How Many Jets Does Musk Own?
Previously repotted to own a not-so-frugal four-jet fleet, including a Gulfstream 650ER, two
Gulfstream 550s and a Dassault Falcon 900B, Musk may have recently whittled down his
collection. Currently, FAA records show only the G650ER and one G550 listed under the shell
company Musk uses to purchase his aircraft, Falcon Landing (which shares the same address as
Space X headquarters).
Maybe he’s simply restructured ownership for additional privacy after a highly publicized
feud with the owner of ElonJet, which rigorously tracks the billionaire’s flight data. Or maybe the
notorious cost-cutter is making room for his newest palace in the sky. After all, who’d want to fly
anything else?

Does Musk Own More Jets Than Jeff Bezos?
Jeff Bezos recently dethroned Musk as the richest man in the world, according to the Bloomberg
Billionaire Index, but Musk may still be king of the sky if FAA records are accurate.
Currently, records show the Amazon founder’s Poplar Glen company owns just two Gulfstreams
to Musk’s three. He does, however, also own a host of smaller aircraft along with a $5.5 million
Seattle hangar and is alleged to own a 10-seater Pilatus PC-24.
