This plane is the pimp daddy of all planes with:
• 2 Dining rooms
• A 600 square foot bedroom
• Games room
• Whirlpool tubs.
It’s a pimped up Airbus A380 “superjumbo” that’s cost a massive £225m. The refit alone will cost approximately £75m and the plane, around £150m.
For the safety conscious the plane be fitted with the latest missile-defense system. The lounge will be fitted with curtains that mimic tents of the Arabian desert, and a fibre-optic mosaic that will depict a shifting desert scene.
In terms of running costs, you could be looking at £2500 - £4000 per hour to fly.
Nice to see the rich and famous lead an example of reducing Carbon Footprints!

We recommended the Burgh Al Arab in our previous post What Gift for a Forex Billionaire but now we have spotted a hotel of equal opulence.
Feted as offering the “worlds most expensive suite” for £20,148 ($37,273) per night the Hotel Martinez in Cannes might well provide the perfect romantic getaway.
For your money you get 1000 sq m of accommodation incorporating four bedrooms, two saunas, two whirlpool baths with aspects over the Mediterranean, two living rooms, two dressing rooms and two dining rooms.
It doesn’t get much more luxurious than that!
