YouTubers With Private Jets: Who Owns One and Who Just Films in Them

On December 23, 2025, the FAA issued a registration for a Hawker business jet, N505XP, to a company called MrBeastYouTube LLC. Seventeen days earlier, MrBeast had given a Hawker 400XP away on camera to a 20-year-old pilot from Jamaica.

That is the strange shape of YouTubers with private jets. The biggest creator on the platform has a jet on the US register, yet he says he flies Southwest, and the jets he buys tend to end up as prizes.

This guide checks every creator against the aircraft registers. It covers the three YouTubers with a jet on a current register, the one whose old jet is now held in trust, and the stars who charter, borrow, or put “my jet” in a title they cannot back up.

Which YouTubers Own a Private Jet

Very few. Plenty of creators fly private, but only three have a jet that traces to a current registration, and one of those looks like a video prop.

MrBeast: The Jet His Company Registered Looks Like a Prize

MrBeast’s video “100 Pilots Fight For A Private Jet” went up on December 6, 2025. AvBrief reported that Jabari “Treezy” Brown, a 20-year-old Jamaican pilot, won a Hawker worth $2.4 million, and that it was at least the second business jet MrBeast had given away. Watch the 100 Pilots Fight For A Private Jet video on YouTube.

JustHelicopters identified the prize as a Hawker 400XP and quoted Brown: “This is my brand-new jet, let’s go!” He said he hoped to start a charter company with it.

The FAA file adds the part nobody reported. MrBeastYouTube LLC of Greenville, North Carolina, holds N505XP, serial RK-505, which the FAA lists as a Raytheon 400A, the same model code it uses for other Hawker 400XPs. The certificate is dated December 23, 2025, and it is still in the LLC’s name ten months later.

The type and the timing match the prize jet, but no public source ties N505XP to that video, so treat the link as likely, not proven. Either way, it is the only aircraft in the US file under any MrBeast company.

He gave jets away before. In November 2022, “Last To Take Hand Off Jet, Keeps It!” was won by the Sidemen’s Harry Lewis, known as W2S, who gave the $2.5 million prize to his younger siblings, according to Bailiwick Express.

In July 2025, “Survive 100 Days Trapped In A Private Jet, Keep It” handed a Hawker 800 to pilot Armando Carrion. He told Supercar Blondie in May 2026: “We sold it for around $2.5 million.”

For his own travel, MrBeast’s line is the opposite of a flex. “I’ve flown Southwest multiple times already this year,” he posted in February 2025, after a fan photographed him asleep on an airliner and asked if he was now “MrBroke.”

Jake Paul: The Only Paul Brother With a Jet

Jake Paul announced his jet on February 12, 2025, with the caption “Bought my first jet” and the line “Went global cause I’m global.” TMZ described a dark oak and white cabin with beige seats that recline flat.

Simple Flying identified it as a Bombardier Global Express operating as N801AD. In the FAA file, the same airframe, serial 9029, now flies as N69JP for Paul Air LLC of San Juan, Puerto Rico, under a certificate issued September 2, 2025.

The build year is the detail the YouTube titles skip. Logan Paul’s November 2025 vlog called it “My Brother’s $45,000,000 Private Jet,” but the FAA lists the airframe as built in 1999, before Bombardier announced the improved XRS in October 2003. Watch the My Brother’s $45,000,000 Private Jet video on YouTube.

Simple Flying puts pre-owned Global Express sales at $7 million to $12 million, with an average near $9.3 million. Paul has never published what he paid. Our boxers with private jets guide covers the jet’s tail-number history in more detail.

Logan Paul: Charter Jets, and a $400,000 Door Dispute

Logan Paul flies private often, but no aircraft in the FAA file traces to him or his companies. His best-documented flight is the one that went wrong.

In April 2025, the charter operator Dumont Aircraft Charter LLC, trading as Rennia Global, sued him for more than $400,000 over a damaged cabin door. “I opened the door, I thought I did a good deed,” he said in his vlog, adding that he had to write a letter to the FAA. Watch the My Plane Door Exploded video on YouTube.

According to Dexerto, the company dismissed the case on April 17, 2025, the day after his video, with each side paying its own costs. The aircraft was a charter, which is the arrangement the rest of his flying points to as well.

Linus Tech Tips: A 1990 Falcon Bought for Work

The most surprising owner is the tech reviewer. Transport Canada’s register lists C-FXOO, a Dassault Falcon 900, serial 86, built in 1990, registered on November 10, 2025 to 1548194 B.C. Ltd., operating as Influence Air, of Surrey, British Columbia.

Ground Control, which broke the story in January 2026, traced the registration to Linus Media Group’s headquarters address. Linus Sebastian confirmed it on April 2, 2026, in a video titled “The Gamer Jet is Real! and it Cost $0*,” which describes a Falcon 900B “to be used for work.” Watch the The Gamer Jet is Real! and it Cost $0* video on YouTube.

The “$0” is resale logic, not a price. EarlyGame reports he says he paid less than the roughly $5 million similar planes list for, that a non-disclosure agreement covers the sale, and that he expects to recover most of the cost when he sells.

He nicknamed it the “Millenial Falcon.” A three-engine trijet with intercontinental range is a lot of airplane for a tech channel, which is exactly why his audience argued about it.

Dan Bilzerian: The Jet Behind the Instagram Brand

Dan Bilzerian built a following on photos taken aboard a Gulfstream, and that jet was real. Corporate Jet Investor reported in October 2014 that he had bought Gulfstream IV serial 1036, then registered N45AC, and that it would become N701DB.

His caption: “I told my Dad I bought this G4, he said: Congratulations son, by your age I had three.” In April 2016, Maxim reported TMZ’s finding that a jet chartered to Hillary Clinton’s press corps carried a tail number registered to his company, Goat Airways LLC.

Today the FAA lists N701DB, serial 1036, a 1987 Gulfstream IV, under Kenmore Crew Leasing Inc as trustee, a registration issued March 20, 2025. Owner trusts hide the beneficial owner, so the file cannot say whether Bilzerian still has an interest in the jet.

The Creators Who Charter

Most of YouTube’s biggest names rent their jets by the trip. That is the sensible choice for a creator who flies in bursts, and it shows up in the record every time something goes wrong.

IShowSpeed

On his 2025 Africa tour, IShowSpeed said on a December 31 stream that a private jet company he had hired two months earlier failed to get landing permits in time, so he rescheduled and flew commercially. The Namibia Civil Aviation Authority told The Namibian it received the application less than 11 hours before the planned landing.

Kai Cenat

A December 2020 Kai Cenat video is titled “I Bought A PRIVATE JET For My 19th Birthday.” No aircraft in the FAA file traces to him,, and the video dates from his early clickbait era, before he was famous. Watch the I Bought A PRIVATE JET For My 19th Birthday video on YouTube.

KSI and the Sidemen

Sidemen videos are titled “KSI’s private jet,” but we found no outlet reporting that KSI bought an aircraft, and none in the FAA file traces to him. The Sidemen’s one real jet was the Hawker W2S won from MrBeast in 2022 and passed to his siblings.

PewDiePie

PewDiePie chartered once, for a reason no flex video would invent. Moving to Japan in May 2022, he explained: “Edgar is 10 kilos,” and “we’re flying private jet because my dog is too fat.” The pug was over the airline’s cabin limit. Watch the It finally happened! video on YouTube.

Casey Neistat: YouTube’s Most Famous Flyer Owns No Jet

No creator did more for aviation on YouTube than Casey Neistat. “THE $21,000 FIRST CLASS AIRPLANE SEAT,” his September 2016 Emirates video, has passed 80 million views, and Laughing Squid reported he got the seat as a free upgrade. Watch the THE $21,000 FIRST CLASS AIRPLANE SEAT video on YouTube.

His “MY OWN LEAR JET!!” video a month later was a joke title. A pilot offered him a free seat on an empty jet moving from Teterboro to Philadelphia: “I am getting my own private jet, but I only get it for like a half an hour flight.” He said he felt “more like cargo” than a guest. Watch the MY OWN LEAR JET!! video on YouTube.

That free ride was an empty leg, the same kind of repositioning flight that now sells as discounted empty leg deals.

The Origin Story: How YouTube Learned to Sell the Private Jet

More than a decade of creator jets, from a borrowed seat to a registered trijet.

Why So Few Creators Buy the Jet

Ownership is a fixed cost, and creator travel is lumpy. Simple Flying estimates a Global Express costs about $1.78 million a year to run at 200 flight hours, whether or not there is a tour that year.

Carrion made the same point about his prize Hawker 800, which he sold rather than keep. A charter operator absorbs crew, hangar and maintenance, and the creator pays only for the trips that make content.

The owners on this list all bought old airframes: a 1999 Global Express, a 1990 Falcon and a Hawker 400XP from a line built between 2003 and 2009. Older jets cost a fraction of new ones up front, which is how a creator gets a relatively affordable private jet into a thumbnail.

How YouTubers Compare to Athletes and Rappers

The pattern matches other famous groups. Our athletes with private jets roundup and rappers with private jets guide both turn up far more charter and borrowed jets than owned ones.

What sets creators apart is that the jet is often the content itself. MrBeast’s jets are prizes, Linus’s is a set for gaming videos, and Logan Paul’s WWE pledge was a storyline before it was a purchase.
