Celebrities and Their Gulfstream IV Jets

The Gulfstream IV—a classic private jet from the 1980s—continues to captivate high‑profile owners with its blend of comfort and performance. Capable of cruising at Mach 0.80 and covering approximately 4,150 nautical miles thanks to its Rolls‑Royce engines, the aircraft remains a favorite even though production has ceased.
