The video was filmed on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport. While the interior setting of the Michael Jordan owned vehicle is unknown, the G650ER comes with quite some features. It can sit up to 19 passengers, while up to 10 can sleep on board. Additionally, it also has space for its own bedroom.
