Get ready to fly Air Jay-Z. Well, not quite, but the rapper now has a private jet courtesy of his wife, Beyoncé.
As new parents, Beyoncé, 30, didn't think a new tie or set of golf clubs would be a good enough gift for husband Jay-Z's first Father's Day as a daddy. She decided a private jet would be a better choice. In January, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Blue Ivy to the world.
The private Bombardier Challenger 850 jet is decked out to suit the needs of the wealthy family. Beyoncé reportedly dropped $50 million on the giant gift. The luxury jet, weighing 35 thousand pounds, can seat 15 passengers, making it a perfect vehicle for family vacations across the world with the couple's extended family.
The luxurious Father's Day jet is more like an apartment. It comes with a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and two full bathrooms, The Nation reports.
This isn't the first time Beyoncé bought an expensive, extravagant gift for her 42-year-old hubby. For being supportive during her pregnancy, she gave Jay-Z a $500k blue sapphire ring, which may have been a symbol for daughter Blue Ivy.
With such an expensive first Father's Day gift, one has to wonder what Beyonce plans to give Jay-Z for future presents. Perhaps a private island to fly to on the new jet?
The new gift may be a convenience for Jay-Z who was accused of skipping out on a $250k bill for 55 hours of flight time on a company's private jet in 2010. Now he won't have to worry about private company bills with his own private plane.
The couple was recently seen backstage at a Coldplay concert in Manchester, UK. The couple is good friends with the band's singer, Chris Martin and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. The two couples will reportedly take a family road trip together after the summer.
