Someone is lying about a celebrity's wealth again. They're saying Drake just got a new - "new"- 767 jet. The one in the picture. The one with CARGOJET in 12 foot high letters painted on the side. I wonder why Drake would paint an advertisement for Cargojet on the side of his personal plane. He wouldn't, but it's there because it's not his plane. The president of cargo jet "gave" it to him so he could use it. Drake might be rich but he's not that rich. The sticker price for a Boeing 767 is around $220 million dollars. Drake's personal net worth is reportedly around $180 million dollars.
I know most of you aren't good at math, but just so you know, $220 million is a bigger number than $180 million. The plane is also just under 26 years old, and the evidence of that is right here, and is most likely just about ready to be junked for parts. So while they want you to think Drake walked around a Boeing factory in his WWI Snoopy fighter pilot scarf directing people how to build his brand new plane, that didn't happen. The president of cargo jet let him borrow a plane for free advertising that Drake has to pay at a minimum $12,000 an hour to operate that would otherwise be shipped off to rot in the desert.
So while I'm sure a lot of dimwits that never go anywhere are thrilled for Drake and his plane, the fact is, it's probably just easier to buy a first class ticket on United than it is having to worry about where you're going to park your 767 jumbo jet 365 days a year. But hey, good for him. Maybe next they'll tell us they're putting him behind the controls. And why not? You'll apparently believe anything.
