A private jet can be quite expensive to acquire and maintain. But many celebrities think it's worth it, even if their new toy isn't entirely environmentally friendly. While some multimillionaires like Mark Zuckerberg prefer to fly charter flights, others have decided to get their own plane.

Let's see which of the stars is the proud owner of their own aircraft. Some of them fly their own planes, others employ professional pilots.

Tom Cruise

After receiving a pilot's license, the actor acquired several planes.

Tom Cruise's passion for flying began on the set of Top Gun. After receiving a pilot's license, the actor acquired several planes. His most prominent acquisition was the Gulfstream IV-SP, which includes a cinema room and hot tub, according to Forbes.

Harrison Ford

Few of the celebrities who own planes enjoy flying themselves. And even fewer stars boast a true private jet collection. Harrison Ford owns a fleet of 6 aircraft, including a vintage Waco Taperwing jet and one Bell 407 helicopter.

John Travolta

John Travolta also prefers to fly his own planes, of which, according to various sources, he has from 5 to 7 aircraft. The actor even equipped a runway for them at home. The star of "Pulp Fiction", by the way, was awarded the title of honorary pilot of the Australian airline Qantas.

Jim Carrey

The actor does not hide his pride in this plane.

The desire to have his own plane cost Jim Carrey over $ 50 million. The actor paid this amount in 2001 for the Gulfstream V, which overcomes the speed of sound and is one of the fastest and safest air vehicles. The actor does not hide his pride in this plane, and there are rumors that whenever he is filmed in some film, where aircraft are featured, his acquisition must necessarily be in the frame.

Jay-Z

When rapper Jay-Z celebrated Father's Day for the first time in 2012, Beyonce decided to give him an outstanding gift. The singer gave her husband a private jet Bombardier Challenger 850 worth $ 40 million.

This jet includes a living room, bedroom, kitchen and two bathrooms. Other celebrities might have bought a used plane, but Beyoncé didn't waste time on trifles: Jay-Z's gift was brand new.

Celine Dion

Like the aforementioned couple, Celine Dion owns a private island, so it comes as no surprise that she is among the celebrities who have their own jet. The Canadian singer has bought herself a Bombardier Global Express, which is not as distinctive as the Jay-Z plane, but can carry 10 passengers and fly over 5,000 nautical miles without refueling.

Oprah Winfrey

Oprah owns Global Express XRS worth over $ 42 million.

The first black billionaire also couldn't resist the temptation to own a private jet. Oprah owns Global Express XRS worth over $ 42 million. An aircraft with an individual design can carry up to 10 passengers and rise to a height of 15, 5 thousand meters.

Tiger Woods

Even after losing more than $ 100 million in a scandalous divorce, Tiger Woods makes enough money to afford to buy and service his Gulfstream G550. Woods also has two yachts, so the golf star can choose between sea and air travel.

Steven Spielberg

One of the highest-grossing directors in Hollywood and co-owner of the DreamWorks studio, Steven Spielberg, has acquired Bombardier Global Express. Spielberg's plane is valued at 50 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
