Hillary's $10 million jet, 'Life at the Top' By PAUL BEDARD 7/8/15 10:55 AM Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has traded in her "Scooby Doo van" for a $10 million Learjet. A campaign tracker for America Rising, the super PAC that is critical of Clinton, caught her and her entourage hopping on the Learjet 60 after a campaign appearance in Ottumwa, Iowa Tuesday. The camera does not catch her face, only the legs of her blue pantsuit worn during "micro" campaign appearance in a nearby home. Clinton and her team have drawn attention to their campaign lifestyle by suggesting the goal is to go cheap. The jet, however, is a different class of travel altogether. The jet, tail number N719JB, is leased from a New York firm. It has its own Facebook page, that shows the plush leather interior. One glamor photo shows a magazine opened to a page headlined, "Life at the Top."Clinton on her recent book tour said she and former President Bill Clinton left the White House "dead broke." That comment was followed up with a well documented van ride from New York to Iowa to demonstrate her frugalness. A Washington Post story also followed top aide John Podesta traveling by bus between Washington and New York. The headline of that story: "How cheap is Hillary Clinton's campaign? This cheap." In 1997, the jets sold for about $10 million and have increased to over $13 million. Clinton's ride was a 2005 version and costs about $4,000 an hour to operate.
