Not every celebrity's private jet is the same. In 2026, the difference between a star's Gulfstream and a billionaire's converted jumbo jet could be nearly half a billion dollars. The list opens with Celine Dion's Bombardier BD-700 Global Express XRS – a pre-owned aircraft she acquired in 2021.
For an artist who built one of the most demanding international careers in pop history, the Global Express XRS is a practical aircraft: intercontinental range without a fuel stop, a genuinely livable cabin for long overnight sectors, and the reliability of a platform with decades of operational history.
Celine Dion is a supporter of the Canadian OEM Bombardier and owns a BD-700 Global Express. At $42M+, the pre-owned purchase price reflects an aircraft that represents the upper threshold of what most business jet operators ever consider.
The next on the list operates in an entirely different financial register. Taylor Swift flies in a Dassault Falcon 7X private jet from French manufacturer Dassault Aviation, valued at around $54 million.
The plane is known for its high performance, with an ultra-long range of 5,950 nautical miles and a maximum cruise speed of 497 knots. It also has plush seating, a private stateroom, and a gourmet galley.
Swift's jet became one of the most publicly tracked private aircraft in aviation history during the Eras Tour, when flight-tracking accounts documented its movements in near real-time.
The coverage drew significant criticism around carbon emissions and prompted public responses from Swift's team. This celebrity’s choice of private jet isn’t just about transportation—it’s an extension of their persona.
Elon Musk owns the Gulfstream G650ER as his primary private jet – one of the world's most advanced long-range business jets, costing approximately $70-75 million.
The luxury of private aviation comes with a hefty price tag and significant environmental impact. As the demand for sustainable aviation fuels continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how celebrities and billionaires address this issue in their private jet ownership.
