I worked with one of the cofounders of Intuit. He has what he described as the "Honda Accord" of helicopters. If someone worth many hundreds of millions only has an average helicopter, you probably need many tens of millions for a small helicopter.

I'd say that an R44 is the "Honda Accord" of helicopters, and they're around $500k brand new. With a net worth of hundreds of millions, I'd expect that he went for something safer (with a turbine), like a Bell Jetranger.
