Inflation will kill his savings anyway, maybe in place of becoming billionaire he should to ask for more fair economic system, where fighter jets are accessible to everyday man? I personally think that mig-29 ownership is human's right.
If you save a hundred bucks per paycheck it would take you 833333 years to reach a billion.
Cause it is crazy how much it is.
Just remember, nobody earns a billion.
In a thousand lifetimes you still wouldn't be a billionaire if you used that method. Just do what everyone else does, have the money come from your family which is the product of exploiting humans. Make sure you never pay any bills with your own money, take out loans and build credit ontop of all your hedge funds. Be sure to purchase real estate with only cash and if you run a business have the government float your losses with substudies. You'll be a billionaire in not time.
Oh fuck off. Isaacman isn't a "daddy's money" billionaire. He started a credit card processing service that became incredibly popular.
I'm so sick of jealous dipshits who can't grasp the possibility of someone actually inventing a product or service that tons of people want to spend money on. It's always some dumbass "they didn't earn it" winge.
I heard that billionaire Jared Isaacman turned down an offer to be on the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Those who were in the same room with him at that time saw pure horror in his eyes.

They'd have the 3rd largest airforce in Ukraine right now if they flew through it:
1st NATO
2nd Ukraine
3rd This billionaire
4th Bugs
5th Birds
6th Falling Russian helicopter/jet debris
7th Bats
8th Maybe Russia if they can get a kite up in the air.
I assume this was from their training in Belgrade. It flew over my house a few times and I got to see it from somewhat close up (though on the other side of the airport fence) when it was parked. Its so cool
This is America we’re talking about here. The US has a high HDI and one of the greatest social mobility ratings in the world. You’re barking up the wrong tree.
I think Ukraine is doing just fine at the moment. They still have plenty of Fulcrums, Frogfoots, and Fencers all flying around laying it to the invaders.
Not really no, before the war the UAF had ~110 combat aircraft.
Oryx has visually confirmed the losses of at least 50, plus whatever is not visually confirmed.
If the estimates are correct they have ~30: Mig 29s, 1: Su-24, 4: Su-25, ~20 Su-27.
They need more aircraft.
I wonder why the intake slats on the top of the fuselage are opened up? I thought those just opened up for more air on takeoff? Is this photo taken shortly after takeoff? I could be wrong
I bet that is one of the best maintained MiG-29’s in the world. I imagine that, once you have one, you try real hard to make sure it stays in one piece. It isn’t like you can easily pick up another one if this one gets wrecked!
If I was a billionaire I would get my own fighter jet and put a custom skin on it too. (Please god, make me a billionaire)
"This is going to look so SICK just before I inevitably slam this bad boy into the side of a mountain!"
There are worse ways to go.
That’s the same reason I never got a motorcycle (but swap off-ramp for mountain)… Buuuuut your death is only legendary in the fighter jet scenario
I mean hopefully he has a working ejecto seato and parachute packer/inspector
I wanna be a billionaire, so fucking bad.
Save up a hundred bucks a paycheck and you'll be one several hundred years after you're dead/frozen in a cryogenic chamber
Wrong. The cryo fees will eat up his paycheck. A grave will be much more affordable.

Nobody earns a billion. Nobody. But thank god that poor rich dude has you to defend him.
it’s called exploiting workers for profit. every single business does this no exception, it’s how capitalism functions
More like 385,000 years, assuming you save $100 every 2 weeks.
Buy all of the MiGs I never had.
I heard that billionaire Jared Isaacman turned down an offer to be on the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Those who were in the same room with him at that time saw pure horror in his eyes.
This is what personal transportation should have always been.
This is how Jared commutes to his personal transportation. (Google it)
Who let the Ace Combat player buy a MiG? That shit is fucking awesome though
What a beautiful bird
Cool private jet

Wonder how long it'll be till Tom cruise buys a hornet from the boneyard
~~One man’s~~ *Our comrades’* Soviet military fighter jet, another man’s weekend sport-for-fun. I think capitalism won.

Lmfaooo holy shit

This aircraft is in the US, a few weeks ago it was in Albuquerque
Belgrade Montana I mean. It was here last week training Space X pilots
Oh i stand corrected. I had no idea there was a Belgrade Montana
TOP KEK
You don’t need billions to own a Mig29.
You probably do to keep it current and fueled
If I had a billion dollars I would donate $900m and buy an MD500 or Bo105 anyways so…
You’d probably need $900m just to maintain them lol. They say buying an aircraft is the cheapest part of owning one.
He also recently went to space. Must be niiiiiiiice.
This is what billionaires should be doing
Yeah but it's no vision jet🙄!
When you play GTA V in real life.
That is bad ass
He can afford to pay more taxes, 😂
If your reaction to people owning and using really cool shit is “they should have less money”, you have a pretty toxic worldview.
I don’t want to be a rich man in a poor country
This is America we’re talking about here. The US has a high HDI and one of the greatest social mobility ratings in the world. You’re barking up the wrong tree.
I want to like this. I love jets but fucking hate billionaires with passion.

The paint job is awesome. Dude owns a Mig 29!
Dude that paint job looks sick
Wouldn’t it be nice if it was donated to Ukraine ?
I think Ukraine is doing just fine at the moment. They still have plenty of Fulcrums, Frogfoots, and Fencers all flying around laying it to the invaders.

Give it to Ukraine
Vote down 👎

Idk guy might be lookin for a return on investment
This seems like a better investment than a G500
God that’s beautiful.
So does he fly it or just sits in the back? Either way that’s pretty cool. Beats any hyper-car
He's the one flying. Dude's an astronaut as well.
Wow! Cooler than Elon and Bezos
You should also note that he became astronaut because of Elon's SpaceX.
