WeWork's $60 million private jet is now on the market - see inside the ultra-luxurious Gulfstream G650ER

The G650ER is one of Gulfstream's flagship aircraft thanks to its size, speed, and range.

With seating for up to 19 passengers and customization of up to four living areas, the G650ER is a veritable apartment in the sky with capabilities matched by very few aircraft.

Neumann's G650ER sat 16 passengers with multiple compartments divided by bulkheads with electric doors.

The plane was purchased new, which goes for around $60 million, in 2018. While the jet's price is not advertised, the cheapest used G650ER on AvBuyer's site is currently listed at just under $50 million.

The G650ER has a range of 7,500 nautical miles and is able to connect city pairs including New York and Beijing without stopping. It broke the record for the longest business jet flight when it flew from Singapore to Tucson nonstop, flying over 8,000 nautical miles.

The range of the aircraft is so extensive that a separate compartment is built-in so an additional crew member can be flying onboard or the crew can rest on long-haul flights. WeWork's aircraft didn't have this feature, however.

The G650ER featured a conference table with two-seats on each side, ideal for the business meetings that Neumann was holding on the plane.

The plane also features multiple in-flight entertainment screens, which WeWork employees told Business Insider were customized with Apple TV and stocked with kid-friendly movies for Adam Neumann's family. The aircraft featured one 32-inch monitor, two 26-inch monitors, 12-inch monitors at most of the seats, XM satellite radio, and Ka-Band satellite WiFi.

Additional screens line the forward and rear cabin dividers, where movies can be played. The feed for one of the three exterior cameras that the jet features can also be accessed.

Neumann put over 400 hours on the plane with 131 landings, with the aircraft being photographed in such locations as Miami, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada.

WeWork employees also reported that Neumann had two bedrooms installed on the aircraft, with the aircraft listing mentioning the aircraft features two divans and a rear stateroom.

The cockpit of the G650ER, exterior cameras and sensors allow for pilots to see through the clouds with synthetic vision and a heads-up display similar to that found in military aircraft, making it one of the most technologically advanced private jets in the sky.
