These are the 5 fastest private jets you can own

3. Bombardier Global 6000

Global 6000 — as in 6,000 nautical miles of range.

Los Angeles to Moscow, if you please.

At the fastest cruise setting, the "Global Express" will do mach .89, or 683 mph.

It also boasts an exceptionally long cabin, a "superior stateroom experience" according to the manufacturer, and the option of a full bathroom, including a stand-up shower.

An industry standard, the Global 6000 goes for $45 million.

3. Dassault Falcon 7X

One of only two "trijets" currently in production, the $52.5-million Falcon 7X was, when launched in 2005, the first ever fully fly-by-wire business jet.

In 2014, a 7X made a record trip from New York to London in under 6 hours, an entire hour faster than the average commercial flight.

Top speed: mach .90, or 690 mph.

2. Gulfstream G650/G500

Customers willing to shell out $65 million and stand the three year waiting list can have the speedy, luxurious, and long-legged Gulfstream G650.

In long range cruise mode, it can cover 7,000 nautical miles. At full tilt, it will cruise at mach .925, or 709 mph.

The aircraft first flew in 2009, and it is Gulfstream's largest and fastest jet to date.

The slightly-smaller G550 will also do mach .925, and has a range of 5,000 nautical miles.

1. Cessna Citation X+

Desperate to shake off a reputation for a lack of speed relative to the rest of the private jet market, Cessna decided to swing for the fences, and in 1996 introduced the very fast Citation X.

The latest member of the family, the 2010-launched Citation X+, is the undisputed king of speed, and can sprint at mach .935, or 717 mph, making the trip from Los Angeles to New York in under four hours.

Sticker price: about $22 million.
