NEW DELHI: Argentine football star Lionel Messi has been on a tour of India since December 13. While fans lined up to catch a glimpse of Messi, his private jet with the number 10 has also become the center of attention.

Messi’s luxurious and unique jet is not only one of the most expensive assets in the footballer’s property, but it is also exactly according to his wishes and desires.

According to reports, Lionel Messi bought this Gulfstream V private jet in 2018. Gulfstream V is an upgraded version of the Gulfstream IV, which was launched in 1997.

Messi’s luxurious jet is equipped with 14 comfortable seats, a kitchen, 2 bathrooms and modern amenities, in which 16 passengers can travel together, while the number 10 is written on the back of this plane, which is also the number of his football jersey.

The steps of Lionel Messi’s jet bear the names of his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and his three children Thiago, Mateo and Ciro.

According to the report, Messi bought the private jet in 2018 for $15 million (136 crore Indian rupees). It is said that Messi’s private jet can fly up to a height of 51,000 feet and can travel between New York, Tokyo or London and Singapore without any stopover.
