Bill Gates | Jet

Bill Gates is not only one of the wealthiest men in the world, but also one of the most popular. He is a high profile personality who needs ample security, so it is only but fitting that he travels in a private jet. The plane that he owns is a Bombardier BD-700 Global Express. He made an investment of $40 million to purchase the plane, which he often uses to go to his important international meetings and his own private getaways with his family and friends. It certainly is comfortable and convenient.

The aircraft can travel over 6,000 nautical miles on a full tank and is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics system. Only the best of the best will do for someone like Gates. There was a time, maybe more than a dozen times, when Gates was undefeated for the title of wealthiest man in the world. Now, he is still one of the wealthiest men in the world, and the busiest as well. He sure can use a jet or two to reward himself for everything that he’s done.
