Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, receives frequent criticism that his series is solely for college kids who smoke marijuana. However, nobody can argue with the show’s success.
His show has seen success since its very beginning in 1999 and we can’t imagine that he’ll go bankrupt anytime soon. We imagine that he has a lot of places to be, so he purchased a Gulfstream private jet to get there on time and like a star.
Phil Mickelson – Gulfstream V, Estimated $60 Million
Like many other golfers of his stature, Phil Mickelson leads a busy life; a life which brings him to compete in tournaments all over the world.

Mark Cuban – Gulfstream V, Estimated $40 Million
When you’re a high-class businessman like Mark Cuban, time is of the utmost importance. With the immediate stock trading, and all the Dallas Mavericks games he must attend, Mark prioritizes convenient travel.
The $40 million Gulfstream he purchased was a great investment. He has created an impressive business empire through clever deals while never failing to give to charity or help start businesses along the way.
THE EDGE – The Cyan, Estimated $12 Million
This U2 member used the money made by the band’s music to purchase a yacht. Technically speaking, he purchased a superyacht. Better known as The Edge, he bought “The Cyan,” and can sail around with up to 12 guests.
The yacht is equipped with 6 cabins, a gym, a media center, a jacuzzi, and anything else that you would expect to find in the most luxurious of yachts. David Evans not only enjoys the yacht himself but also rents it out to charter trips for only $192,000. So, if you’re looking for a nice getaway, you should call him.
Magic Johnson – Gulfstream G-III, Estimated $40 Million
One of the biggest NBA athletes of all times, Magic Johnson retired from the Lakers in 1992 and later moved on to exercise his business side. He purchased this private jet to allow him to travel in comfort and opulence.
While he had to shell out $40 million for it, with his party days in the past, Johnson uses the plane more like a traveling office than anything else.
