In this YouTube commentary, Steve Varsano critiques a viral claim that Cristiano Ronaldo purchased a $73 million private jet. He explains that the reported figure is inaccurate: the jet in question is not a Gulfstream G650 (which costs less than $73 M) but a 15‑year‑old Bombardier Global XRS, whose purchase price is a small fraction of the alleged amount. Varsano also points out that the cited $73 M figure actually refers to an annual operating budget, not a maintenance bill, and that the headline was crafted for click‑bait rather than factual accuracy. He invites viewers to follow him for more clarifications.

Talking about Cristiano Ronaldo's customized private jet worth $73 million. I wouldn't pray to this sport Bible because the information is just so incorrect. First of all, G650 does not cost $73 million, less than that. Second of all, he didn't buy a G650, he bought a Global XRS. And that airplane happens to be about 15 years old, and it is for a fraction of the price they're talking about. I don't want to say how much he paid, but it is really a small fraction of this number. And they're talking about a maintenance bill is mind-blowing, but it doesn't talk about the maintenance bill in the body of the document. It just talks about the annual operating budget, which is not the maintenance bill. So, unfortunately, it's just not information that you want to rely on, and it's incorrect. The headline is something there to grab your attention, like most headlines are, but really, when you read the body of the information, it's the wrong airplane, not talking about the maintenance. I'd like to just set it straight. If you have any more questions about any of this information, please hit "Follow for More."
