Gulfstream Aerospace G650
The G650 was Gulfstream's clean-sheet flagship when deliveries began in December 2012, offering a 7,000 nm range at Mach 0.85 and a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925. In 2013 a G650 flew westbound around the world in 41 hours 7 minutes, and the programme won the 2014 Collier Trophy. The last G650-family aircraft left the Savannah line in 2025; the longer-range G650ER accounts for most of the fleet.
In short: The Gulfstream Aerospace G650 is a Ultra-Long-Range with a range of 7,000 nm, a cruise speed of 516 knots and room for 14 passengers. It lists at about $64.5M new and costs roughly $4,900 an hour to operate (estimate).

Inside the training of a business-jet flight attendant
Business-jet flight attendants train for far more than polished service: fire, smoke, medical events, ditching, evacuation, food safety and the oddities of each cabin. The job is often optional by regulation on smaller jets, but the training is built around the moment when the pilots are busy and the cabin has to act.
Why So Many Billionaires Choose the Gulfstream G650
The Gulfstream G650 became the billionaire jet of the 2010s by joining intercontinental range, high cruise speed, a large cabin and a strong resale market. Even after production ended in 2025, scarcity has kept the model in demand.
