Rupert Murdoch is the Australian CEO of a huge multimedia conglomerate that includes Fox, Sky News, and more under the News Corp umbrella. Murdoch often needs to travel from his native Australia to his offices in the UK, and he purchased a $84 million private jet to help him do so.
The Gulfstream ferries him from Australia to London, where it is parked. The G650 was the newest private jet from the company, and Murdoch’s pilot flew it right off its original hangar to get to London. Murdoch joins other businessmen, like David Rubenstein (Carlyle Group), Tim Roberts (Perth), and Andrew Liveris (Dow Chemical) in purchasing this uber-luxurious jet.
