  • Michael Jordan has acquired a Gulfstream G650ER, valued at approximately $65 million, featuring a custom paint job with his iconic Jumpman logo.
  • Fans have criticized the purchase due to its environmental impact, as the jet's delivery flights have already produced significant carbon emissions.
