The world over, Cristiano Ronaldo is respected for his extraordinary speed, strength, and general athletic skill.
In 2015, when he was lighting up La Liga for Real Madrid, Ronaldo, then 36 years old, dropped £20 million on a Gulfstream G200 plane.
The Manchester United striker bought the luxurious vehicle because he frequently travels between Portugal and England. The vehicle has a top speed of 560 kilometers per hour.
The twin-engine aircraft, formerly known as the Astra Galaxy, has a capacity of four passengers and a small crew, with a maximum range of 3,910 miles.
Ronaldo boarded a private plane to celebrate Real Madrid’s Champions League win in 2017.
In addition, the cabin can be set up to accommodate as many as ten people with just two flight attendants.
After its initial flight in 1997 and certification from US and Israeli aviation authority in 1998, the G200 was made commercially available to the public for the first time in 1999.
250 versions of the plane were manufactured before production halted in 2011, by which time the G250 – now named the G280 – was on the rise.
The importance of Romelu Lukaku this season exceeds that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Virgil van Dijk.
In recent years, Ronaldo has frequently shared photos from his private jet with his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. and his partner Georgina Rodriguez.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has a full suite of modern conveniences including a wardrobe, Wi-Fi, a telephone, a fax machine, an electric oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, and an entertainment system, all of which were installed during a 2019 interior remodel.
During his five days of seclusion, Ronaldo is rumored to have flown from Faro, Portugal, to Manchester Airport.

During the final days of the summer transfer window, he re-signed with United from Juventus for an initial cost of £12.8 million.
It is speculated that Ronaldo also owns a Gulfstream G650, which has a range of 8,000 miles and costs more than twice as much as the G200.
The graduate of Sporting Lisbon’s youth system routinely appears near the top of Forbes’ sporting rich list, and reports indicate that United will pay him a staggering £480,000 each week.
