Drake’s Lavish Arrival in Melbourne: Private Jet, Luxury Suite, and Casino Wins!
Canadian rapper Drake has landed in Melbourne, and he’s making quite the entrance. The “God’s Plan” hitmaker, 38, is set to kick off his highly-anticipated Anita Max Win tour with back-to-back shows at Perth’s RAC Arena starting February 4, followed by four shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena from February 9 to 13.
Drake took to Instagram on Wednesday, sharing a carousel of photos that showcased his luxurious lifestyle on tour. “I reckon we’re home mate,” he captioned the post. The first image features the “One Dance” singer and his entourage dining at Nobu in a mock paparazzi-style shot.
In another clip, Drake is seen bounding down the steps of his private jet, red solo cup in hand. The music star looked relaxed in grey sweatpants, slippers, and a long-sleeve sports jersey as he stepped out of the massive aircraft and into the Australian sunshine.

Drake’s private jet, affectionately named “Air Drake,” is a Boeing 767 valued at US$185 million (AU$297 million), gifted to him by Cargojet in 2019. Despite previous criticism for his short-haul flights, Drake continues to flaunt his extravagant lifestyle.
Currently, Drake is staying at The Crown in Melbourne, specifically in the “Presidential Villa” on the 38th floor of Crown Towers. This palatial suite spans over 1000 square meters and costs a staggering $25,000 per night. The suite includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms off the master bedroom, a private massage room, and a dining room that can host a dozen guests. Drake shared a snap of the grand accommodations, highlighting one of the two lounge rooms with a wall-to-wall television.

In an Instagram Story, he shared a photo of his lap covered in $25,000 casino tokens, totaling $550,000. “Melbourne giving me the welcome back pack,” he wrote, adding, “Finally…a casino showing love in Australia,” with a laugh-cry emoji.
Drake and his entourage have access to their own limo service, a 24/7 on-call service team, a personal gym, and a private butler. “Who do we know in Australia?” Drake captioned a photo of his security guards escorting him to his private elevator.
