One of the wealthiest sportsmen in the world is Cristiano Ronaldo, the former superstar of Real Madrid, currently playing for Al-Nassr FC in the Saudi-Pro-League. Flying privately is one of the world’s most opulent experiences, according to Portuguese star. One of the biggest stars of the sport Cristiano Ronaldo owns two private jets, the Gulfstream G200 and the Gulfstream G650.
Although Ronaldo has been a flying private from the beginning of his career, he didn’t decide to purchase a private aircraft until 2015. The Mirror claims that the former Real Madrid hero spent an incredible $25 million on the Gulfstream G200, a limited edition aircraft with just 250 made. Together with a small crew, Ronaldo’s Gulfstream G200 can hold up to four guests.
So let us look at the two private jets owned by Cristiano Ronaldo in detail:
1. Gulfstream G200:
Cristiano Ronaldo bought the Gulfstream G200 in 2015 for a whopping $25 million and in all honesty it seems to be worth every penny. He has been spotted in his social media posts along with his family and girlfriend many times.
The Gulfstream G200, registered as EC-KBC, is described as having a width of 2.19 meters and an overall length of 7.44 meters by Aviapages. In addition, Ronaldo chose a divan that has three chairs that can be turned into beds, eight additional seats, plus a bathroom, of course. Also, he had the airplane restored in 2019 after it was manufactured in 2006.

The G200, originally referred to as the “Astra Galaxy,” has a maximum speed of 560 mph. With four people in tow, its range reaches 3,910 miles, making it perfect for short hops from his new headquarters in England to hubs around Europe. However, the G200 has a roomy cabin that can accommodate up to eight or ten people on a single journey. Eventually, Ronaldo sold his G200 in 2022 as he wanted to upgrade to something bigger and so did he.
2. Gulfstream G650:
In all honesty, it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo’s $64.5 million purchase of the Gulfstream G650 in 2019 was well worth it. He frequently publishes pictures of himself and his family and fiancée on social media. Cristiano is a big fan of travelling lavishly and this decision to purchase the G650 justifies that.

The G650 has an endurance rating of up to 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) and can accommodate up to 18 passengers. With a top speed cruise of 594 mph (956 kph), it is also faster. One of the best options for business travel is the Gulfstream G650, which has two Rolls-Royce engines and can reach a maximum speed of Mach 0.925 (1,142 kph).
These are two of the best private jets that the Portuguese legend owns and boasts about in his social media posts along with his family and friends. He does not seem to shy away from flaunting his wealth and the assets and luxuries he owns as he has seen it all, from rags to riches.
