41 years Kim Kardashian Gets New $150 Million Custom Private Jet to Matches Her House

Kim Kardashian is one celebrity that is always in the news, both by choice and because the public’s interest in her seems to verge on an almost-unhealthy obsession. In the past couple of weeks, she has also been in the news for her automotive-related interests – particularly for the fact that she spent over N41 million to paint three of her favourite cars a custom shade of grey because she wanted them to match the outside of her Calabasas, California mansion.

The exterior of the mansion is grey but all-beige and white on the inside, a seemingly impractical idea when you have four kids running around or even one clumsy adult, but one that Kim K swears brings calmness into her world of chaos.

Kim Kardashian is currently the owner of a custom Gulfstream G650ER, which she had done “from the ground up,” according to TMZ. She took it on its maiden voyage from Los Angeles to Milan, Italy, where she and her glam squad were in attendance at Fashion Week. It was as a result of the same glam squad that the world had a first look inside.

As per the celebrity publication, Kim reportedly paid some N62.3 million for the private jet she now calls Kim Air, and she made sure she truly made it her own. The personalised touches include an all-beige cashmere and leather interior and placemats and plates that match those inside her home. Once guests board Kim Air, they will be offered a complimentary kit containing SKIMS pyjamas and slippers, so they can fully enjoy the experience. Even the exterior of the plane is painted the same Créme colour, which makes it a perfect match for the monastery-like mansion. When you’re a baller of Kim’s status, matching accessories are for the peasants.

For the customisation of the interior, Kim worked with Tommy Clements and Waldo Fernandez. She has been waiting for a year to take delivery of her Kim Air, so it is no surprise her stylists were so eager to boast about it on social media.

The model is still in production, with some 448 units made and delivered as of the end of last year, but they are notoriously hard to come by. Part of the reason for that is they are very popular with the world’s richest people like Jeff Bezos who also owns one. Even without all the customisation, Kim’s private jet would have still been a head-turner both in terms of specs and performance.

The G650ER is the long-range version of the G650, which was introduced in 2008, and is currently the world’s longest-range business jet. Depending on its configuration, it can seat up to 18 people and sleep as many as ten, and offers a wellness environment, fast connectivity, up to four living areas, enhanced air ionisation so that you always breathe “outside fresh air,” whisper-quiet travel, and the lowest cabin altitude available (4,580 feet at 51,000 feet, or 1,478 meters at 15,545 meters). All these allow Gulfstream to promise a relaxing, almost completely lag-free flight, regardless of destination or the duration of the flight.

In short, this private jet is perfect for the modern globe-trotter, as long as they can find one available and afford it. In Kim’s case, both apply. A new Gulfstream G650ER varies between N29.1 billion and N39.5 billion depending on options but without further customization. A used one is cheaper, at N22.8 billion, if you can find it.
