The wealthy are all about the jet-set life — especially when heading off to their summer vacations.
But just where are they jetting off to this summer?
Business Insider teamed up with XOJET, the leading on-demand private aviation services platform in North America, to find out the top private-jet destinations this summer for the ultra-rich who live in America.
