Jeff Bezos Expands Jet Collection With $80M Gulfstream G700, Reveals Student Who Tracked Elon Musk And Taylor Swift's Aircraft

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com Inc., has reportedly added a Gulfstream G700 to his collection of private jets, valued at $80 million.

What Happened: According to JetSpy and Jack Sweeney, who is well-known for tracking the aircraft of Elon Musk and Taylor Swift, Bezos received the $80 million jet in July. This latest addition brings his collection to four aircraft, which includes two Gulfstream G650s and a Pilatus PC-24, reported Business Insider on Thursday.

Data from JetSpy shows that the G700, registered as N11AF, made 28 flights in 39 days, emitting 264 tons of CO2. This is equivalent to the average American’s emissions over 17 years, according to the report.

The jet’s owner is listed as TVPX Aircraft Solutions, a company providing trust services for U.S. business aviation, either due to citizenship rules or for privacy reasons.

Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, were seen in Ibiza around the same time the G700 departed the island. The couple was spotted heading toward his $500 million superyacht.

Amazon did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

Why It Matters: The acquisition of the Gulfstream G700 by Bezos is part of a broader pattern of high-profile, high-cost investments by the Amazon founder.

Bezos’ penchant for luxury is well-documented, including his $500 million superyacht, which costs $25 million annually to maintain. This yacht, named Koru, is so large it requires a support boat with a helipad, crane, and storage facilities.

In addition to his lavish spending on transportation, Bezos is also involved in other significant projects. He is helping build a 10,000-year clock worth $42 million, a project that began in 1995 and is being constructed inside a mountain in Texas.
