At $65 million, the Gulfstream G650 is the biggest, fastest, and overall best private jet money can buy.

It also takes a lot of patience to get your hands on one.

You'll have to wait years for delivery after you place an order.

But once you're on board, you can fly around the planet faster and higher than on any commercial jet, in a cabin flooded with natural light and filled with air that is richer than what you breathe in cheaper planes.

It's easy to see why the G650 is in a class of its own.

An earlier version of this post was written by Alex Davies.

The G650 is the largest purpose-built private jet on the market, and has the tallest, longest, and widest cabin in its class.

At its maximum takeoff weight, it can climb to 41,000 feet — above bad weather and crowded commercial jet routes — in 22 minutes.

Its range is more than 8,000 miles. Flying from London at near its top speed, it can reach New York and Beijing. At a slower, more fuel-efficient rate, it can get to Buenos Aires and Los Angeles.
