Taylor Swift recently unloaded one of her private jets — and at least one of the new owners is linked to a well-known company … specializing in cars.
Here’s the deal … FAA records show that Taylor sold a Dassault Falcon 900 jet that’s been in her possession for years — since 2009, in fact — and the transaction was completed at the end of last month … with a new owner listed as some mysterious, soulless LLC.
As it turns out, however, this LLC that now owns Taylor’s jet isn’t so random after all … it appears to be linked to CarShield — specifically, a bigwig of the auto protection company.
The LLC in question is called Triangle Real Estate, and it’s incorporated in Missouri — dating back to 2006 — with a man named Nicholas Hamilton named as a former officer of the company.
On its own, that info might not reveal too much about the new owner — however, the FAA has the new owner’s address listed as a CarShield call center out in St. Peters, MO.
And, as it turns out … Nick Hamilton is the CEO of CarShield.
So, just to recap … the new listed owner of Taylor’s jet is an LLC linked to CarShield’s CEO — and the new listed address of the current jet owner goes right to a CarShield office. Coincidence??? Something tells us it ain’t. One thing, though, Nick has a partner in the LLC … so, she’ll likely be enjoying some PJ flights, too.
The actual sale price isn’t disclosed publicly, but a new one of these jets goes for around $40 million on the open market.
