Being one of the best quarterbacks walking on the planet, does have some perks. Apart from accolades and trophies, Russell Wilson has also picked up a lot of money in his career. And has made some wise purchases, among them is his private jet Gulfstream IV. Lets find out more about Wilson and Ciara’s jet.
A private jet has been called the closest thing to a time machine. More than ease and luxury, it’s a giant time saver for the rich and elite. Hence, it should not come as a shocker that the Super Bowl winner owns one.
Russell Wilson flies like a G4
The G4 was manufactured in 2000 and Wilson got his hands on it in 2021. While it can cost around $30 million at first purchase, most likely Wilson got a pre-owned Jet for himself and family. This should’ve costed him about 5-7 million dollars.
The cost of operating a G4 is around 1-2 million dollars per year. But the jet comes with all the amenities imaginable. The G4 is considered a family jet and can have 14-19 members inside the plane when in the air, depending on the customizations.

Spacious enough for a party or two, this jet can handle everything that comes in the busy lives of an athlete and a musician. As Wilson and Ciara jointly own this piece of engineering brilliance through their LLC. But what other NFL superstars have access to private jets?
Stars who like to be in the sky
Tom Brady is a proud owner of Gulfstream G550, purchased in 2010. A newer and improved version of Wilson’s private jet. The initial cost of the jet is above $60 million, though its not known whether Brady purchased a pre-owned one or not.
QB Aaron Rodgers has also made use of private jets, during the coronavirus and after his injury with the Jets. However, he does not own the jet, but has borrowed them for special occasions.
On the other hand, Patrick Mahomes is shareowner of a company ‘Airshare’ which is in the business of co-owning private jets. So, he has access to plenty of private jets.
