$170M PGA star Rory McIlroy’s lavish new private jet: All you need to know

Rory McIlroy is one of the top names in the golf circuit currently. He has won almost every title in the world, with his achievements including 41 professional titles and four major championships.

Over the years, McIlroy has emerged as the face of golf, especially after Tiger Woods became less active on the PGA Tour. So far, he has earned $90,989,348 on the Tour, which is second only to Woods.

With such earnings, it’s no surprise to see the 34-year-old Northern Irishman owning some luxuries. In his latest addition to these luxuries, he has purchased a new luxury private jet.

According to reports, McIlroy recently bought a 2022 Gulfstream G650ER. RadarAtlas2, a popular flight-tracking account on X, confirmed the golfer’s new jet purchase in October.

“Rory McIlroy’s new airplane #N650MN is airborne,” radaratlas2 wrote. “This is a 2022 Gulfstream G650ER. Today is the first time it has flown in over a month.

As per the manufacturer’s website, the 2022 Gulfstream G650ER is among the most reliable jets in the world. There are more than 500 units currently in service, with each worth $38.5 million pre-owned.

Previously, the $170 million star owned a Bombardier Challenger 605, which cost more than $30 million. This jet could reach a maximum speed of Mach 0.885 and had a maximum range of 3,910 miles.
