Billionaire Rick Ross shows off his new luxury private jet worth $5 billion with his name emblazoned in gold

Rick Ross, a producer, record executive, and rapper, just acquired a “$5 billion” private plane.

Ross stated it was his first plane, but it was probably not going to be his last, while revealing his new acquisition.

The Grammy-nominated performer claims to be an avid car collector and spends a large portion of his $55 million net worth on vehicles.

He recently held his own auto exhibition at his house in Atlanta, where more than 100 of his vehicles were on display.

Rick Ross’ new jet is massive, with enough room to carry 18 people.

It was actually designed with 20 seats but Ross had it reconfigured to make it more spacious.

Speaking of which, the aircraft has been completely altered, with opulent leather seats throughout and an eye-catching paintwork outside.

With a big “Rick Ross” inscription on the fuselage and a black and gold silhouette, it’s actually pretty impressive.

When the rapper shared pictures of his latest purchase to Instagram, several high-profile celebrities took the opportunity to weigh in.

Fellow rappers Big Sean, TY Dolla Sign and Busta Rhymes all took a moment to congratulate Ross.

Even German fashion designer Philipp Plein and wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson commented.

The jet in question is a 2012 Gulfstream G550.

It was actually bought new by Wells Fargo, as in the bank, before being acquired by one of Rick Ross’ companies, dubbed ‘Maybach Air’, in 2023.

The 47-year-old is a big fan of the Maybach car brand, even his record label Maybach Music Group is named after the German automaker.

We’re not 100 percent sure what Rick Ross means when he calls it a ‘$5 billion jet’, though.

Prices for a Gulfstream G550 range between $15 million and $40 million.
