In fact, Ronaldo owns a private jet before Messi and Neymar. In 2015, the Portuguese football star spent £20 million (nearly $28 million) to buy a Gulfstream G200 commercial jet.
Gulfstream G200 was originally named Astra Galaxy, launched by Galaxy Aerospace in 1999. In 2001, Galaxy Aerospace was acquired by Gulfstream Aerospace and Astra Galaxy was renamed Gulfstream G200.
Gulfstream G200 has a length of 18.97m, a width of 17.7m, a height of 6.53m, weighs 8.7 tons and has a maximum payload of more than 16 tons.

Powering the G200 are two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A engines, for a maximum speed of 900km/h, a cruise speed of 850km/h. The maximum altitude that G200 can achieve is 13.7km, the operating range is about 6,300km.
Inside, Gulfstream G200 is more than 80 square meters, can accommodate 8-10 passengers and 2 crew members. Launched in 1999, the interior of the G200 is as luxurious as modern aircraft models.
Produced from 1999 to 2011, only 250 Gulfstream G200s were produced, of which 9 were discontinued. Ronaldo uses this G200 to travel within Europe with his family. However, most of the use of this plane is to serve Ronaldo’s girlfriend and children.

According to European media, Ronaldo also owns a more expensive Gulfstream G650. The G650 can accommodate 11-18 passengers, has a top speed of 980km/h and has a range of 13,000km.
Introduced in 2012, the G650 belongs to Gulfstream’s latest generation of large aircraft. At the time of launch, the Gulfstream G650 cost up to 64.5 million USD and the order list was up to 200 orders and the waiting time was about 3 years.

Thus, not only does Ronaldo own a personal plane earlier than Messi and Neymar, the Portuguese superstar’s collection is also more massive and expensive than his South American colleagues.
