HARARE– Sir Wicknell Chivayo has just leveled up in a major way after dropping US$34 million on a Gulfstream G550 private jet, and he’s not keeping quiet about it-no doubt!
The businessman and philanthropist took to social media Friday morning to announce the bird is “ready for collection,” confirming he’s now rubbing shoulders with the world’s ultra-rich in the Gulfstream owners’ club.
This isn’t his first plane, but it’s his biggest flex yet. The G550 puts him in the same airspace as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Michael Jordan which are names that don’t do budget airlines.
New bird in town:Sir Wicknell’s latest ready for collection acquisition worth $34 million giving him recognition in the aviation space for owners of pricey private jets
His game has just gotten tighter ,solid and stable like ZiG currency!
And for good reason. The G550 is a beast, it sits up to 19, flies 12 500km nonstop meaning Harare to London, Paris, Milan or Singapore without touching down for fuel.
Basically, anywhere, anytime.
Chivayo called it another milestone and said he’s “proudly flying the Zimbabwean flag on the global luxury stage.”
The post blew up instantly, with fans flooding his comments over the latest trophy in his growing empire of luxury cars, properties and headline-making giveaways.
For years Sir Wicknell has been Zimbabwe’s most talked-about businessman.
His young brother Joachim popularly known as G6 must be flying high in cloud 9 over the purchase of the G5 bird- what’s in a ‘gee’!
