Freestream Aircraft sells first pre-owned G650 for $72 million

UPDATE: Although the 2013 list price for a G650 is $64.5 million, the list price in 2008 was $59 million, making the seller more than $10 million on the transaction.

Freestream Aircraft, a global business jet broker, has successfully sold the first pre-owned G650 for $72 million.

The aircraft – with a manufacturer serial number of 6023 – belonged to Fabiana Flosi, the wife of Bernie Ecclestone, who is the president and CEO of Formula One racing. She took delivery of it in July this year, but the aircraft sold in September.

Bizjet Blogger reported that the aircraft was bought by Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, a Thai businessman and the owner of the UK’s Leicester City Football Club.

Srivaddhanaprabha was advised by US aircraft broker Global Jet Sales through its joint venture with Thai charter company, OrientSKY. UK law firm Clark Ricketts advised the seller, with the buyer advised by UK firms Mishcon de Reya and Stephenson Harwood.

The selling price of $72 million is more than the buyer paid for the aircraft – the 2013 list price of a G650 is $65.5 million – but it is equivalent to what a new G650 delivering in 2017 would cost with escalation. The G650 has a backlog of more than four years.

I wonder how much it costs to fly first class from Bangkok to London and I wonder how many times he or his family makes this journey.

 

How long until it pays for itself???

Probably long after he's dead... these things aren't cheap to run!!! The fuel alone probably costs more than 1st class tickets.
