Kim Kardashian has invested $60 million to customize her $95 million Gulfstream G650ER jet, aiming for ultimate comfort.

She purchased the Gulfstream G650ER in 2022 for $95 million and spent an additional $60 million on lavish customizations. Kardashian's goal was to maintain airborne comfort similar to her standards on the ground. As co-founder of SKIMS, a clothing brand, she upgraded seats, covers, furnishings, bathrooms, and fixtures on her private jet.

The Gulfstream G650ER boasts a maximum range of 7,500 nautical miles (NM), a high-speed cruise at Mach 0.90, a long-range cruise at Mach 0.85, and a maximum operating Mach number (Mmo) of Mach 0.925. It can take off from distances as short as 6,299 feet under standard conditions with maximum takeoff weight (MTOW). The initial cruise altitude is set at 41,000 feet with a maximum cruising altitude of 51,000 feet.
