Private Jets are owned by only a handful of people. These machines are the epitome of luxury living and the ultimate eccentricity for those who can spare a few hundred million dollars. There is something special about owning your own jet. It gives one the freedom to design its interiors, to hire an aircrew, and to have the aircraft always available to fly to any location one chooses. Pure and sheer freedom. From high-end technology to incredible interior design, these are the most expensive private jets in the world.
