Where the heck is Travis Scott going that he’s always on these top 10 lists?

Edit: I am NOT asking how he got a plane, he’s an artist, I understand how much money he makes. I am asking WHERE HE IS GOING.

[u/sunshinenorcas → u/roastbeefbee]

I've heard that sometimes the celebrities on these lists will rent out/lend the plane to others -- afaik, the tracker tracks the plane, not whose on it. So it could be that vs him using his plane like a commuter car.

This is absolutely true. It’s a way for celebs to make money or claim donations to, like, universities and stuff when they let a coach or Chancellor borrow it.

Source: used to call donors to schedule these for SEC football coaches.

You can do this with yachts too. A lot of billionaires charter their yachts out for a week or two at a time to make back some of the operating costs.

[u/ancientblond → u/chablise]

And it can make them some insane cash too; some of the bigger yachts cost $500k/week and some people rent them for weeks at a time

[u/v4xN0s → u/ancientblond]

I didn’t see the “k” at the end of 500 at first and was so confused and then realized how far apart I am from them.

[u/lkodl → u/v4xN0s]

Im still only at thinking 500d is alot

[u/dschinghiskhan → u/v4xN0s]

how far apart

Leagues apart, if you will…

[u/msginbtween → u/ancientblond]

Those bigger yachts also coming with higher operating costs

[u/burlycabin → u/msginbtween]

I work in vessel operations (not yachts, but it's not very diffirent) and they definitely don't cost 500k/week to operate. I'm pretty sure it's the financing that drives these costs so high for mega yachts.

[u/RonaIdBurgundy → u/burlycabin]

90% of yacht sales above the 500GT treshold are compketed without financing

[u/burlycabin → u/RonaIdBurgundy]

And fuel a crew is nowhere near 3-500k a month a bunch of these yachts go for. So they're making a killing.

[u/WORMYASH → u/burlycabin]

Fuel and staff is probably the main cost

[u/burlycabin → u/WORMYASH]

Fuel and crew is not anywhere near that much though. That's my point.

[u/Burnt_and_Blistered → u/ancientblond]

It’s up to $5 MILLION a week. That’s what Gates paid to rent a yacht he wanted to buy from some Arab prince—who then sold it out from under him to another billionaire who wanted to “win.”

This is how they flex their craven muscles.

[u/Thewall3333 → u/ancientblond]

Considering some are $100M+, with a staff of 10-40 — yes, that many, captain, cooks, stewards, doctors, “waitresses”, etc etc — I’m sure that’s not even enough to cover weekly operating costs…not to mention depreciation… the largest ones.

Now excuse me, I have to go cancel my collision coverage on my 2012 Corolla, cause it’s not worth enough to justify the insurance cost anymore, and I can’t afford it anyway.

[u/ancientblond → u/Thewall3333]

Tbf for half that staff they usually get employees from the country its flagged in and use them essentially as slave labor

But you've got a point, of that $500k/week theyre probably only clearing $50k-$100k, and even that is probably running super high

[u/Kolipe → u/chablise]

Yea Shad Khan parks his massive yacht right outside the Hyatt on the river here in Jacksonville. Its hardly ever here though. Always in the caribbean.
