The Hot New Commute for Miami Billionaires Costs $1,000 a Minute
ILandMiami provides floating helipads that let Miami’s billionaire residents land helicopters directly on the water near their homes, charging roughly $1,000 per minute of use. The service, launched in early 2023 after years of development, now handles about 20 flights a month, primarily for ultra‑wealthy individuals seeking to bypass the city’s chronic traffic, which averages 93 hours per commuter annually. High‑profile owners such as Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin have been spotted using the pads, which cost $4,000‑$4,500 per landing. The business is referral‑driven and eyes expansion as Miami prepares for eVTOL testing and growing air traffic.
