Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most emblematic figures in world soccer, recently made an impressive purchase, swapping his Gulfstream G200 for a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express XRS. This ultra-luxurious private jet, worth 50 million euros, has been entirely customized for the player, proudly bearing his initials“CR7” next to the door and a silhouette of him in his famous celebratory pose. The aircraft is not only a symbol of his success, but also an ideal means of transport for his business and personal travels.

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 kilometers, 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-rate 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 customized to match Ronaldo’s preferences. Interior finishes are meticulously designed to offer maximum comfort, and every detail has been thought out 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 euros thanks to his contract with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and his commercial partnerships. The jet represents not only an efficient means of transport, but also a symbol of the luxury and prestige associated with his personal “CR7” brand.
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, operating costs are also high, estimated at around €5,200 per flight hour, which includes the aircraft’ s maintenance and operation. But with a staggering annual income, these costs are a mere detail for the soccer 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 integral this jet has become to his lifestyle, offering him and his family a top-of-the-range travel experience.
