$488 million dollars *more images now
10. June 2009


That’s how much a this bespoke Airbus A380 being developed for Saudi prince al-Waleed bin Talal is going to cost. Holy motherloving Jesus.  To put this in some perspective, one of the most popular large private planes in the world is the Boeing Business Jet, which is $42m.  Read more after the jump.

So, aswell as being the first private A380 purchased, it’s also the most expensive plane in history.

Lets get into some details, starting with the special cylindrical elevator that comes out of the bottom of the plane. His chauffeurs can then drive his Rolls Royce up the ramp on the rear, and park it in his on-board garage.

There’s a steam room, Turkish bath, concert hall (with a baby grand piano) and five private suites complete with king size beds. Not part of the inner circle?  You’ll just have to slum it in one of the 20 “normal” first class sleeper suites.

Of course there’s a boardroom, with touch screen and holographic paraphernalia, but this pales in comparison to the giant screen that makes up the ground floor, giving a view of where the plane is traveling.

I’ve got to be honest, my snarky remark bank is totally empty this morning.  I’ve got nothing.  I can’t even produce some pathetic “hey guys, aren’t the Saudis those guys who charge us for all that oil and stuff, and who are quite bad about human rights and stuff?”.  See, not worth it.

Screw it, I’m taking a day off.  Enjoy this instead:
