Kylie Jenner, one of the most influential social media personalities with over 400 million Instagram followers, achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the youngest self-made billionaire at the age of 21, according to Forbes Magazine in 2019. Her success is not only tied to her presence on social media but also to her cosmetics company, Kylie Cosmetics.
In April 2020, Jenner, due to her significant wealth and business success, purchased a Bombardier Global Express 7500 Jet for $72.8 million. This luxurious acquisition reflects her lavish lifestyle, which is fueled by lucrative endorsements and her thriving beauty business.
Kylie Jenner had been accustomed to private jet travel even before acquiring the Bombardier Global 7500. Her jet-setting lifestyle included flying on various business jets worldwide, which facilitated her personal and business commitments.
In July 2019, Jenner and her family celebrated the launch of new Kylie Skin products by flying from Van Nuys airport in California to the Caribbean Islands of Turks and Caicos. They used a Gulfstream jet that was painted in white and pink and featured the name of her new collection, “Kylie Skin,” on the front and engines. Inside the jet, plush gray seats with pink pillows adorned with the Kylie Skin logo created a luxurious and stylish atmosphere.
When she acquired the Bombardier Global 7500 in 2020, Jenner initially registered it as N939SG but later changed the registration to N810KJ, signifying her birthday and initials. The aircraft is powered by two General Electric Passport 20 engines, specifically designed for Bombardier’s Global 7500 and 8000 models.
The Bombardier Global 7500, nicknamed “Kylie Air,” features a custom white livery with pink stripes, including pink-colored winglets. It boasts an interior with ample customization, including overhead lighting, beige seats with “KJ” initials, multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms, a master suite, a crew rest area, a veranda, and spacious storage closets for the reality star.
Every seat in the cabin is equipped with Bombardier’s revolutionary Nuage seat, offering enhanced comfort and innovative features such as a floating base for fluid movement, a tilt link system for deep recline, and a tilting headrest for extra support.
Kylie Air also provides an opulent onboard catering service, offering a variety of gourmet dishes, making the travel experience fit for royalty. Some of the menu options include cheese and spinach ravioli, roasted tomato bisque, Seared Mahi Mahi, sautéed spinach, grilled vegetables, and pomme purée.
The Bombardier Global 7500, introduced into service in December 2018, has a remarkable range of 7,700 nautical miles, enabling it to connect distant cities in extended flights. Its high cruise speed of 0.925 Mach allows it to cover major routes in a shorter time, making it a preferred choice for long-haul private jet travel. The Global 7500 has been well-received in the private jet market, with operators like VistaJet, NetJets, and Phenix Jet featuring it in their fleets.
