LOS ANGELES — Kanye West is investing $100 million in two luxury private jets, outfitted with high-end interiors, including $40,000 Italian leather seats and Yeezy-branded furnishings. The rapper plans to rent the jets to affluent clients as part of a new business venture.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that West’s team initiated discussions about the project six months ago, seeking to create a high-end private aviation service catering to executives, celebrities, and wealthy travelers.
The aircraft under consideration include a $38 million Gulfstream G650ER and a $40 million Dassault Falcon 900LX. West is expected to invest an additional $20 million in upgrades, featuring custom Yeezy-inspired furniture, a fully stocked bar, and exclusive luxury amenities.
A consultant in the luxury design industry confirmed that the jets’ interiors will incorporate West’s signature design elements, including gold-accented details and a black-and-cream color scheme.
West continues to generate revenue from his music and Yeezy fashion brand, despite losing major endorsement deals. His recent business moves aim to diversify his portfolio, even as financial concerns persist.
Past debts have reportedly reached $53 million, with mounting expenses linked to halted real estate projects, outstanding taxes, and legal disputes.
The rapper’s team has not commented on the details of the private jet investment.
