Learn about Dwayne Johnson's $65 million "flying mansion".

The actor of the action movie “Too Fast, Too Furious” seems to be a speed addict even in real life. He said that his newly purchased plane is “the fastest in the world”…

Not only is it fast, functions such as bed, kitchen, bar, bathroom, relaxing sofa with TV screen and 5-6 star standard living room… are custom-equipped, making the aircraft owner happy. This feels like being in a villa traveling through the clouds.

Gulfstream G650 is equipped with two Rolls-Royce engines combined with giant anti-slip brakes for the shortest landing distance. It can fly nearly 13,000 km per refueling. Not only famous for its ability to fly fast and far, the Gulfstream G650 is also known as the aircraft model with the best fuel consumption and emissions in the aviation industry.

With smart designs, the Gulfstream G650 can accommodate 18 passengers and 4 crew members. Business Insider said that with maximum takeoff load, the Gulfstream G650 can reach an altitude of 12,500m in just 22 minutes. This is an altitude above the bad weather area and outside the dense area of commercial aircraft.

In addition, this aircraft is also equipped with many of the most modern entertainment devices including high-speed Wifi transmitters, 3D radar, and capacitive touch screens to serve entertainment and work needs. Gulfstream has a laboratory specializing in sound research, which contributes to creating a quiet space on its aircraft models, especially on the G650. According to Gulfstream, the plane’s cabin can reduce pressure when flying high, so passengers only feel like they are at an altitude of 1,500m while the plane has reached an altitude of 15,000m.

Although it has only been officially put into operation for about a decade, the G650 aircraft model and its versions have been produced by Gulfstream in more than 300 aircraft. From Jeff Bezos – Amazon boss to technology tycoon Elon Musk; From legendary inventor Steve Jobs to investor Mark Cuban – a “shark” of the American show Shark Tank… all have owned at least one Gulfstream jet.

The demand for the Gulfstream G650 jet – the largest and most expensive civil aircraft today – is so great that the owners of these super jets have begun to think about transferring them to profit. In some transactions, sellers profited from $5 million to $7 million per sale. However, the famous aircraft manufacturer said it did not know the details of these transfers.

“If our customers really profit from these transfers, it will further prove the G650’s incredible capabilities,” said a representative of manufacturer Gulfstream. “The real problem for the airline is just that customers are trying to sell planes even though they haven’t been delivered yet.”

According to Gulfstream, customers will not be able to resell the aircraft until it is delivered to them. This is to avoid speculation, a phenomenon that is not good for the market. This company also included a clause in the contract that does not allow the owners of these aircraft to cede the aircraft within a certain period of time after signing the contract. Some customers have tried to circumvent this provision by purchasing the aircraft under the name of a new airline, and then selling it to someone else to transfer ownership as a business contract of the business.

However, brokers also said that Gulfstream knew about this trick and was requiring the person signing the contract to be the final recipient. “They are really doing their best to prevent these types of transfers,” said Jay Duckson, a representative for Central Business Jets.

Like other billionaires and Hollywood stars, with a busy work schedule, the Fast & Furious actor decided to spend a large amount of money to buy a private plane to meet his travel needs. For $65 million, this famous actor said that if his “flying mansion” flew from London at maximum speed, it could fly nonstop to New York and Beijing. At slower speeds and with more fuel economy, it can fly nonstop to Buenos Aires and Los Angeles.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s net worth is currently up to $800 million. In addition, The Rock owns a villa in Miami and a large farm in Virginia. In 2018, he was the actor with the highest annual income ever in the 20-year history of this magazine’s statistics. At the end of 2019, he spent $9.3 million to buy a huge mansion near Atlanta, Georgia. The new residence has 8 bedrooms, a wine cellar and swimming pool. A-list stars are also brand representatives, advertising for brands ranging from clothing, energy drinks, soccer tournaments and alcohol. The Rock is also interested in and loves real estate investing.

Recently, according to an announcement from Forbes magazine, The Rock was the highest paid actor in the world last year with 89.4 million USD. And with nearly 100 million USD earned in a year, many people wonder what this superstar spends his money on. In fact, in addition to planes, the actor also owns many supercars worth millions of dollars. His car collection includes a Pagani Huayra worth $1.3 million (only 100 of which are produced in the world), a limited edition Ferrari LaFerrari worth $1.5 million, and a Rolls Royce Wraith nearly 500,000 USD.

“I don’t have a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Harvard University, but my business philosophy and acumen have been honed over time and through failures,” The Rock once confided. From the time I wrestled at flea markets to earn 40 USD (926,000 VND) per match until today, my goal remains unchanged – to always put the audience first.”
