Michael Dell Private jet tracker

Follow…

Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Dell Technologies. Net worth ~$144.5–177.7B; controls roughly 40% of Dell's voting power. The 'Castle' in West Lake Hills, Austin (~33,000 sq ft, ~119 contiguous acres expanded via conservation easements). 'Raptor Residence' Kukio Hawaii (~18,500 sq ft, $64M+); MSD Hospitality owns the 865-acre Hualalai Resort. Reported $100M One57 NYC penthouse.

Fleet of two: N228ZD (2015 G650ER, S/N 6126, hex A200FC, Wilmington Trust Co) and N6D (2024 G700, S/N 87051, hex A7C2D8, Jet Aviation Flight Services).

No publicly logged flight histories were located for either tail — likely operational privacy or limited ADS-B coverage. Expected: frequent travel to Hawaii (Kukio/Hualalai) and New York. Dell maintains a low public profile around personal travel.

Note · We track Michael Dell's planes, not Michael Dell in person. Flight data shows when and where each plane flew. It does not show who was on board.
