At What Net Worth Can You Afford A Private Jet?

Grant Cardone is walking through a private jet when he gets the question: how wealthy do you need to be to buy one? His first response is less about the bank balance than the itinerary.

"Number one, it's not really about how much money you have, like are you even gonna use it?" he says.

The Short, "At What Net Worth Can You Afford A Private Jet?", drew more than 140,000 views before its first day was over, far beyond his usual Shorts audience. The comments had already passed ten times his usual full-day total, with viewers imagining a few more delivery shifts or a Black Friday deal making the purchase possible.

Inside the cabin, Cardone puts the recurring bill front and center. He estimates servicing his plane at $3 million to $4 million annually, naming hangars, pilots, fuel and insurance. Buying the aircraft is only the beginning of the expense.

His suggested purchase threshold: the jet should represent just 2% to 5% of your net worth. But he also recalls using his first plane extensively to justify owning it, making the practical question as important as the financial one.

For anyone considering the leap, his answer is to charter first. Work out what trips the aircraft would actually serve before taking on the costs of keeping one ready to fly.
