Justin Bieber is one of the most successful pop and R&B music artists there is today, with a career that is almost as old as he is. What has Bieber spent his money on, and does he own a private jet?
It is unclear whether or not Justin Bieber owns a private jet, or if he charters them. He often takes private jets, and as pictures taken on the jets do not consistently have the same seating or interiors, Bieber likely charters private jets while traveling instead of owning one.

Owning vs. Chartering
Bieber flies on private jets all the time, as Twitter news is full of reported sightings of Justin and Hailey Bieber getting on and off private jets in many different locations. The Biebers
spend a lot of time on private planes, but does Justin Bieber own one?
The confusion about whether Bieber owns a private jet or not began back in 2014 when he was 20. Bieber posted this picture on Instagram on Christmas Day, and captioned the picture, “Merry Christmas, she’s a beauty.”
The picture, featuring the interior of a private jet, led many fans to believe that he’d gotten the jet for Christmas. A few days later, TMZ reported that he did not own the jet, but had chartered it for a holiday trip from Toronto to New York City.
So while Bieber did ride on the G4 jet, and it was for sale, he did not buy it. In subsequent pictures of Bieber flying on jets, like this one or this one, the interiors of the planes are very different from the pictures he took on the jet in 2014.
More recently, he posted this picture on Instagram of him playing a type of air hockey in the aisle while Hailey Beiber relaxed on one of the plane’s beds with a fuzzy blanket. The interior of this jet is again different from others he’s ridden in over the years, but it’s unclear whether he also chartered this one or if the jet belongs to the couple.
Who are some celebrities who have their own private jets?

While there are plenty of upsides to becoming world-famous, there are also some downsides, one of them being that ‘normal travel’ becomes nearly impossible.
