Dan Bilzerian’s private jet is a 1987 Gulfstream IV, registration N701DB, the airplane behind years of his Instagram posts. In July 2026, running for Congress, he put a value on it in a sworn filing: somewhere between $1 million and $5 million.

That figure puts the Dan Bilzerian private jet in the same value bracket as his cars. It also sits awkwardly beside the FAA register, which stopped listing his company, Goat Airways LLC, and since March 20, 2025 has shown a trust company as the registered owner.

This guide covers the airplane itself, what the FAA file and his House disclosure each say, the 2016 episode when the jet carried Hillary Clinton’s press corps, how much it actually flies, and how it compares with the jets of other creators and fighters.

Dan Bilzerian’s Private Jet Fleet

For all the jet imagery, the fleet is one airplane. No other aircraft appears under his name or Goat Airways in the FAA’s current or deregistered files, and his 2026 House filing lists exactly one: a “Gulfstream IV personal aircraft.”

The Gulfstream IV is a long-range, large-cabin business jet. Bilzerian’s example came off the line in 1987, so it is now nearly 40 years old.

The Origin Story: From “By Your Age I Had Three” to a Sworn Filing

The jet’s paper trail runs from an Instagram caption in 2014 to a congressional disclosure in 2026.

October 2014

Bilzerian buys a Gulfstream IV. Corporate Jet Investor reports the purchase of serial 1036, then registered N45AC, and says it will become N701DB. Similar jets were listed at just over $6 million.

April 2016

The jet flies the Clinton press corps. TMZ matches the tail number of the plane carrying reporters on Hillary Clinton’s campaign to one registered to Goat Airways LLC. A charter company had leased it to the campaign.

May 2016

Clinton goes on his no-fly list. Bilzerian tells TMZ the campaign is barred from using his jet.

2024

25 flights in a year. Flight-tracking data cited by Simple Flying logs 59 flight hours, mostly around Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale and Antigua.

March 20, 2025

A trustee takes over the registration. The FAA issues a new certificate for N701DB to Kenmore Crew Leasing Inc as trustee, valid to March 31, 2032.

April 7, 2026

Bilzerian for Congress registers. He files to challenge Rep. Randy Fine in the Republican primary for Florida’s 6th district.

July 10, 2026

The jet goes on a sworn disclosure. His amended House financial disclosure lists a Gulfstream IV valued at $1,000,001 to $5,000,000.

August 2026

Second place. He finishes second in the primary with 16,773 votes, or 18.7%, behind Fine’s 56.9%.

When he bought the airplane, Bilzerian posted it to Instagram with a line about his father, the corporate raider Paul Bilzerian. “I told my Dad I bought this G4, he said: ‘Congratulations son, by your age I had three.'”

Inside the Gulfstream IV: Two Records, Two Answers

Ask the FAA who owns N701DB and you get a trust company in Bellingham, Washington. Ask Bilzerian, under penalty of law, and he lists a Gulfstream IV among his own assets.

What the FAA register shows

In the FAA’s October 22, 2026 release, N701DB is a 1987 Gulfstream G-IV, serial 1036, registered to Kenmore Crew Leasing Inc, trustee, with a certificate issued March 20, 2025. Goat Airways LLC, the company named in coverage from 2016 to 2024, appears nowhere in the file.

Kenmore Crew Leasing is not an airline or a charter operator. The same release lists it as trustee on 60 aircraft, which is how trust registrations work: the register names the trust company, not the person the trust holds the airplane for.

So the register alone cannot say who owns N701DB today. Fleet guides that still give Goat Airways as the FAA registrant are reading a record that changed in March 2025.

What his sworn House disclosure shows

As a candidate, Bilzerian had to file a financial disclosure with the Clerk of the House. His amended report, signed July 10, 2026 and covering January 1, 2025 to April 15, 2026, lists “Gulfstream IV Aircraft” with the description “Gulfstream IV personal aircraft” and a value of $1,000,001 to $5,000,000.

The same report names him managing member of Goat Airways, LLC. It does not give a tail number, but it is the only aircraft he lists, and Goat Airways is the company FAA records tied to N701DB in 2016 and still in 2024.

One line on the form raises a question it does not answer. The jet’s entry reports income of $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 in 2025 and again in 2026 up to the filing date, under the income type “capital gains,” while still valuing the airplane as an asset he holds.

Worth less than the jewelry

On his own form, the Gulfstream IV sits in the same $1 million to $5 million bracket as his vehicles (a Bentley Continental GT, a Cadillac Escalade, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and a box truck) and his boats and RVs. His jewelry, artwork and furnishings are listed at over $50 million. All values are self-reported ranges, not appraisals.

The low value is not a surprise. When he bought the jet in 2014, Corporate Jet Investor found similar Gulfstream IVs listed at just over $6 million, and that was 12 years and many flight hours ago.

How Much Dan Bilzerian’s Jet Actually Flies

For a jet that defined an online persona, N701DB flies very little. Flight-tracking data from JetSpy, reported by Simple Flying in September 2024, counted 25 flights and 59 flight hours in 2024.

Those flights burned about 31,414 gallons (118,900 liters) of jet fuel and produced just over 300 metric tons of carbon emissions, about 661,000 pounds. The busiest airports were Harry Reid International in Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, and V.C. Bird International in Antigua.

An old jet on a light schedule

Fifty-nine hours a year is little more than an hour a week. Simple Flying’s figures are an estimate from flight tracking, which misses flights flown with tracking blocked or outside receiver coverage, so treat them as a floor rather than an exact total.

Dan Bilzerian’s Most Famous Private Jet Moments

Most celebrity jets are famous for their interiors. This one is famous for who else ended up on board.

Air Hillary’s press plane (2016)

In April 2016, TMZ reported that the jet carrying the press corps following Hillary Clinton matched a tail number registered to Goat Airways LLC. Maxim, relaying the report, said a charter company had leased the plane to the campaign and likely never mentioned whose it was.

The airplane was the same one Bilzerian filled with models and party captions on Instagram, which is what made the story travel. A week later he told TMZ that Clinton had been put on his “no-fly list.”

The episode shows how many private jets earn their keep. An owner places the airplane with a charter company, which rents it to paying customers the owner may never meet.

The jet that did not fly the campaign (2026)

Bilzerian ran for Congress in 2026 with his own Gulfstream on his books, and his campaign’s spending shows no sign of it. The 67 itemized disbursements Bilzerian for Congress reported to the FEC, dated April 17 to July 29, 2026, include no payment to any aircraft operator or charter company.

The travel lines are Airbnb stays, hotels in Daytona Beach and elsewhere, and two Turo car rentals.

The race itself drew national attention for other reasons, including an AI-generated antisemitic ad attacking Fine that leaders in both parties condemned. He lost the August primary by more than 34,000 votes.

How Dan Bilzerian’s Jet Compares to Other Celebrity Jets

Bilzerian is one of very few internet personalities with a heavy jet on an aircraft register at all. In our survey of YouTubers with private jets, most of the biggest names charter, and the few registered owners fly very different airplanes.

The closest match is Floyd Mayweather’s old “Air Mayweather 2,” the same model three years younger. That jet also left its celebrity registrant, moving to a new LLC in January 2026, as our boxers’ private jets guide details.

Jake Paul’s Global Express is the step up: a bigger, longer-range Bombardier bought in 2025. MrBeast’s company went the other way, with a light Hawker 400XP built for short hops.

Bilzerian’s jet is the oldest of the four. It proves that the airplane in the photos was real, and his own valuation shows that a real jet can be a modest asset.

FAQ

Yes, by his own sworn account. His amended House financial disclosure, signed July 10, 2026, lists a Gulfstream IV personal aircraft valued at $1 million to $5 million. The FAA register shows the jet he has flown since 2014, N701DB, under a trustee rather than his name.
He has a Gulfstream IV, a long-range business jet. His example was built in 1987, carries serial number 1036, and is powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines. The type has a range of 4,220 nautical miles and seats up to 19.
The tail number is N701DB, and the DB matches his initials. Corporate Jet Investor reported in October 2014 that the jet, then registered N45AC, would take the new mark after his purchase.
Bilzerian valued it at $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 on his July 2026 House disclosure. That is a self-reported range, not an appraisal. When he bought it in 2014, similar Gulfstream IVs were listed at just over $6 million.
Kenmore Crew Leasing Inc, as trustee, according to the FAA’s October 22, 2026 release. The certificate was issued March 20, 2025. A trust registration names the trust company, not the person it holds the aircraft for, so the register does not name the beneficial owner.
Goat Airways LLC is Bilzerian’s company. FAA records tied it to N701DB in 2016, when TMZ matched the jet to the Clinton press plane, and his 2026 House disclosure names him its managing member. It is no longer the FAA registrant of the jet.
Her campaign’s press corps did, briefly. In April 2016 TMZ reported that a charter company had leased the jet to the campaign to carry reporters. In May 2016 Bilzerian told TMZ the campaign was on his no-fly list.
Not often. Flight-tracking data reported by Simple Flying counted 25 flights and 59 flight hours in 2024, producing just over 300 metric tons of carbon emissions. Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale and Antigua were its busiest airports.
