10 Celebs Who Have Their Own Private Jets

Celebrity life is often about opulence, but hard times can bring down even the brightest stars.

Celebrity life comes with a lot of fame and fortune, which is usually reflected by their astounding net worth and earnings. Just to give you an idea, singer Taylor Swift earned as much as $185 million in 2019, according to Forbes. Meanwhile, Business Insider puts her current net worth at $360 million. On the other hand, reality star Kylie Jenner earned as much as $170 million this year. She boasts a net worth of $1 billion.

This is precisely why most celebrities you love tend to drive the nicest cars and live in palatial mansions. They also wear the most expensive clothes and jewelry. Indeed, celebrity life is often about opulence. And for a select few, they take opulence one step further by acquiring their own a private jet. Let’s take a look at who these celebs are, along with others who have become seriously broke:

9. Owns A Private Jet: Oprah Winfrey

As you may know, Oprah Winfrey started out as a talk show host and later became a true entertainment mogul.

7. Owns A Private Jet: Beyoncé And Jay-Z

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are considered music royalty. And so, it only makes sense that the couple choose to fly private anywhere they go in the world.

2. Owns A Private Jet: Tyler Perry

In Hollywood, Tyler Perry enjoys various roles. On the one hand, he is an incredible actor and comedian. Once behind the scenes, however, Perry can also serve as a writer, director, and producer.
