Rory McIlroy is one of the top names in the golf circuit currently. He has won almost every title in the world, with his achievements including 41 professional titles and four major championships.

Over the years, McIlroy has emerged as the face of golf, especially after Tiger Woods became less active on the PGA Tour. So far, he has earned $90,989,348 on the Tour, which is second only to Woods.

With such earnings, it’s no surprise to see the 34-year-old Northern Irishman owning some luxuries. In his latest addition to these luxuries, he has purchased a new luxury private jet.

According to reports, McIlroy recently bought a 2022 Gulfstream G650ER. RadarAtlas2, a popular flight-tracking account on X, confirmed the golfer’s new jet purchase in October.

“Rory McIlroy’s new airplane #N650MN is air𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧e,” radaratlas2 wrote. “This is a 2022 Gulfstream G650ER. Today is the first time it has flown in over a month.

As per the manufacturer’s website, the 2022 Gulfstream G650ER is among the most reliable jets in the world. There are more than 500 units currently in service, with each worth $38.5 million pre-owned.

Previously, the $170 million star owned a Bombardier Challenger 605, which cost more than $30 million. This jet could reach a maximum speed of Mach 0.885 and had a maximum range of 3,910 miles.

“I just got this massive sense of guilt come over me” – When Rory McIlroy spoke about guilt on his increasing carbon footprint

In 2021, Rory McIlroy opened up about the sense of guilt he felt for his increasing carbon footprint.

“Two years ago, after I won in China, I flew back home privately and it was just me on the plane,” McIlroy said as per Sky Sports. “I just got this massive sense of guilt come over me, just because this can’t be good and all that sort of stuff.”

Upon realization, the four-time major champion reached out to the GEO Foundation, who work towards sustainability.

“I wouldn’t self-profess to be an eco warrior,” he added. “But I’m someone that doesn’t want to damage the environment in any way, so how can I make my travel around the world neutral, how can I neutralise what I do?”

After the GEO Foundation’s recommendation, the ace golfer decided to pay roughly $150,000 per year to offset his carbon footprint and remain carbon-neutral by the end of the year.
