The plane is said to be costing the Saudi billionaire more than $300 million and is being purchased and outfitted solely for his private comfort.</p><p>Airbus SAS hasn&#8217;t released a specific price tag for the VIP double-decker jet, with its football field-length wings, saying only that it would cost more than the aircraft&#8217;s list price of $320 million.</p><p>That doesn&#8217;t even include the money the prince will spend to custom fit the nearly 6,000-square foot plane to include whatever he wants. The options include private bedrooms, a movie theater or even a gym with a jacuzzi. He&#8217;ll also need a flight crew of about 15 to operate the luxury liner.</p><p>The Saudi Prince is the single largest individual shareholder of Citigroup Inc. and the thirteenth richest person in the world with a fortune estimated at around $20 billion.</p><p>As a member of the Saudi royal family, he benefits from the country&#8217;s vast oil wealth. But much of bin Talal&#8217;s huge fortune comes from his investment firm, the $25-billion Kingdom Holding Co., which has stakes in Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s News Corp., Fairmont Raffles Hotels International Inc., Time Warner Inc., Apple Inc., PepsiCo Inc., Walt Disney Co. to name a few major corporations.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2007/11/13/saudi-prince-to-buy-flying-palace/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></channel> </rss>
