Ronald Perelman flew from Garfield County Regional Airport in Rifle, Colorado, to San Antonio International Airport on May 11, 2026, aboard his Gulfstream G650, tail number N838MF. The 1-hour-44-minute journey peaked at 41,025 feet and 546 knots, cutting a swift path across the Rockies for the finance titan whose East Hampton estate serves as home base.

Perelman touches down in San Antonio the same week the 2026 MFM and FEI Financial Leaders Forum unfolds from May 17 to 19 at the Marriott Rivercenter, according to the Media Financial Management Association's event page. This gathering draws financial executives from media giants and beyond for strategy sessions and networking—fertile ground for a dealmaker like Perelman, whose MacAndrews & Forbes empire spans cosmetics to diversified investments.

The trip fits Perelman's pattern of crisscrossing the U.S. for business amid leisure: mere days before, on May 8, he jetted from near Orlando, Florida, to Colorado's high country, echoing his recurring sojourns to Aspen. From Sunshine State boardrooms to Rocky Mountain retreats, such flights reveal the quiet rhythm of a life balancing Revlon stakes, art collections, and political giving with the occasional wry pivot to Texas negotiations.
