Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has always wanted to own the best in class luxury goods. This collector of luxury cars and watches has a unique story with his private jet, the Gulfstream G650, which he only managed to get seven years after it was officially produced.
According to a report by The Sun, currently players from Portugal are known to be using a Gulfstream G650 private jet. Even though the plane was first produced in 2008, Ronaldo only managed to buy it seven years after it was released, namely in 2015. While waiting to get the super-luxury private jet, Ronaldo used the lower type, namely the Gulfstream G200.
This fact was first revealed when Ronaldo toured Asia in 2015. To China to be precise. His girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, who is known for frequently posting their life on social media, was first seen using a Gulfstream G650. According to a report by The Sun, Ronaldo at that time spent 50 million pounds sterling or around IDR 1 trillion to get a Gulfstream G650.
"Ronaldo lives like a king, and when he travels by private jet, he does so with unmatched style. The player opted for the G650 which can carry up to 18 passengers at once," wrote The Sun in its report.
In the same report, The Sun said Ronaldo's luxurious lifestyle was quite shameful considering his title as the world's highest-paid athlete.
"With an annual salary of more than USD 200 million and a net worth of around USD 500 million (Rp. 7.7 trillion), it is not surprising that Ronaldo chose the Gulfstream G650 as his personal means of transportation."

Superstar sepak bola Cristiano Ronaldoselalu berhasrat memiliki barang mewah yang terbaik di kelasnya. Kolektor mobil dan jam tangan mewah itu punya cerita unik dengan jet pribadi miliknya, Gulfstream G650, yang baru berhasil dia dapatkan tujuh tahun setelah resmi diproduksi.
Menurut laporan The Sun, saat ini pemain asal Portugal diketahui menggunakan private jet bertipe Gulfstream G650. Meski pesawat itu pertama kali diproduksi tahun 2008, Ronaldo baru berhasil membelinya tujuh tahun setelah dirilis yakni pada 2015. Selama menunggu untuk mendapatkan jet pribadi supermewah itu, Ronaldo menggunakan tipe di bawahnya yakni Gulfstream G200.
Fakta tersebut pertama kali terungkap ketika Ronaldo melakukan tur Asia di tahun 2015. Tepatnya ke China. Sang kekasih, Georgina Rodriguez, yang terkenal sering memposting kehidupan mereka ke media sosial, pertama kali terlihat menggunakan Gulfstream G650. Menurut laporan The Sun, Ronaldo pada saat itu merogoh kocek 50 juta poundsterling atau sekitar Rp1 triliun untuk mendapatkan Gulfstream G650.
"Ronaldo hidup seperti raja, dan saat bepergian dengan jet pribadi, ia melakukannya dengan gaya yang tak tertandingi. Pemain ini memilih G650 yang mampu mengangkut hingga 18 penumpang sekaligus," tulis The Sun dalam laporannya.
Dalam laporan yang sama, The Sun menyebut gaya hidup Ronaldo yang selalu tampil mewah cukup dapat dimalumi mengingat predikatnya sebagai atlet dengan bayaran termahal dunia.
"Dengan gaji tahunan lebih dari USD 200 juta dan kekayaan bersih sekitar USD 500 juta (Rp7,7 triliun), tidak mengherankan jika Ronaldo memilih Gulfstream G650 sebagai alat transportasi pribadinya."
