Meet the five most luxurious private jets and their owners. Five most luxurious private jets and what makes them special

You may call them flying luxury resorts, but those who own them call them necessities. Private jets have proven their worth since the time they came into use. Their owners don’t buy them as a fashion statement or to show off their wealth but instead believe that these private jets make their life efficient. These private jets make their travel faster but also offer them the peace to strategise and contemplate their next multi-million dollar deals!

And to make their stay in the sky comfortable, almost all private jet owners customise their flying machines to suit their unique requirements and tastes. But the customisation is so exquisite that standard business jets get transformed into some of the most luxurious private jets.
