A few of the goods available for purchase have led fans into a frenzy questioning
Drake’s motives behind the price tag of these items. A hooded Air Drake robe costs $3,515, Air Drake Patch socks are going for $415, a blanket costs $4,100, and an eye mask sells for $995. But, the sweatpants seem reasonable in comparison with the cost being “only” $100.In 2019, Insider reported that the private jet, a converted Boeing 767, seats 30 passengers and costs
$185 million. Drake purchased the plane from a Canadian company and declared hometown pride as the reason for the purchase.“Supporting homegrown businesses has always been a top priority of mine, so when an opportunity came up to get involved with a great Canadian company I was honored to do so,” Drizzy said in a statement at the time.
Air Drake was conceived by a company based in Canada, CargoJets, and it reportedly has a theater/entertainment room, three fully enclosed master bedrooms, and fully carpeted flooring. It allegedly can fit up to 45 people comfortably.
