1. Bill Gates – Bombardier BD-700 Global Express
Bill Gates is the current second richest man in the world (as of October 2017). Although he does not like spending extravagantly and is the biggest celebrity philanthropist – he has even pledged half his wealth to charity – one of the few luxury items he’s allowed himself to splurge on is the $40 million private plane.
The flight comes with room for up to 19 guests, the range to fly from New York to Tokyo nonstop (not many commercial flights can even do that), and an avionics suite, which gives the Global Express optimal flying efficiency and great navigation capabilities.
