The latest news from sources close to the Hollywood entertainment industry has sent the internet into a frenzy: Selena Gomez and her newlywed husband have officially purchased a private jet worth up to 25 million USD. But what shocked the public the most was not just this huge figure, but the real reason behind this lavish purchase — a reason that even Selena’s most loyal fans could not have expected.

According to People, the plane is said to be a Gulfstream G550, one of the most luxurious and expensive private jets in the world. Inside the cabin is a high-class leather interior, private lounge, bar, work area and a state-of-the-art entertainment system that only top billionaires can dream of. However, what has the media talking non-stop is why Selena decided to “spend money” just a few weeks after the wedding.
A close source revealed:

“Selena didn’t just buy the plane for fun. She said it was part of the couple’s long-term plan – they wanted freedom of movement, away from the media and paparazzi. Selena has said many times that she wants to live peacefully, away from the noise of Hollywood.”
That sounds reasonable, but netizens don’t think so. Many people suspect that the singer is preparing to leave the US, especially after a series of rumors that she is feeling “suffocated” by the current showbiz environment. Some people also think that this is the first step in a plan to shift her career internationally, possibly settling permanently in Europe, where she has expressed a special love for French and Italian culture.

On social network X (formerly Twitter), the phrase “Selena Private Jet” quickly entered the top global trends. Fans are clearly divided into two camps: one side supports her, saying she completely deserves what she has achieved after many years of hard work, the other side criticizes her, saying that spending $25 million at the present time is “blatantly showing off” and “out of touch with reality”.
A prominent comment reads:
“While many artists are talking about protecting the environment and reducing carbon emissions, Selena buys a private plane. It is true that Hollywood is never without contradictions.”
However, there are also opinions defending the singer:
“She has been working non-stop for nearly 20 years, since she was a child. If anyone deserves to enjoy it, it is Selena Gomez.”

It is worth mentioning that in a recent short interview, when asked about the plane, Selena did not deny it but only smiled mysteriously and said:
“Sometimes, you have to fly far away to find the peace you have lost.”
That statement made fans even more curious. Was Selena hinting that she wanted to gradually withdraw from the spotlight to focus on her personal happiness? Or was she preparing for some global project that required freedom of movement?
Either way, this “$25 million plane” deal will certainly be a hot topic for many weeks to come. With Selena Gomez, it seems that every step she takes – whether it’s love, career or personal decisions – makes the whole world stop and watch.
One thing is for sure: Selena is no longer the Disney girl she used to be. She is a symbol of power, freedom and mystery that people can’t take their eyes off.
