Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s £20m Gulfstream G200 jet which flies at 560mph and transports girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez
CRISTIANO RONALDO lives a jet-set lifestyle, regularly travelling to and from his homeland, Portugal.
So it makes sense the wantaway Manchester United ace, 37, bought a Gulfstream G200 twin-engine jet in 2015 for £20million.
He and partner Georgina Rodriguez have been seen making the most of the luxury transport.
And it’s worth every penny.
But it has become too small for Ronaldo and his family, with the Euro 2016 winner recently putting his jet up for sale.
There could be a number of willing buyers too, with Ronaldo often renting out the jet for a rate ranging from £5,000-£8,500 an hour.

IT’S FAST!
Originally named the ‘Astra Galaxy’, the G200 is capable of reaching a top speed of 560mph.
Its range is up to 3,910 miles with four passengers in tow, so it’s ideal for quick flights from his new base in England to hubs around Europe.
But the G200 offers a generous seating configuration, and can fit as many as eight to 10 passengers for one flight.
IT’S A RARITY
After its first flight in 1997 was followed by certification from the US and Israeli aviation agencies in 1998, the G200 was made available in 1999.
It was something of a rarity though, with only 250 ever made – making Ronaldo’s purchase even more exclusive.
The final production G200 rolled off the production line in 2011, when the G250 started to gain popularity. So, it’s vintage!
WHAT’S IT GOT?
As you can imagine, and what £20m buys you, the G200 is filled with features that’ll make flying in it a luxury.
As well as being roomy, Ronaldo, who is seeking an exit away from Old Trafford this summer, has a wardrobe where he can store his designer clothes.
There’s Wi-Fi, a telephone, fax machine, electric oven, microwave, refrigerator, and an entertainment system.
Perhaps those who fly with CR7 are treated with an elaborate in-flight movie of his greatest goals collection.
