomic beds for exceptional comfort on ultralong-range flights,” says the website, with the ‘whisper-quiet cabin with 100 percent fresh, plasma-ionized air replenished every two to three minutes’.
A grand total of 20 panoramic oval windows – the largest in business aviation – offer sweeping views of the world below and abundant natural light when Bezos wants to get to business.
The private jet’s seats are hand-crafted and can be converted into ergonomic beds for ultralong-range flights – so Bezos can arrive refreshed and ready for anything.
Accommodating up to 13 guests and sleeping up to eight – his meetings don’t need to wait for touchdown.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
