Do Beyoncé and Jay-Z own a private jet? Singer gifted her husband a plane for 2012 Father's Day

Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, have a combined net worth of over $3 billion and have often gifted each other lavish presents. One of these was a jet that Beyoncé bought for the rapper as a gift on Father's Day 2012.

Jay-Z received a Bombardier Challenger 850 on Father's Day from Queen Bey. The 15-seater private jet epitomizes luxury and provides the best-in-class interiors with incomparable lavishness for VIP guests.

It is paramount to the needs of Beyoncé and her husband, as it makes commuting a matter of luxury in their exhaustive schedule. Beyoncé needs to travel across countries in a very short time to balance her back-to-back performances as a singer with her business commitments.

The private jet also helps Jay-Z commute between business meetings, record deals, and other events. The 54-year-old can also conduct business meetings inside the jet as it has advanced communication technology and high-speed internet.

A private jet also allows Beyoncé's high-profile family the luxury of safety and privacy. Air travel is the only mode of travel that offers the highest level of discretion and security. The jet is stacked with various safety measures and also flies from private terminals in most cases, which ensures privacy.

The $40 million Bombardier Challenger 850 comes with a range of approximately 2811 nautical miles, making traveling long distances across oceans a matter of luxury without any hassles.
