Real Estate
Travolta purchased a 2.35 acre home in Los Angeles in the famed Brentwood neighborhood in 1993 for $3.5 million.
To enumerate, the mansion boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a tennis court, and a significantly large swimming pool.
The property was sold to Scooter Braun for $18 Million in January of 2020.
Surprisingly, John also owns a mansion in the mind-bending 550-acre estate in Florida, dubbed the Jumbolair Airport Estate.
The Jumbolair Airport Estate boasts a 7,550 feet long runway, the longest private runway in America.
The gated community is the perfect place to allow aviation fans easy access to a private airport.
And the mansion with access to the runway is a perfect home for Travolta to satisfy his aviation needs.
Soon after, the couple built an 8,900 square foot mansion on the property and had the taxiway extended right to his front door.
Furthermore, the house was designed to allow views of the parked planes no matter what part of the house they are standing in.
To enumerate, the house has six bedrooms, two kitchens, a pool house, a golf course, and a hangar.
Similarly, Travolta also shared a 50-acre coastal property in Maine with his late wife.
The property has more than 20 bedrooms and over 10,380 square feet of interior space.
The house, built in 1903, boasts the majestic view of Penobscot Bay and the Atlantic Ocean and has direct access to the docks on Sabbathday Harbor.
Planes
Everyone needs a hobby.
And for John Travolta, it’s flying planes. As such, the trained pilot has a large collection of planes.
Good thing that he has an estimated net worth of $250 million to fund this pleasure.
One of his most famous planes is the Boeing 707 138B.
The original 787 models had a cost of $4.3 Million in 1955. Today that’s around $42.2 Million.
Travolta’s plane was previously operated by Qantas Airlines from 1964 and was converted to a passenger plane for private use in 1968.
And by 1998, the plane ended up with Travolta.
After Travolta got his hands on the jet, he changed the interior to make it more luxurious.
As such, the plane can host 25 passengers and includes a master bedroom with an ensuite, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room.
Another plane in Vincent’s hangar is the Bombardier Challenger 601.
It was first announced that he bought this plane in 2011. At the time, this made it his 11th jet.
To emphasize, a Bombardier Challenger 601 can cost up to $21.4 Million, and renting the 601 can cost up to $6,800 per hour.
One of Travolta’s most famous planes was the Gulfstream II.
It is well known due to a near terrible accident almost three decades ago.
In 1992, Travolta was flying the jet at 400 mph from Florida to Maine.
But disaster struck just above Washington skies, 12,000 feet up the Gulfstream suffered an electrical failure.
And with no radio working, the air traffic controller couldn’t speak to Travolta as he fought to control the plane.
Fortunately, Travolta managed to land the plane with no injuries while nearly missing a commercial plane with 182 passengers.
At that time, the Gulfstream II was worth $5 Million.
Cars
Travolta has quite a unique taste when it comes to putting pedals to the medal.
He has tons of classic American, German and British exotics lying pretty in his hangar.
Ford Thunderbird
Travolta has quite a thing for Thunderbird. He has not one, not two, but three T-Birds from 1955, 1956, and 1957 respectively.
But the most iconic one has to be the original T-Bird from the year 1955, as it was designed and manufactured at Ford in direct response to the 1953 Chevy Corvette.
Similarly, in an episode with Jay Leno, he stated that the 55 T-Bird was his favorite as it was the original car he grew up wanting.
1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL
Travolta’s Merc can often be spotted outside his Aviation Estate.
The current market value for this Benz is around $100,000.
Apparently, just one is not good enough. As a result, he ended up buying two of these.
Jaguar XJ6
Before he was flying planes, Travolta was breaking the speed limit with his British-made Jaguar XJ6, which had a top speed of 223 kph.
This particular one that John owns comes equipped with 5.0 liters V12 Supercharged race engine and can do a 0-100 kph in 8.4 seconds.
Rolls Royce Phantom
Likewise, John is also a custodian to a vintage 1960s Rolls Royce Phantom V.
Undoubtedly, this Royce is the pièce de résistance in his car collection as only 516 Phantom V’s were in production from 1959–1967.
This exact model has chauffeured the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and John Lennon.
Watch
Travolta is often seen sporting a Breitling Navigator, a watch well popular among pilots.
Being a veteran pilot that he is, it is only soothing that he wears a watch that compliments his aviation skills.
The price of a Navigator is $6,000 on average.
