Flying commercial isn’t always the best option for Davos attendees, and many are arriving by private jet.
Marc Benioff’s Gulfstream G700 is one of the latest jets to touch down near the alpine resort.
The Salesforce CEO’s plane flew over 14 hours from Hawaii to Friedrichshafen, Germany, according to data from JetSpy. It touched down shortly after 11 a.m. local time on Monday
It’s perhaps the swankiest jet to arrive so far. The price tag for a G700 starts at $78 million.
Benioff is scheduled to speak tomorrow.
Two BlackRock-owned Gulfstream G650 jets have landed in Zurich, too, per JetSpy’s tracking data.
One of them arrived on Sunday morning, followed by the other about 25 hours later. They both came from New York’s Westchester County Airport.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink is also the interim co-chair of the WEF. He’s due to speak tomorrow morning.
Corporate jets owned by Google, IBM, The Carlyle Group, and Eli Lilly have also landed in the region since Saturday, per JetSpy.
