How to buy a $25,000,000 private jet!

Hey Steve, I have 25 million dollars and I want a jet from London to Dubai.

No problem, we got a few we can choose from. Let's take a look on the video.

Let's do it! 125 million dollars! How many passengers do you want to carry?

It's only me, I don't have any friends.

You will once you get a jet!

Okay, let's say five then. And as far as range, let's say you want to fly from London to, uh, Dubai, you said?

Yeah, that's correct! 3,000 nautical miles, which we'll have a little fudge factor.

Why are you adding miles?

Well, because that doesn't include crosswinds, tailwinds, headwinds, doesn't get up into altitude right away, so it burns up more fuel. Those are a twenty percent fudge factor to make sure that you have enough range for the trip.

This is basically your choice now. We have a G550, a G450, Global 5000, and a Falcon.

Let's look at these four airplanes. As you can see from London, you got plenty of range to get to Dubai.

It's Dubai, and it's the non-stop range of the four different airplanes. Then we look at what's the difference in the cabin size.

So this is actually full size height of the airplanes.

So I'd like the biggest one.

This one is green, which is the Falcon 900. This is what you're looking for. It's a full size of the Falcon 900, so it's got three cabins.

You got this section here, which is a sort of a bedroom. Then you have the dining area with the cadenza.

What's a cadenza?

It's a cabinet where usually in the older days they used to put a lot of the old electronics, like VCRs and these kind of things. Today, obviously, everybody just uses iPads. So this is used for storage, also to put food on the top, or you can even put some kind of padding on there just to have people sit and have a bigger group of people to chat.

Here you got the four club seats, so you have a total of 14 total passengers. That's the airplane. That's probably the one you should buy.

Is that the one you recommend?

I think that one, you know, it's got the most fuel efficiency. It is not as costly on the operating cost, and you can do it for your budget. And it's probably about the maximum range of that airplane.

There's only one on the market; it's currently asking 25.9 million dollars.

This is material looks like pretty pleasing on the eye—beautiful airplane, super nice.

Probably the most fuel efficient airplane, so it'll probably cost you about 20-30% less in operating costs than the other aircraft. But it's priced a little bit higher than the other ones.

Definitely meets your price, meets your range, meets your cabin number of seats, and it'll be a great airplane for you!

Great, Steve! I think I'll take one of those! Let's get the contract written up.

Thank you so much! I know where to send my friends now when they want a jet too.

It's only one place to come to buy a jet!
