✈️ Why is the BBJ a billionaire's thing?

1. Very high entry price

• The “raw” plane alone costs US$ 80 to 100 million.

• VIP customization (luxury interior) can add another US$ 20 to 40 million.

• In other words: the complete package usually costs US$ 100 to 150 million+.

2. Incredible space

• Can accommodate 25 to 50 passengers, but with presidential comfort.

• The cabin has space for:

• Master suite with king-size bed and bathroom with shower

• Dining room

• Full office

• Cinema room

• Lounge and bar

3. Global reach

4. Operating Cost

If a regular jet is the equivalent of a “luxury car,” the BBJ is a yacht with wings. It's made for those who want no limits — not even in the sky.
