The Kwara born billionaire joined the league of top wealthy Nigerians with her newly acquired private jet.
It
is arguably the fastest civilian jet in the world, has room for a
basketball court, 8,000-statute-mile range and some of the most
sophisticated avionics rivaling nearly anything in the sky. And it’s
also perfect for doing business on a global scale. Gulfstream described
the aircraft as ultra-high-speed, ultra-long-range business jet and the
gold standard in business aviation.
The main price of the aircraft is $65 million but other charges could have raised it to $71 million, and according to US-based Forbes magazine, the Gulfstream G650 has an order book of 200 customers throughout the world.
“A $65 million price tag doesn’t seem to detract from the fascination with this incredible airplane. While the rest of the business aviation
industry is battling the depressed economy, there seems to be a buoyant
market in the US and abroad for this ultra-high-priced,
high-performance jet.
“And why not? With a top speed of 92 per cent of the speed of sound (arguably the fastest civilian jet in the world)…this airplane is perfect for doing business on a global scale.
“Because of its superlatives, including price, however, it also appeals greatly to the ‘If you’ve got it, flaunt it’ crowd,”
