The Real Cost of Owning a Private Jet (It Loses Value the Second You Buy It)

A private jet looks like the ultimate symbol of wealth — until you look at what it actually costs to own. In this video, we break down the real economics of private jet ownership: why the aircraft starts losing value the moment it leaves the factory, how bonus depreciation lets buyers write off the entire purchase price in year one, the real break-even math between owning and chartering, and how NetJets founder Richard Santulli's fractional ownership model became so difficult to run that even Warren Buffett called it his single biggest financial worry inside Berkshire Hathaway. If you're into wealth, economics, business, and how the ultra-rich actually structure their money — this one's for you. For education and entertainment only.
