Michael Dell flies from a Florida seaplane base to Savannah as his AI-fueled wealth surges

Michael Dell flew from Melrose Landing Seaplane Base in Florida to Savannah/Hilton Head International on June 11, a 4-hour-36-minute hop in his Gulfstream G650ER (N228ZD). The departure from a seaplane base and the destination—a gateway to the Georgia coast and Sea Islands—suggest a personal trip rather than a board meeting.

The same week, Dell Technologies reported that its AI server revenue had exploded 757% year-over-year to $16.1 billion, pushing quarterly revenue to a record $43.8 billion, per an Investopedia report. Michael Dell’s net worth has climbed to $143 billion, making him the world’s sixth-richest person, according to Bloomberg. The trip to Savannah comes just days after his Gulfstream G700 shuttled between Dallas Love and Austin—a pattern of short hops that hints at a busy executive stealing a moment of downtime.

Dell maintains a famously low public profile around his travel, and this flight fits that mold: no conference or public appearance in Savannah, just a quiet arrival at a coastal airport. The seaplane origin adds a touch of leisure to the itinerary, a rare pause for a CEO whose company is riding the AI infrastructure wave harder than almost any other.
