12 Amazing Famously Owned Private Planes\r
\r
5 - Roman Abramovich - Money is no object for Russian billionaire and oil magnate Roman Abramovich. The privatizer of the Russian oil industry and owner of the Chelsea Football Club definitely knows how to fly in style. He purchased and modified a Boeing 767-33A. The plane is known as the “Bandit”, because the cockpit paint job makes it appear as though the plane is wearing a mask. The ultra-luxury private jet features chestnut interiors, accented with gold. The “Bandit” is also one of the safest planes around, and includes defensive countermeasures normally seen in military aircraft. \r

4 - Oprah Winfrey - Celebrity, producer, philanthropist, and owner of the OWN network also owns something else, a Bombardier Global Express XRS private business jet. Oprahs XRS was custom designed for her by Bombardier. It was modified to limit seating to 10 passengers in order to make room for other in-flight amenities. The entire interior is made of leather and the bathroom and galley kitchen sport designer fixtures. The plane was also tweaked to improve the cabin layout and lighting. The plane is powered by twin Rolls-Royce engines that can reach an altitude of 51,000 feet. If youre looking to obtain a jet just like Oprahs, it will set you back a cool $42 million.\r

3 - The Sultan of Brunei - When youre the Sultan of a small oil rich nation like Brunei, and one of the worlds richest monarchs, you need to find a way to spend some of your vast fortune. Thats why the Sultan of Brunei is the proud owner of one of the most lavish and luxurious private jets in the world, the Boeing 747-430. This one of a kind aircraft was initially purchased for $100 million dollars. The Sultan then invested another $120 million dollars to transform the plane into something befitting his status. Upgrades like solid gold sinks and Lalique crystal abound throughout the plane. The 747 is the crown jewel in the Sultans fleet, which also includes two Airbus A340s and a Boeing 767.\r

2 - Donald Trump - When youre a famous billionaire whos known for his opulent taste, you would expect nothing less than to have a highly customized Boeing 727-23 so you could travel in style. And because its the Donald Trump, youd make sure to have your name plastered across the side of it in gold for good measure. The real-estate investor turned reality TV star turned politician has owned the plane for over two decades. The one-of-a-kind luxury jet can accommodate 23 passengers and comes with a list of standard billionaire features, including a master bedroom, dining area, conference room, gold plated seatbelts, and Waterford crystal lamps. The jet has logged over 42,000 flight hours, and thats before he began his campaign for President. \r

1 - Barack Obama (Air Force One) - Air Force One is the official air traffic control sign when a United States Air Force plane is carrying the President. The plane currently used for that purpose is the Boeing 747-200B. The 747 is a heavily modified luxury plane that includes some amenities not found anywhere else, including 4,000 square feet of space, spread over 3 levels, a Presidential suite with a large office, private bathroom and conference room, two kitchen galleys that can feed up to 100 people at a time, medical area with operating room, and quarters for senior staff and secret service agents. The plane is also designed to operate as a mobile command center and has secure and unsecure communications systems built to withstand an electromagnetic pulse. The plane can reach speeds of up to 620 miles per hour and carries a number of classified weapons systems and countermeasures. The cost to outfit the President with a mobile Oval office - only $330 million taxpayer dollars.
