$400 Million Private Jet



All photos: Edése Doret Industrial Design.

What's shocking about this picture isn't the fact that it's a rather large and glitzy dining room. No, what will completely blow your mind is the fact that this is just one of many over the top spaces inside a private plane.



This isn't your standard issue millionaire's jet either. You are looking at the interior of a completely remodeled Airbus A380, yes that monstrous plane soon to be hauling 550 passengers around in a single sitting. The property of an Arab oil magnate with a bit of extra coin to blow, this plane cost its owner a mere 300 million dollars with another 100 million tossed about just for the decadent interiors.



The interior was designed by Edése Doret Industrial Design, which specializes in jet interiors. The ultra luxurious plane will feature a 600 foot master bedroom, lounge and game room. To top it off, two features that would please even the grandest James Bond megalomaniac: a whirlpool tub with a system to drain the water in seconds and a missile defense system.

When you can call one of your buddies on your diamond studded phone from 35,000 feet while relaxing in your A380's whirlpool tub, that's when you KNOW you've got some serious cash.
