From ultra-long-range Gulfstreams to airliners rebuilt as homes in the sky, this countdown ranks the most expensive private jets flown by billionaires and royals, by the best-supported price including custom interiors. Expect the Sultan of Brunei's gold-fitted 747, the supersonic test dive behind the Bombardier Global 8000, the Dreamliner the United States tried to seize, and the Boeing 747-8 the press called a flying palace. Animated price counters, stat callouts, route maps and a final leaderboard make every number easy to follow.

In this video: #10 Gulfstream G650ER #9 Gulfstream G700 #8 Bombardier Global 8000 #7 Boeing 767 "The Bandit" #6 Mukesh Ambani's Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 9 #5 Sultan of Brunei's Boeing 747-400 #4 Roman Abramovich's Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner #3 Alisher Usmanov's Airbus A340-300 "Bourkhan" #2 Joseph Lau's Boeing 747-8 VIP #1 Qatar's Boeing 747-8 "Flying Palace"

Owners rarely publish what they pay for private jets, so every price in this video is a reported or estimated figure from public sources, and the video says which. Famous myths, such as the VIP Airbus A380 that was never built, are explained rather than ranked.
