In July 2022, Kylie Jenner posted a photo to Instagram that the internet could not ignore. Standing on a sunlit tarmac alongside Travis Scott, two enormous private jets gleaming behind them, she captioned it simply: “you wanna take mine or yours?” Within hours, the post had millions of likes and an equal measure of outrage. The image became the defining symbol of celebrity excess in the social media age, a visual shorthand that climate advocates and late-night comedians alike would reference for years. Kylie Jenner’s private jet had become a cultural flashpoint before most people even knew its tail number.
The aircraft at the center of it all is a Bombardier Global 7500, registered N810KJ and held through a company called Rise and Shine Air LLC, a nod to Kylie’s famously viral wake-up call to her daughter Stormi. Purchased in April 2020 for approximately $72.8 million, the jet is one of the most capable business aircraft ever built, with a range of 7,700 nautical miles, a top speed of Mach 0.925, and a cabin wide enough to house a master suite, a full bar, and Hermès blankets on every seat. Kylie didn’t just buy a plane. She built a flying extension of the Kylie brand, complete with bubblegum pink stripes, KJ-monogrammed seats, and a neon “Kylie” sign glowing from the cabin wall.
This guide covers everything about Kylie Jenner’s private jet: the full story of how she became a jet owner, the technical specs of the Global 7500, the custom interior that doubles as a brand statement, the carbon controversy that made her the face of celebrity aviation excess, and every famous flight in between. Whether you’re here for the aviation data or the cultural drama, there’s plenty of both.
Quick facts about Kylie Jenner’s private jet
Kylie Jenner’s Private Jet Fleet
Kylie Jenner owns one aircraft outright, but it is one of the most capable and recognizable business jets on the planet. The Bombardier Global 7500 is the first jet she has registered in her own entity, though she used chartered aircraft in the years before the purchase. Prior to owning the Global 7500, she had no personal aircraft registration on record, relying instead on chartered jets for brand trips and personal travel.
The Origin Story: How Kylie Jenner Became a Private Jet Owner
The path from riding in family jets to owning the world’s largest purpose-built business aircraft followed the arc of Kylie Jenner’s career: fast, expensive, and unmistakably on her own terms.
2019
The KylieSkin charter sets the aesthetic. For the launch of her KylieSkin product line, Kylie charters a Gulfstream painted in white and pink, flying her inner circle to Turks and Caicos. The trip establishes the pink private jet as part of her personal brand identity before she owns one herself, and it previews the color language she will replicate in every detail of her future aircraft.
April 2020
The Global 7500 purchase. Kylie acquires a brand-new Bombardier Global 7500 for approximately $72.8 million. The aircraft is initially registered as N939SG. She quickly establishes Rise and Shine Air LLC as the registered operator, a direct reference to her viral 2019 video of herself singing to wake up daughter Stormi Webster, and reregisters the aircraft as N810KJ: “8/10” for her August 10 birthday, “KJ” for her initials.
2020 – 2021
Custom livery and interior completed. The Global 7500 receives its now-iconic exterior: a white base coat, bubblegum pink stripes running the full length of the fuselage, and pink-tipped winglets. Inside, the cabin is fitted with cream leather seats embroidered with the KJ monogram, a KYLIE Cosmetics-branded carpet, a neon “Kylie” sign, and Hermès blankets at every seat.
July 2022
“You wanna take mine or yours?” goes viral. Kylie posts a photo of herself and Travis Scott standing between their two private jets on a sunlit tarmac. The caption reads: “you wanna take mine or yours?” The image spreads instantly and makes Kylie the central face of a growing public backlash against celebrity private jet culture, drawing major coverage from climate journalists and commentators worldwide.
July 2022
The 17-minute flight heard around the world. Flight tracking account @celebjets reveals that N810KJ flew just 17 minutes from Camarillo Airport to Van Nuys Airport, covering roughly 40 miles. The data spreads globally, triggering news coverage across the Boston Globe, Washington Post, NBC News, and dozens of international outlets. The trip was almost certainly a standard aircraft repositioning move, but the optics became a defining moment in the celebrity jet controversy of 2022.
2024
Operations continue at scale. N810KJ burns over 115,000 gallons of aviation fuel across the year, generating more than 1,100 metric tons of CO2. Kylie remains one of the most tracked private jet owners in the United States, with celebrity flight accounts maintaining regular updates on her routes.
2025
N810KJ tops 230 documented flights. The jet logs over 230 tracked flights, with Kylie spotted flying into Venice’s Marco Polo Airport as part of the high-profile fleet of celebrity aircraft attending Jeff Bezos’ wedding, keeping N810KJ firmly in the public and media spotlight.
Inside the Bombardier Global 7500: Specs and Performance
The Bombardier Global 7500 is not a standard-issue celebrity jet purchase. It is the largest purpose-built business aircraft ever manufactured, a distinction Bombardier has held since the type entered commercial service in 2018. With a range of 7,700 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.925, N810KJ can carry Kylie Jenner nonstop from Los Angeles to Tokyo, London, or Sydney. Most celebrity aircraft, including those operated by her Kardashian family members, require at least one fuel stop on comparable transcontinental or transatlantic routes.
The cabin spans 59.6 feet in length and eight feet in width, divided into four distinct living zones. Kylie’s configuration includes a master suite at the rear with a full-size bed, a dedicated lounge area, a dining section, and a forward galley and full bar. Two General Electric Passport engines, each producing more than 16,500 pounds of thrust, power the aircraft from a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, well above commercial air traffic. The jet also includes two full bathrooms and an optional shower.

The Interior: A Flying Kylie Brand Activation
Kylie Jenner did not take delivery of a stock Global 7500 interior. The cabin is a branded environment built around the same visual language as Kylie Cosmetics: cream, blush, and pink throughout. Leather seats are embroidered with the KJ monogram, and the cabin is bathed in signature pink neon lighting. Every seat comes fitted with a Hermès blanket. A neon sign spelling “Kylie” is mounted in the cabin, and KYLIE Cosmetics branding is woven into the carpet underfoot. The exterior is equally deliberate: a white fuselage with bubblegum pink stripes running its full length, and pink-tipped winglets visible from the tarmac long before the stairway drops.
What does N810KJ mean?
The tail number N810KJ is a personal signature. “810” translates to August 10, Kylie Jenner’s birthday. “KJ” are her initials. The aircraft is registered to Rise and Shine Air LLC, a reference to the widely shared 2019 video in which Kylie woke her daughter Stormi with a soft “rise and shine.” Both the tail number and the LLC name were chosen deliberately, consistent with how high-profile private jet owners typically use their aircraft registrations as personal brand assets.
The Carbon Controversy: Kylie Jenner and the Private Jet Debate
Kylie Jenner was not the only celebrity to face scrutiny over private jet emissions in 2022, but she became the most recognizable face of the story. A combination of timing, a particularly viral Instagram post, and a flight tracking account with a large following meant that her name became synonymous with the wider debate about whether the ultra-wealthy should continue flying privately while public climate pressure was at a peak.
The 17-Minute Flight
On July 12, 2022, N810KJ flew from Camarillo Airport to Van Nuys Airport in approximately 17 minutes, covering roughly 40 miles. Aviation professionals noted the trip was almost certainly a repositioning flight, meaning the aircraft was moving between facilities rather than carrying Kylie as a passenger. That context landed with little traction in the public response. The data was posted by @celebjets and spread to global media within hours, with outlets calculating the flight emitted more CO2 than many individuals produce across an entire year.
By 2024, the annual scale of N810KJ’s operations had grown substantially. Trackers estimated the jet burned over 115,000 gallons of aviation fuel across the year, generating more than 1,100 metric tons of CO2. The average American produces roughly 16 metric tons of CO2 annually from all sources combined. Kylie’s jet alone produced the equivalent of approximately 69 Americans’ full-year carbon footprints.
Among celebrity jet owners, Kylie’s numbers are significant but not the largest. Taylor Swift’s private jet operation generated an estimated 8,293 metric tons of CO2 in 2022 alone, placing her at the top of widely circulated ranking lists. What made Kylie’s case particularly resonant was the tone of the associated content: the “you wanna take mine or yours?” caption read as indifference at a moment when climate concern was unusually prominent in mainstream media coverage.

Kylie Jenner’s Most Famous Private Jet Moments
The KylieSkin Launch Flight (2019)
Before Kylie owned any aircraft, she established the template for how she would use private aviation: as a brand extension. For the launch of her KylieSkin skincare line in 2019, she chartered a Gulfstream painted in white with pink accents, flying her team and family to Turks and Caicos for a resort shoot. The matching pink jet and pink Kylie branding was not coincidental. It was a preview of the aesthetic she would replicate in every detail of her own aircraft the following year, from the fuselage stripes to the cabin lighting.
“You Wanna Take Mine or Yours?” (July 2022)
The most discussed moment in Kylie Jenner’s private jet history required no flight at all. In July 2022, she posted a photo to Instagram of herself and Travis Scott, each the registered owner of a separate private jet, standing together on a tarmac with both aircraft visible behind them. The caption, “you wanna take mine or yours?” was read by critics as emblematic of how insulated the ultra-wealthy had become from the climate conversation the rest of the world was having. The post racked up millions of likes and an equal wave of criticism, and it permanently shifted how Kylie’s aviation habits were framed in media coverage.
The 17-Minute Flight That Changed the Conversation (July 2022)
Days after the double-jet photo, @celebjets published the data for N810KJ’s July 12 flight: a 17-minute hop from Camarillo to Van Nuys in the Los Angeles area, a route any car could cover in under an hour. The backlash was immediate. The Boston Globe, Washington Post, NBC News, and dozens of international outlets ran the story. Aviation commentators noted the flight was almost certainly a routine aircraft repositioning move, a standard practice in which an empty aircraft is relocated between facilities ahead of passenger pickup. The clarification arrived too late to matter. The 17-minute flight became a lasting case study in how publicly available flight tracking data can reshape the narrative around celebrity lifestyles in ways that resist correction.
Jeff Bezos’ Venice Wedding (2025)
N810KJ was among a fleet of celebrity-owned and charter aircraft that converged on Venice’s Marco Polo Airport in 2025 for Jeff Bezos’ high-profile wedding celebrations. The convergence of private jets from across the United States and Europe was itself a news story, with multiple outlets tracking the arrivals. Kylie’s pink-striped Global 7500 was spotted among the inbound aircraft, a moment that underscored how the jet functions simultaneously as transportation and as a visible marker of access to a very particular tier of social events.
How Kylie Jenner’s Jet Compares to Other Celebrity Jets
Kylie Jenner’s Bombardier Global 7500 sits near the top of the celebrity jet market by both capability and cost. At $72.8 million, it is one of the most expensive business jets any celebrity currently owns outright, and its 7,700 NM range places it in a small group of aircraft genuinely capable of nonstop intercontinental service on the routes celebrities actually fly.
Her sister Kim Kardashian operates a Gulfstream G650ER (tail N1980K, registered to Noel Air LLC) that lists for approximately $75 million and delivers a range of 7,500 NM, making the two aircraft genuinely comparable in performance class. Kim’s jet was acquired after a longer period of sharing the Kardashian family’s aircraft, while Kylie purchased her own at a notably younger age and went straight to the top tier of the market.
Travis Scott, whose jet appeared alongside Kylie’s in the famous July 2022 photo, operates his own aircraft separately through his Cactus Jack branding. Drake’s Boeing 767 converted airliner, known as “Air Drake,” is the largest aircraft owned by any figure in the music industry, though it operates on an entirely different cost and logistics model compared to a purpose-built business jet. Against the wider field, Kylie’s Global 7500 stands out as the acquisition of an owner who knew exactly what she was buying, treated the aircraft as a brand statement from day one, and never particularly cared who noticed.
