Inside Elon Musk’s Rs 640 Crore Private Jet With 5 Living Areas, 20 Panoramic Windows, 2 Bathrooms, And Space For 19

When people imagine the lifestyle of the world’s richest man, they often picture rockets, electric cars, and late-night tweets that move global markets. Rarely do they pause to imagine what happens between

destinations. For Elon Musk, travel is not just about speed or efficiency. It is about turning the sky into a private address. After rewriting the rules of space travel, electric mobility, and social media ownership, Musk quietly added another headline-making asset to his portfolio. A private jet so advanced, so indulgent, and so meticulously designed that it gives luxury homes a serious complex. Valued at roughly Rs 640 crore according to The Financial Express, NDTV, and GQ, the Gulfstream G700 is not merely a mode of transport. It is a statement in altitude. This aircraft has five separate living areas, twenty panoramic windows, and interiors that feel closer to a boutique hotel than a business jet. It is also one of the most expensive private planes owned by any billionaire alive today.

Why Elon Musk Chose The Gulfstream G700

Shortly after completing his takeover of Twitter, Musk placed an order for the Gulfstream G700, according to Mint. At the time, it raised eyebrows not because he already owned multiple private jets but because the G700 represents the absolute top tier of aviation engineering. The aircraft is capable of flying nearly 7,500 nautical miles in a single stretch. That means Musk can fly nonstop from New York to Dubai or from Los Angeles to London without even thinking about refuelling. The jet can cruise at an altitude of 51,000 feet, higher than most commercial aircraft, ensuring smoother journeys above turbulence. Equipped with Rolls Royce engines, advanced avionics, and dual head-up displays, the G700 is built as much for safety as it is for indulgence. It also comes with its own high-speed Wi-Fi system, ensuring Musk stays connected whether he is approving rocket launches or replying to memes.

A Look Inside The Flying Mansion

Step inside the Gulfstream G700 and the idea of a conventional aircraft cabin disappears instantly. The jet is divided into five distinct living zones that can be customised for dining, working, resting and entertainment. There are two fully equipped restrooms, plush seating that converts into sleeping spaces and interiors designed to minimise fatigue on long journeys. One of the most outstanding features is the presence of twenty oval windows. These flood the cabin with natural light and makes the space feel open rather than enclosed. That's not all, cabin air quality is also among the best in aviation. It has advanced filtration and humidity controls that keep passengers comfortable even during marathon flights.

As per The Financial Express and GQ, the price tag of approximately Rs 640 crore is not just a reflection of luxury but also of the technology embedded into every inch of the aircraft.

How Much Is Elon Musk Worth In 2025

Musk’s jet may be extravagant, but it is still a fraction of his ever-expanding fortune. Musk’s net worth surged in 2025, making him the first individual in history to cross the $600 billion mark, Forbes reported.A major contributor to this leap is SpaceX, which recently saw a tender offer valuing the company at around $800 billion. Musk owns an estimated 42 percent stake, pushing the value of his holding to approximately $336 billion. SpaceX is also reportedly targeting an IPO in 2026 that could value the firm at $1.5 trillion. His 12 percent stake in Tesla remains another massive asset, even after accounting for legal disputes around stock options.

Musk’s Fascination With Flying

This is not Musk’s first love affair with luxury jets. He already owns multiple Gulfstream aircraft registered under Falcon Landing, an LLC connected to SpaceX and Tesla. Before upgrading to the G700, Musk primarily used the Gulfstream G650ER, valued at around $66.5 million, or Rs 509 crore, according to The Financial Express, NDTV, and GQ. In 2018 alone, Musk reportedly flew over 150,000 miles on his private jet, according to The Washington Post. During his first week as Twitter’s owner, he clocked more than 8,300 miles in the air.

More Than Just A Status Symbol

While critics often question the carbon footprint of private jets, Musk’s choice reflects a practical reality of his schedule. Between overseeing rocket launches, managing electric vehicle production, and navigating global business deals, commercial travel simply does not fit the equation.

Interestingly, the Gulfstream G700 is also among the more fuel-efficient jets in its class.

Trivia That Makes This Jet Even More Fascinating

The Gulfstream G700 holds the record for the largest cabin in the business jet category. Its windows are designed to reduce eye strain during long flights. The aircraft’s noise levels are among the lowest recorded in private aviation. Each G700 can be customised so extensively that no two interiors are exactly alike.
