While I agree that jet ownership isn't very common, that article is a bit misleading. IE stating that it costs tens of millions to buy a private jet. just checked https://www.avbuyer.com/aircraft/private-jetsThere are plenty of jets avaliable for well below 10,000,000, let alone 10's of millions.
Yeah, most of them cost millions of dollars. The smallest more bare-bones, used jets are 500k. With one being 200k.
In order to fly this, it has to pass inspection. Some of these cheaper ones likely do not pass inspection. You also have to have a pilot. Then there's storage and maintenance costs.
This is why private jet ownership is so low.
