Kanye West is making a big move to improve his finances by buying two private jets worth over $100 million. He plans to rent them out to rich clients as part of a new business.
According to The Mirror US, West is buying a $38 million Gulfstream G650ER and a $40 million Dassault Falcon 900LX, both popular luxury jets. He also plans to spend an extra $20 million to upgrade the interiors with expensive Italian leather, Yeezy-branded furniture, and other high-end features.
A source in the luxury design industry said that West wants the jets to feel exclusive and stylish. Reports say the seats alone could cost $40,000 each, and the planes will include a fully stocked bar and other luxury details. While rental prices are not yet known, experts believe wealthy clients will pay a lot for such a high-end experience.
One insider said:
“The goal is to make money. He wants this to be part of his business and investments.”
This is another business move for West, who has worked in music, fashion, and tech with mixed success.
West’s new business comes at a difficult time. He has been criticized for making offensive comments, including anti-Semitic remarks and using Nazi symbols in his fashion designs. Because of this, major brands like Adidas, Balenciaga, and GAP cut ties with him, costing him a lot of money. He was once worth over $1 billion, but his net worth dropped after these controversies.
There are also rumors that West and his wife, Bianca Censori, might be getting a divorce. Some people think this jet business is not just about money, but also about regaining control of his life.
