The most expensive private jet ever made is a Boeing 747-8i VIP owned by an anonymous Middle-Eastern businessman who paid around $400 million for it.
As long as there are planes and there are rich people who can afford them, there will be private jets. But there are still multiple levels in the private jet game, with some unbelievably wealthy owners building unrivaled sky luxuries most of us couldn’t even dream of, even on land. However, finding out which one out of all these extravagant planes is the most expensive and who its owner is, isn’t as easy as you might think. One of the most important components for good security is anonymity, and many non-famous wealthy people hold that as a near and dear value. While it’s relatively easy to find out the most expensive celebrity private jets, it’s almost impossible to know who has bought a plane if they don’t wish to be known.
Initial research brought up a contender we had to do away with: a « flying palace » Airbus A380, which got a lot of people talking. It was supposed to have 25 bedrooms, a personal concert room, a hologram-equipped office, a wellness room with floors that show you the ground or clouds underneath the plane, and all sorts of luxuries and amenities.
