Drake’s private jet is not just expensive… It has one of the wildest backstories of any celebrity aircraft.
Air Drake is a Boeing 767-200ER built in 1996 and later transformed into a fully customized private jet through a partnership with Canadian airline Cargojet.
The exterior was redesigned by Virgil Abloh with blue skies, clouds, Drake’s OVO owl on the tail, and the message “If you’re reading this, we left” hidden underneath.
Inside, the jet has gone through multiple major renovations, with bedrooms, lounges, entertainment spaces, a movie room, and even a poker table.
But the craziest part is what this plane was before Drake ever touched it.
Aviation records have tied the aircraft to VIP use in Saudi Arabia before it became Air Drake.
So this nearly 30-year-old jet didn’t simply go from commercial aircraft to celebrity status.
It went from royal-level aviation… to one of the most recognizable private jets in the world.

Drake's private jet is so expensive, almost no other celebrity owns anything close to it. And the story behind how he got it is almost as impressive as the cost. This is Air Drake. And in 2019, Canadian company CargoJet made Drake a ridiculous promise. They worse going to get him one of the biggest celebrity jets in the worse. But instead of buying him something brand new, they found this, a wide bad Boeing seven sixty seven two hundred ER best back in 1996. And that's when this transformation begins. The outside was eventually redesigned by Virgil Abloh, covered in blue skies and clouds, featuring Drake's OVO owl on the tail, and underneath the plane, a hidden message saying, If you're reading this, we left. Then they completely reworked the interior. But apparently, that still wasn't enough for Drake. Recently, he tore into it again and rebuilt the inside a second tier, this time with a massive bedroom, guest rooms, lounges, a movie room, and even a poker table, which totally checks out, turning a nearly 30 year old airplane into a jet almost no celebrity can match. But remember, this plane had already lived an entire life before Drake, because when it left Boeing in 1996, it it wasn't headed to an airline. It was delivered as a VIP jet to Saudi Arabia, and aviation records later tied it back to a Saudi prince. So Drake's absurd $185,000,000 sky mansion didn't go from an old passenger plane to a celebrity jet. It went from Saudi royalty tier the Good himself.
