Private jets are exclusive means of transportation dedicated to a small circle of people who can afford to spend big bucks to travel.
The countless comforts and benefits of flying aboard a private jet are not within everyone’s reach, and although more and more travelers are able to afford to charter private jets, most are left to dream. And as mentioned earlier, in this article we will try to dream big. What are the most expensive private jets in the world?
