Recently, he made waves by purchasing a new Gulfstream G700 private jet, a purchase valued at a staggering $80 million (approximately Rs 670 crore). This acquisition adds to his already impressive fleet of aircraft, which includes a Gulfstream G650 and a Pilatus PC-24, pushing his total investment in aviation to over $200 million (approximately Rs 1,679 crore). The Gulfstream G700 is renowned for its opulent features and cutting-edge technology. Boasting panoramic oval windows, high-speed WiFi, and seats that transform into ergonomic beds, the jet promises a luxurious travel experience. Notably, it incorporates sustainable aviation technology, featuring aerodynamic wings and Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines aimed at fuel efficiency. With a capacity to accommodate up to 13 passengers, it epitomizes comfort and exclusivity in the skies.
