Rory McIlroy, a renowned golfer, has been dominating the field, recently achieving a career grand slam by winning the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. With this victory, McIlroy has secured five major championships, including wins at the US Open and PGA Championship. In addition to his success on the course, McIlroy has amassed over $100 million from the PGA Tour, endorsing his status as one of the top earners in golf alongside Tiger Woods. His lucrative endorsement deals have further contributed to his net worth, now exceeding $250 million.

McIlroy's financial success has allowed him to own a Gulfstream G650ER private jet. This aircraft, registered under TVPX Aircraft Solutions, was added to their fleet in April 2025. Built in 2022 with a serial number of 6510, the jet is known for its long-range capabilities and luxurious cabin. Although details of the aircraft's interior remain undisclosed, the G650ER offers highly customizable options.

Other notable figures who own or operate Gulfstream G650 variants include Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Nike founder Phil Knight. The G650 series, known for its speed and range, has been a popular choice among the wealthy.
