Larry Ellison's Gulfstream G650 lands at Palm Beach, 6 nm from where his yacht Musashi is anchored

A Gulfstream G650 registered N817GS was tracked from Orlando International Airport to Palm Beach International Airport on September 23, 2026, completing a 32-minute hop at 22:45 UTC. The aircraft, owned through Larry Ellison's shell company Wing and a Prayer Inc., touched down on a runway just six nautical miles from where an AIS fix logged nine hours earlier placed the 88-meter Feadship motor yacht Musashi, which Ellison has owned since 2011 — a convergence of private jet and private vessel that, should Ellison have been aboard the flight, would make for a particularly efficient evening.

If aboard, Larry Ellison would arrive in South Florida at a critical moment in the takeover battle for Warner Bros. Discovery. Per a Forbes report cited by The Daily Beast on September 23, his son David Ellison, CEO of Paramount, is preparing a final pitch to WBD shareholders to beat out Netflix, with a Monday deadline looming for a proposal. The younger Ellison's earlier $108 billion offer was rejected last year, and Paramount has now countered at $31 per share, per The New York Times. The elder Ellison, as Paramount's primary shareholder, has been deep in the deal since at least January, when he appeared alongside President Trump at a White House news conference. The short Florida flight — and the nearby yacht — suggest a man keeping his options open between boardroom pressure and the comforts of the water.
