It is stunning - just stunning, and certainly the most magnificent 747 ever built and it could be yours for about US$400 million. Actually, the price is confidential but you know the saying if you need to ask the price you can't afford it! But $US400 million would be a good guess for this opulent beauty. Pictures via The Drive The magnificent 747-8 belongs to the Qatari government and only has 1,100 hours on the clock and importantly just 269 cycles on the engines. READ: Boom supersonic jet readies for rollout. For the record, it was built in 2012 and is currently located at AMAC Aerospace in Basel Switzerland. It is fitted out for a crew of 18 and 89 very well connected passengers. Amongst the appointments are; master bedroom in the nose, guest bedroom, living rooms, lounges, offices, nine lavatories, and five galleys. Did someone ask about entertainment? Try this...
