Does Emma Hernan of 'Selling Sunset' really own a private jet?

One of the most talked-about moments on 'Selling Sunset' was when Emma whisked her colleagues off to Cabo San Lucas on a private jet. 

This raised eyebrows and sparked speculation among fans about her true wealth. While Emma hasn't confirmed owning the jet, she does frequently fly privately, possibly because it's the best way to travel with her beloved dog, Benny.

Whether Emma owns a private jet or not, she does possess a limited-edition Faraday Future FF 91 2.0 Futurist Alliance electric hypercar. This makes her one of the very few people in the world to own this impressive $309,000 vehicle.
