Grant Cardone has talked openly about his Gulfstreams, and his own account shows a clear ladder: a Gulfstream G200 first, then a G550, then a G650ER. The FAA registry adds a twist. The registration number N365GC, which has been discussed in connection with a G650ER, now sits on a 2024 Bombardier Global 7500 type aircraft.

This page separates what Cardone has said, what the FAA registry shows, and what we could not tie together.

The short answer

Grant Cardone has said his current jet is a Gulfstream G650ER, his third airplane after a G200 and a G550 (Business Jet Traveler Q&A). We found no aircraft registered under his own name, and the registration N365GC now belongs to a Bombardier owned by an LLC we could not link to him.

What Jet Does Grant Cardone Have?

In a Q&A with Business Jet Traveler, Cardone described his flying history in his own words. His first private jet was a Gulfstream 200, which he said he bought at 54, never having flown privately before. His previous jet was a Gulfstream 550, which he said he kept for three years. His current jet, the same interview says, is a Gulfstream G650ER, “my third plane.” He also said he owns two AugustaWestland AW139 helicopters, and that if he were buying today he would pick the Falcon 10X, or otherwise “probably buy the Gulfstream G700 next.”

The Business Jet Traveler article shows no publication date, so treat the “current jet” as the situation at the time of the interview, not necessarily today.

The registration question

The registration N365GC has been discussed online in connection with a G650ER. We could not open a source that documents that pairing, so we do not rely on it. A photo on a spotting site would in any case not be an ownership record.

What the FAA registry shows today

We searched the FAA aircraft registry by N-number on November 6, 2026. N365GC now returns a Bombardier BD-700-2A12, manufactured in 2024, with a certificate issued September 26, 2025. The registered owner is Gulf Coast Capital Holdings LLC of Aventura, Florida.

BD-700-2A12 is the type designation behind the Global 7500: an FAA airworthiness directive for BD-700-2A12 airplanes, published in the Federal Register on February 10, 2023, requires revisions to the “Bombardier Global 7500 AFM” (the flight manual).

A search of the FAA name database for “CARDONE” returned no aircraft.

The Jet Ladder: Why He Says Private Flying Pays For Itself

Cardone’s argument for private flying is about business, and he makes it plainly. In the Business Jet Traveler Q&A he describes the purpose of the plane as “Ninety-nine percent business,” and says it lets him bring his family along. He also jokes that justifying a $65 million jet only requires enough airline miles: “To make sense of buying a $65 million private plane, you just need to put in three million miles on American and Delta.”

That is his claim, and it is a salesman’s framing. It is also not wrong in structure: a jet is a time machine for people whose hourly value is high and whose schedule includes many cities in few days. The honest version of the claim has conditions, covered in the cost section below.

The ladder itself is a common pattern in the segment. Owners often start with a smaller or older jet to test the habit, then step up to newer, longer-range aircraft once the flying hours justify it. Cardone’s path from a G200 to a G550 to a G650ER fits that pattern.

G650ER vs Global 7500: The Two Aircraft in This Story

The two aircraft attached to the registration N365GC belong to the same top class: ultra-long-range, large-cabin jets that fly nonstop between continents.

Gulfstream G650ER

The G650ER is Gulfstream’s long-range version of the G650. For range figures across the ultra-long-range class, see our guide to the longest-range private jets. For pricing on the Gulfstream, see Gulfstream G650 price.

Bombardier Global 7500

The Global 7500 is Bombardier’s flagship before the Global 8000. Bombardier lists the closely related Global 8000 at a maximum operating altitude of 51,000 ft and a takeoff distance of 5,760 ft at sea level, ISA, maximum takeoff weight (Bombardier, 2026). For the Bombardier line and what each model costs, see the Bombardier private jet price list.

Why we do not call the Bombardier his

The registry ties N365GC to Gulf Coast Capital Holdings LLC, not to Cardone, and we found no named press report that links that company to him. In the Business Jet Traveler Q&A, Cardone named the Falcon 10X and the Gulfstream G700 as the jets he would consider next, not a Bombardier. Until a named source makes the link, the Global 7500 on that number is a registry fact, not his jet.

Does Private Flying Pay For a Business Owner?

For most owners the answer depends on hours flown. Ownership has fixed costs that run whether the plane moves or not: crew, insurance, hangar space, maintenance programs, and depreciation. We break these down in the cost of owning a private jet.

For founders who fly less than owners like Cardone, a jet card or charter can cover the same trips without the fixed costs. Our explainer on jet card cost and the guide to private jet charter cost lay out the comparison.

How We Checked

On November 6, 2026 we searched the FAA aircraft registry by the N-number N365GC and by the owner name CARDONE. The registry shows the current owner of a number, not who flew in it years ago, and owners often use LLCs and trusts, so an empty name search does not prove a person has never owned an aircraft. We read Cardone’s own description of his jets in a Business Jet Traveler Q&A and treated it as his statement. For other celebrity jets we check the same way, for example Andrew Tate’s and MrBeast’s. The full list is in our celebrity private jets hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plane does Grant Cardone own?
In a Business Jet Traveler Q&A, Cardone described a Gulfstream G650ER as his current jet, after owning a G550 and a G200. We found no aircraft registered under his name in the FAA database, and owners usually register through companies, so this does not prove otherwise.
Does Grant Cardone own a Gulfstream?
By his own account, yes, in the past and at the time of the interview: the G200, G550 and G650ER he named are all Gulfstream models. The registration N365GC, discussed in connection with a G650ER, now belongs to a Bombardier registered to an LLC we could not link to him.
Is owning a private jet worth it for a business?
It depends on how many hours you fly and how much your time is worth. Ownership carries fixed costs for crew, insurance, hangar and maintenance. Owners who fly little often do better with a jet card or charter, which turns those fixed costs into a per-trip price.
