A Californian man was hyped to pick up a new Tesla Model X until he took delivery of a new $13,000,000 private jet in Texas.
The lucky man purchased the Phenom 300E plane and was left more than impressed at his pick.
He aimed to use it to grow his business.
But what flashy features did the plane actually have?

Private Jets are the ultimate luxury purchase
Everyone likes to get to places quickly, but owners of private aircraft really can live out people’s dreams.
But, as you’d expect, these purchases carry quite the cost and have other money-crunching aspects other than the initial asking price.
This YouTuber, though, was left completely in a haze when he took delivery of his new private jet. And that’s despite being hyped for the new Tesla he’d just bought.
He bought a Phenom 300E Private Jet
YouTuber Meet Kevin was no stranger to extravagant purchases.
He previously treated himself to a Tesla Model X and was left excited at his electric ride. But his new toy really was a ‘new level of freedom to travel for work’.
He splashed his cash on a 2021 Phenom 300E with a very cool painted exterior with gold ‘circuit board’ design.
The YouTuber even had plans to change the tail number – 694PP.
Inside the plane was equally as impressive, however, with nine plush, rotating seats perfect for meetings, a carbon fibre design, and plush entertainment screens.
He was even impressed by the way the windows were built.
“The Phenom 300E is capable of speeds up to Mach 0.80, […] has best-in-class cabin altitude, and now offers autothrottle for a more […] intuitive flying experience,” stated Embraer, the manufacturer of the aircraft.
The costs to operate the plane do not come cheap
Once he was inside the cabin of the plane, Kevin decided to break down some of the numbers and revealed just how much it would cost to actually operate.
Bear in mind, it cost him $13 million to purchase.
“Planes are expensive; the only reason it would ever make sense to own your own plane is if you were flying 300-500 hours a year,” Kevin admitted.
But, as he was planning to use it to help his business, he called it an investment.
“The variable costs on this plane are somewhere between $1,000 to $1,500 bucks an hour, the fixed costs on the plane are somewhere between $2,500 to $3,500 an hour, depending on how many hours you fly,” he continued.
Hey, we told you it wasn’t a cheap way to get about.
“I’m really excited, it’s expensive, and we’re gonna have to put a lot of money into it, but it’s gonna be wildly worth it,” he said.
We sure are impressed with Kevin’s plush purchase.
