The Boeing 747 is primarily known as a passenger jet, but if your wallet is large enough, you can own one as a private jet. Real estate mogul Joseph Lau ordered one from the company to be his personal flying castle and it is pretty impressive.

1. The Airbus A380
Like the Boeing 747, the Airbus A380 is primarily used as a commercial passenger jet due to its extremely large size. But if you’re willing to shell out the cash, Airbus will sell you one to be used as your private jet. Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal from Saudi Arabia picked one up for a cool $300 million dollars for one, and like the previous jet, he essentially turned it into a flying mansion.
