Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' gleaming brand new $80 million private jet was spotted at Los Angeles Airport over Labor Day weekend.
A sleek-looking Gulfstream G700, capable of flying at nearly the speed of sound, was idling just next to the runway at Van Nuys Airport on Sunday, according to a video posted to X by journalist John Schreiber.
It's unclear if Bezos was riding around in the shiny new toy, but the tycoon was photographed in Los Angeles over the holiday weekend with his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez.
The couple went on a double date with Kris Jenner and her longtime partner Corey Gamble at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi. According to People.
Bezos is the world's second-richest person by net worth. Bloomberg Billionaires Index Rating Trump recently added the Gulfstream to his fleet of three other private jets for $202 billion, according to reports last month.
The G700 is considered a premium long-range business jet, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 0.925 (about 710 miles per hour).
It is approximately 110 feet long and has a wingspan of 103 feet.
The luxury aircraft's spacious interior features up to five living areas, including private staterooms, dining areas, lounges and crew rest areas.
Inside, the seats are crafted from premium leather and the interior is finished with fine wood and customizable finishes.
Bezos also enjoys the perks of a master suite with a fixed bed, its own bathroom, and an optional stand-up shower.
There are also kitchens and restrooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, a circadian lighting system that mimics sunrise and sunset, temperature control, fresh air circulation and a tranquil cabin environment.
The G700 has a maximum range of 7,500 nautical miles.
Bezos' plane made 28 flights over 39 days, leaving behind 264 tons of carbon dioxide emissions — 17 times the amount emitted by the average American in a year. According to JetSpy: and other publicly available data.
Bezos' representatives point out that he uses sustainable aviation fuel for his travels, reduces greenhouse gas pollution and pays for carbon offsets to fund projects that offset the carbon emissions generated by his plane and yacht travels.
Bezos appears to have tried to keep his purchase of the plane a secret, taking advantage of a Federal Aviation Administration program that allows jet owners to conceal information about their aircraft.
The FAA Privacy ICAO Aircraft Address (PIA) program allows aircraft owners to use a temporary, random address that changes the aircraft's identification number, making it harder for the public to track the flight.
Jack Sweeney, the Florida college student who drew the ire of Elon Musk and Taylor Swift by posting flight-tracking data of their private jets on his social media accounts, was also keeping an eye on Bezos' new jet.
Bezos is also said to own a Gulfstream G650, the predecessor to the G700, and a Pilatus PC-24.
