Well it isn't Mr Roman Abramovich! You'd think an 747-400 would be enought for one person
AirSpace - more than just hot air
$319 million for an A380 VIP....
Alwaleed bin Talal topped the Forbes Arabia rich list last year, has invested a small piece of his estimated $20.3bn (£9.8bn) fortune in an Airbus "Flying Palace", which is priced out of most tycoons' range with a retail price of $319m.
Just in case you wonder what he looks like
I must say, the Flying Palace sounds like a bit of a stupid name to me. i know he is a prince and all but to me it doesn't sound like a fast and efficient beast, more like a bit lumping thing. It sounds as unappealing as say a skoda...Why doesn't he call it 'Speed Demon' or "Flying Eagle" or something
To be perfectly honest it sounds like the Prince is going through a mid life crisis, normally I think the bloke in question would buy a Porsche but since he's substantially richer that the average merchant banker (No, that's not meant to be rhyming slang) he's gone for the biggest toy out there.
My wings are like a shield of steel.
