So, you think you are super cool, since you ordered a gulfstream private jet?
Well, unfortunately there are still a couple of people that 1-up you. By a long shot.
Boeing builts 747s since the late sixties. What meant to be used for cargo, since all long passenger flight would go super sonic soon anyway, became the largest passenger plane. Until recently: Airbus finally trumped those huge 747 jumbos with their dead ugly A380 a few years ago.
One of those 43 sold A380s will actually be converted into a flying palace.
Boeing revealed their new 747-8i yesterday:
Turns out that 7 out of the 28 ordered 787-8i will be sold to “VIP clients” as well. The super rich certainly got allot richer in the last years.
Usually that kind of wealth can afford to remain invisible. Having the worlds largest passenger jet converted to your liking gives a glimpse how a billionaire rolls in 2011.
