Ah, the lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
Celebrities can have some pretty unique ways of flaunting their wealth, and us “common folk” usually get to witness their lavish spending thanks to the sharing abilities of social media.
We don’t have to be best friends with Kylie Jenner to know about her collection of luxury cars, or rub shoulders with Miley Cyrus to know about her more than $20,000 worth of hair extensions .
It’s easier now than ever before for celebrities to show off their most expensive purchases.
Although sometimes their more outlandish buys make both our wallets and hearts hurt, we’re addicted to watching them spend their millions. It’s almost like we’re living vicariously through them. Almost.
Drake has been no stranger to big purchases himself.
According to Drive Tribe , the Canadian rapper has a garage full of luxury cars, including (but not limited to), a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
Hey, it’s his money. If he wants a dozen expensive cars, it’s his world.
Now Drake might be putting aside those luxury cars for awhile to travel around in his new toy.
Specifically, his very own Boeing 767 cargo plane.
This thing is no joke.
According to People , such an outlandishly huge private jumbo jet typically retails for somewhere in the $185 million zone – and that’s before the personal customizations that Drake had put on its body.
Drake recently posted a video to his Instagram to show his fans his new jet.
The video is just over a minute and a half long and is captioned, “Nothing was the same for real…”
The clip shows the moment his new personalized jet was unveiled to an eagerly awaiting Drake.
As he observes the massive plane in the hangar, he turns to the camera and says, “No rental, no timeshare, no co-owners,” emphasizing that he and he alone has sole ownership of the jet.

The video also goes inside the plane to show fans the interior.
Outfitted with leather sofas, plush chairs, a big screen TV, and a bar, this definitely looks like one luxurious ride in the sky.
The outside of the plane features Drake’s signature OVO owl symbol.
The symbol is also the logo for his company October’s Very Own and his record label OVO.
Check out the full video of the unveiling below.
As he happily takes in the unveiling, Drake makes sure to give credit where credit is due.
He turns and points to Canadian company CargoJet’s President and CEO Ajay Virmani, and says, “That guy made it happen right there, that’s the man.”
Virmani gives a salute to the camera in response.
The video coincides with the recent announcement of Drake becoming an ambassador for CargoJet.
The partnership was recently announced in a news release in which Drake said, “Supporting home grown businesses has always been a top priority of mine, so when an opportunity came up to get involved with a great Canadian company I was honored to do so.”
The video on Instagram currently has over 7.2 million likes.
The general consensus from Drake’s followers is that they’re all massively impressed with his enormous purchase, with the likes of DJ Khaled offering up their congratulations.
Happy flying, Drake!
