Russell Wilson loves to live royale, and his extravagant lifestyle symbolizes this notion pretty well. One of the eye-catching assets he owns is the private jet that had a jaw-dropping effect on the entire NFL fraternity. Although having a private jet is not a new thing for pro footballers, his exuberant 2000 Gulfstream G-IV Private Jet happens to be a rare piece. In fact, in order to get Wilson’s Jet, which was once worth a whopping $26 Million, one would have to spend at least $9 Million more than what Tom Brady ended up spending on his Billionaire bunker mansion in Miami.

While GOAT Tom Brady’s net worth stands at a whopping $250 Million, and he has a massive FOX broadcasting deal as well to go with it, Russell Wilson is also not too far behind. The Broncos quarterback boasts a net worth of $165 million. His wealth accumulation soared last season after he got traded to the Broncos country, and signed a multi-year, $245 million deal. This made him one of the highest-paid signal-callers in the league and skyrocketed his brand value in the celebrity world.

The signal-caller showcased his super-rich lifestyle while boarding a plane from Seattle to his new home last year. It was the time when the passer finalized the five-year deal that had a no-trade clause, keeping him intact for a couple of years in Denver. He stood for a classy photograph alongside his longtime agent, Mark Rodgers. Although it was meant to be a goodbye snap for the fans, his followers drooled over the dashing jet in the background.
It looks like Russell Wilson has a 2000 Gulfstream G-IV that was registered by his LLC last year.
Awesome plane — it can probably seat about 15 people and costs around $1M to $2M a year to operate, depending on fuel prices and how much he uses it. https://t.co/n0SUJ9OxRf

According to the NFL analyst, Joe Pompliano, it happens to be a 2000 Gulfstream G-IV that was registered by his LLC last year. It is an awesome limited-edition flying machine owned by a handful of celebrities. Hollywood mogul Tom Cruise is one of them and certainly matches his portfolio, especially because of his inclination towards flying.
For Wilson, it is a matter of prestige to represent his worth in the NFL market. The reports further added that it has the capacity to accommodate 15 passengers and requires around $2 million per year to manage and operate this jet. Regardless, it is just a small chunk of Wilson’s humongous wealth accumulation.
If one compares the ‘flying beast’ at Wilson’s disposal to Tampa Tom’s ultra luxurious Miami mansion which he purchased with his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen a couple of years back, the results are bound to leave you baffled. With 24-hour marine patrol, and every possible facility available at the 1.84 acre property, Tom’s luxurious stay can make anyone jealous. Unless you are Russell Wilson and have a private jet worth millions more than a top-end mansion in the world’s best neighborhood.
How much does Wilson earn off the field?
Just like any other quarterback, the Broncos’ poster boy attracts several companies to sign a partnership deal. It ranges from wellness institutions to IT giants like Microsoft. According to multiple reports, Nike, American Family Insurance, Alaska Airlines, Microsoft, Duracell, Bose, Braun, Aerobie, Boardroom, and Good Man Brand are some of them.
Hence, a major source of income for Wilson comes from his endorsement deals and other campaigns. He earns approximately $14 million per year from such advertisement deals. It is expected to grow in the coming years, as Wilson has already become a big brand in Colorado with his ever-increasing business portfolio.
