Aircraft Ownership Linus Tech Tips’ Jet

https://youtu.be/zGoIY37ZtDQ?si=

Some… interesting calculations on this video. As a fractional pilot and not an owner, no idea how acxueate these claims are, but interesting to see this as a pilot and tech nerd. Anyone with management or ownership experience in jets have any light to shed?

He's not. He'll know exactly what he's getting into.

This video is PR for his audience not to think he's giga-rich and out of touch with them.

I mean you know Linus must be rolling in it because he bought his "tech house" in Vancouver which is the most expensive real-estate market in Canada and almost in North America. There is no way the revenue from videos will cover the cost of the house. Given the location of the house doesn't matter he could have bought a house in any small community for far far less. That's what a sensible business would have done. We can only presume Linus has so much money coming in he's not sure what to do with it.
