For most people, private jets such as the $65 million Gulfstream G650 or the Bombardier Global Series are the epitome of luxury air travel, but there are a select few who can afford more than that. They’re converting airliners into private flying palaces. Airbus and Boeing have begun selling “VIP” versions of their airliners under the Airbus Corporate Jet and Boeing Business Jet brands to meet this demand. While most of these planes are based on smaller Airbus A320 series or Boeing 737 models, one recent VIP conversion took luxury to a new level.
One fortunate, wealthy, confidential client delivered a personalized Boeing 747-8, completed by Greenpoint Technologies of Kirkland, Washington. Its incredible 4,786 sq. ft. of space features a stateroom, lounges, an office, and a massive dining room.
The Boeing 747-8 VIP is the longest and second-largest airliner ever built. Powered by a team of four General Electric GEnx engines, the plane can fly 8,000 nautical miles nonstop.

The asking price for the jumbo jet is $367 million — that’s before all the luxurious goodies are installed.
As you may have guessed, all interior components and cabinets are custom designed and built in-house using only the finest materials.

This is certainly a far cry from the lesser private jets of the world.

… even makes the world’s luxury hotels somewhat obsolete.
