DJ Khaled, a Palestinian-American musician, has transcended his status as a 40-something hip-hop celebrity to become a social media phenomenon, often surpassing the online presence of major global businesses. Several years ago, the senior vice president of content at Coca-Cola bestowed upon him the title of “The King of Snapchat” in recognition of his impeccable influence on social media platforms. Khaled Mohammed Khaled, widely known as DJ Khaled, attributes his success to a simple yet powerful trade secret: authenticity. According to him, the key to connecting with followers is to be genuine.
The hype man, unapologetically, showcases the immense wealth he has amassed throughout his career, a display that resonates well with his social media followers. In a recent series of Instagram photos, the American DJ proudly exhibits his Maybach 62 Landaulet as he prepares to board his private aircraft for a performance at the recently concluded NBA All-Star Game.
Captured in the posts, DJ Khaled warmly greets the crew and effortlessly maneuvers alongside his jet in the pearl-white Maybach. Notably, the recognizable blue foot mat, bearing his mantra “We The Best,” a frequent feature in his social media content, is strategically placed just before the staircase leading to his private plane.
The celebrity musician’s chosen mode of air travel is the Gulfstream G650, as revealed by Khaled in the caption accompanying the photos. Notably, this is the same type of jet that has been prominently featured in recent headlines as the preferred model of Elon Musk.
The Gulfstream G650 boasts an impressive maximum speed of Mach 0.925 (710 mph), achieved through its two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines. The interior of this opulent private jet offers a glimpse of luxury, featuring lavish materials such as leather, wood, and other high-end finishes.
While DJ Khaled’s Gulfstream G650 is undoubtedly a symbol of sophistication, it’s his Maybach 62 Landaulet that steals the spotlight with its sleek design. Notably, this vehicle remains true to its original form, standing out in an era where the celebrity community has taken a liking to the Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV and the S-Class-based Maybach sedan. DJ Khaled’s Maybach 62 Landaulet harks back to a time when Maybach was a standalone brand under DaimlerChrysler AG, and the sedan itself is a rare gem, with just slightly over 3000 units produced between 2000 and 2012.
