Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most iconic figures in world football, recently made an impressive purchase, swapping his Gulfstream G200 for a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS. The ultra-luxurious private jet, worth €50 million, has been fully customised for the player, proudly bearing his initials ‘CR7‘ next to the door and a silhouette of him in his famous celebratory pose. Not only is this aircraft a symbol of his success, it is also an ideal means of transport for his business and personal travel.
A private jet at the cutting edge of technology and luxury
Born at the end of the last century, the Bombardier Global Express XRS has become one of the most sought-after private jets in the business world. Its elegant design and ability to cover very long distances make it an unbeatable choice. With a cruising speed in excess of 900 km/h and a range of over 9,000 kilometres, the Global Express XRS enables Ronaldo to travel non-stop between Europe and the Middle East, where he is currently based. This aircraft combines performance and comfort, offering first-class on-board living space with three distinct cabin areas and a fully equipped galley.
The interior is a true haven of luxury, with top-of-the-range materials and a design customised to match Ronaldo’s preferences. The interior finishes are meticulously crafted to offer maximum comfort, and every detail has been designed to meet the needs of the Portuguese star.
A strategic and symbolic investment
The acquisition of this Bombardier Global Express XRS is a strategic investment for Cristiano Ronaldo, who has seen his annual revenues exceed €200 million thanks to his contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and his commercial partnerships. The jet is not only an efficient means of transport, but also a symbol of the luxury and prestige associated with his personal brand ‘CR7’.
The purchase of this 50 million euro jet represents a quarter of his annual salary, which shows the scale of his investment. However, beyond the purchase cost, the running costs are also high, estimated at around €5,200 per flying hour, which includes the maintenance and operation of the aircraft. But with a staggering annual income, these costs are a mere detail for the football star.
A luxury family trip
Since acquiring his Global Express XRS, Ronaldo and his family have already taken advantage of this exceptional private jet to escape to Lapland and celebrate the festive season in unforgettable surroundings. This example of travel shows just how much this jet has become an integral part of his lifestyle, offering him and his family a top-of-the-range travel experience.
