The story
The Gulfstream V took the GIV's formula and added intercontinental range. It can fly from New York to Tokyo non-stop. When executives say 'we'll take the jet,' this is usually what they mean.
Mark Cuban paid $40 million for a Gulfstream V online in 1999, which earned a Guinness record for the largest single e-commerce transaction.
