Being one of the best quarterbacks walking on the planet, does have some perks. Apart from accolades and trophies, Russell Wilson has also picked up a lot of money in his career. And has made some wise purchases, among them is his private jet Gulfstream IV. Lets find out more about Wilson and Ciara’s jet.
A private jet has been called the closest thing to a time machine. More than ease and luxury, it’s a giant time saver for the rich and elite. Hence, it should not come as a shocker that the Super Bowl winner owns one.

The G4 was manufactured in 2000 and Wilson got his hands on it in 2021. While it can cost around $30 million at first purchase, most likely Wilson got a pre-owned Jet for himself and family. This should’ve costed him about 5-7 million dollars.
It looks like Russell Wilson has a 2000 Gulfstream G-IV that was registered by his LLC last year.
