Approaching ramp at FBO. Ramp was very congested; we stopped short of the ramp to await for a marshal. When marshal's gave signal to move forward we followed their signals; we were on the centerline of the taxi way. On entering the ramp our left wingtip contacted the right winglet of a parked [aircraft]. We were totally un-aware that contact had been made until informed after parking. We followed the marshalers directions (there were four) from ramp entry to the parking spot. The wing tip of the Gulfstream is difficult to see from the pilot seat.Damage to our aircraft was basically a paint scrape; it was written up and inspected by our maintenance personnel who found no damage and referred to it as a paint transfer.The fiberglass winglet of the [other aircraft] was damaged and will have to be replaced.
The pilot of a corporate jet reported making contact with the winglet of a parked aircraft while being marshaled on a congested ramp.
