> Unlike similar American jets, you can find Mig-25's in private hands today being maintained and flying.

The B-52 is fifteen years older than the MiG-25 and is not only still flying, but carrying out combat missions to this day.

To be fair the B-52's that fly combat missions today are nowhere near the same as what was flying 25 years ago.

I suspect MIG-25's in private hands have been maintained at a flight ready level, but not significantly upgraded in the way the active B-52 has been.
