Ty Warner Private jet tracker

Ty Warner, 82, is the sole owner of Ty Inc. and the creator of Beanie Babies, the understuffed plush toys that became the defining collecting bubble of the 1990s. Before that he was a bellhop, a car valet, a fruit-market vendor and then a salesman of encyclopedias and stuffed animals at Dakin. Ty Inc. still sells Beanie Babies alongside Beanie Boos and Beanie Bellies. Forbes puts him at $8.4B, sourced to plush toys and real estate, and lists his residence as Oak Brook, Illinois.

The toy money bought hotels. He owns the Four Seasons in New York, the Four Seasons Biltmore and San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, and Las Ventanas al Paraíso in Los Cabos, where the Ty Warner Mansion rents for $35,000 a night. He has given $100M in cash and toys to the Children's Hunger Fund since 2005.

In 2013 he was convicted of tax evasion for hiding $106M in Swiss accounts and paid a $53M penalty; prosecutors asked for 46 to 57 months and he served none. The 2023 film The Beanie Bubble dramatised the Ty Inc. story with Zach Galifianakis in the part.

N888TY is a Boeing 737-7AH BBJ, serial 29749, built in 2000, hex AC3D4D. The FAA registers it to TY AIR INC of Wilmington, Delaware — the Delaware address is a registered-agent formality, but the company name and the tail both point one way and no trustee is involved.

DuPage is the inference here: Oak Brook has no runway and DuPage is the nearest field with enough pavement for a 737. The destinations listed are his own properties rather than observed legs.
