Red Bull driver Max Verstappen private jet is an indication of how he lives large and enjoys luxury and opulence by every measure.

The $12 million Dassault Falcon 900EX jet by its current market value is a reserve of a few top-earning sports personalities in the world.  He acquired it from billionaire tycoon Sir Richard Branson in 2020.

He often flies in this jet to various destinations across the world from his official residence in Monaco where he eats life with a big spoon.

The two-time Red Bull driver spends at least $2 million annually on maintaining the opulent jet.  But, compared to his huge which is close to $200 million, this amount seems insignificant.

This jet was registered as PH-DTF in 2021 after the purchase by the F1 star. The aircraft was constructed in 2008 by French aviation juggernaut Dassault, and it has been in service for 15 years.

The facilities and features of the jet still stand up to those of its contemporary rivals. Eight to twelve persons can fit in the capacious Falcon 900EX. Its 12 seats have the option of being reclining together to create a bed.

Its own bar is on board, which is great for the F1 star who partying is a huge part of his life. With a range of 5,182 miles (8,340 kilometers), the Falcon 900EX can go great distances, according to simpleflying.com.

Verstappen can have uninterrupted flights in his unique aircraft thanks to the F1 calendar, which spans the world from Las Vegas to Japan.

He reportedly used his private jet to visit every F1 venue in the 2021 season and uses it frequently now. The Red Bull driver has previously flown from circuit to circuit while sharing the jet with other Formula One drivers.

A huge part of Verstappen’s lavish lifestyle is supported by his enormous income. The Dutch driver now earns an eye-watering annual pay of £46.9 million ($60m), according to Forbes, after agreeing to a new long-term contract that keeps him with Red Bull until 2028.

Besides Verstapppen’s luxurious private jet at only 25 years old, he has a collection of 11 sleek cars still funded in part by a sizable portion of his income.

While he owns top-of-the-range cars, his Aston Martin Valkyrie is the highlight of his garage. The Valkyrie has a special place in his heart because it is a result of a project by renowned automotive engineer Adrian Newey.

He collaborated with a Red Bull designer to make the hypercar a reality. Only 150 Valkyries were ever made, and Verstappen owns one in his collection.

The first one went on sale at the end of 2021 for $3.5 million (£2.7 million). He also has three additional Aston Martin vehicles in his collection in addition to the Valkyrie.

The Dutchman also owns a 2018 Vantage, a DBS Superleggera, and the road-legal DB11 from the James Bond film “Spectre.”

In fact, Verstappen got himself into trouble in August 2023 when a family friend named Mark Cox tweeted a video of him driving the Valkyrie at high speed.
