4. «Boeing 747» Joseph Lau

American Airlines passengers are familiar with the iconic Boeing 747 and its supposed “luxury” interior: dim gray carpets, tight spaces, and minimal legroom. It’s like flying in a cardboard box—some luxury indeed!

For most people, this level of comfort is the height of luxury, but for billionaire real estate mogul Joseph Lau, flying like the average traveler would be unthinkable. That’s why he decided to purchase his very own Boeing 747 for $150 million. He outfitted it with meeting rooms, office space—perhaps to keep tabs on his wealth more easily—and, rumor has it, even guest rooms and a gym. Now that’s luxury! Safe travels, Mr. Lau!
