After reading two more pages of this thread it's clear that most people who posted have no clue about two things.
Surgeons DO NOT make "THAT MUCH" money. Yes, several hundred thousand dollars a year is good money, especially to someone who makes 100K or less a year. For a surgeon, consider a few things: medical school loans, office lease, office overhead including staff salaries, supplies, etc., fees for memberships to associations, *massive* malpractice insurance premiums, hospital OR fees, and insurance billing. Just because insurance was billed 100K does not mean the surgeon pocketed all that. Just like when 0bama said the doctor charges 40K to take our your kid's tonsils, implying the doctor was being greedy pocketing all that, it simply IS NOT the case. This is why I said a cosmetic plastic surgeon in places like LA, NY, Miami who bills cash and does injections and such during clinic/office days CAN make a lot of money after being in practice for a while and be able to own a jet.
Owning a jet is FUCKING EXPENSIVE. The purchase is the easy part. OWNING it isn't. Fuel costs, pilot costs (you'll need three, two to fly, one on standby all the time), hanger costs, airport fees, maintenance, insurance, inspections required by the FAA. Seriously, do you guys think owning a fucking jet is like owning a Corvette? If you actually fly one a lot the costs are astronomical. This is why most people who own a jet charter it out when they aren't using it. Same with a yacht.
I can go an buy a Ferrari tomorrow (entry level model), but I couldn't afford to own it. This is why idiots who win the lottery go broke within a few years. They buy huge houses, luxury cars, jets, whatever and can't afford to pay for the overhead of owning them. To own a jet and fly it with any degree of regularity, you need to be making MANY millions a year, not two million a year or 700K.
