Bangalore: There has been a sturdy increase in the number of Indian millionaires and billionaires in the past few years. With the increase in wealth, their choices seem to be reaching the skies. So what if you own a Rolls-Royce? It's kaput if you do not own a jet! When you are a billionaire, you merely cannot feel comfortable soaring on a commercial plane with other equally well-off people.
It's surprising though, that India has almost double the number of private jets compared to China that has many more billionaires. And the other interesting fact is that none of these private jets are second hand (Donald trump bought a Boeing 757 model from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen). Here are a few Indian billionaires" own jet stories on the run (way).
Mukesh Ambani
How can anybody talk about Indian billionaires and not mention Mukesh Ambani? A mix between a (flying) hotel and a boardroom is what the Managing director of Reliance Industries owns. Boeing Business Jet 2 is the 1,004 sqft plane with a complete executive office and a private bedroom suite and is worth $73 million (approx
327 crore). Ambani also owns a Falcon 900EX jet and an Airbus 319 which has been custom-fitted with an office, a cabin with game consoles, music systems, satellite television and wireless communications.
