Beyonce hires jet worth 18.5 million pounds for world tour

London:`R&B` star Beyonce has reportedly hired Lord Sugar`s private jet worth 18.5 million pounds that the singer will use to fly to her concerts.

The 31-year-old `Destiny`s Child` hitmaker will use the jet to fly to her upcoming concerts in Europe and US on her four-month long `Mrs Carter` tour, reported Sun Online. "As a canny businessman Sir Alan often makes his jet available for corporate hire. He spent a lot on it so it makes perfect sense to make some money back when he can. "The firm he rents the jet through was approached by Beyonce`s people and after a bit of bartering they agreed a price," a source said. Beyonce has also rented a luxury home in Berkshire for her time in the UK. She has been flying in and out of a private terminal at Manchester airport for three shows in the city this week. PTI
