Private jets aren’t just for billionaires—they’re for anyone who knows how to play the game.

In this episode, Rich sits down with private jet captain and aviation broker Captain Curt Marker to unpack what it really costs to own, charter, and operate a private jet. From $3M pre-owned Gulfstreams to $100M G700s, fuel costs, maintenance nightmares, and the wild tax benefits that come with bonus depreciation—this episode takes you inside the cockpit of the aviation business.

They cover:

How 100% bonus depreciation is making jet ownership explode again
The real costs of fuel, maintenance, and hangar fees (and what to budget for)
Why Q4 is the best time to buy a jet for tax write-offs
How to fly private for up to 80% off using “empty legs”
The best aircrafts that hold their value—and which ones to avoid
