When it comes to luxury living, there seems to be no family on earth that can come close to the lifestyle of the Saudi monarchy.
These lucky ones number about 15,000 men and women, and together they hold an incredible wealth estimated at a trillion (1,000,000,000,000,000) dollars.
As is well known, members of the Saudi monarchy boast a reputation for luxury travel around the world, with many of their private jets showcasing such luxurious interiors that they seem like flying palaces.
Naturally, peeks inside these planes are not common, but now, one of these planes is up for sale, allowing the general public to take a closer look.
This is a Boeing 737 (in the BBJ category, used by giant executive jets), which was used by one of the royalty.

The specific aircraft offered for sale was built in 1999, but despite its age - it performed only 6,602 flight hours - which is considered unusual for a 22-year-old aircraft.
It can comfortably fly 25 passengers at VIP level, with the interior of the aircraft divided into an entrance complex, a front crew area, a luxurious front lounge, a main lounge and a large bedroom.
In addition, the aircraft has two kitchens, located near the restrooms, similar to commercial passenger aircraft.

Like a Parisian hotel suite
However, this technical description does no favors with the level of luxury of the aircraft, and only a look at the published photographs makes it possible to get an idea of what a real palace is all about.
The interior design includes the use of light brown, turquoise and gold tones, in a way that is reminiscent of luxury suites in classic Parisian hotels.
The Luxury Launches website reports that there is no mention of the identity of the owner of the plane, but noted that due to the recent war on corruption in Saudi Arabia, the private jet industry in the kingdom has been severely damaged, forcing many royalty to offer their planes for sale.
All that is known is the civilian licensing code (VQ-BTA) and the fact that its tail is decorated with the Saudi flag.

The asking price has also not been announced so far, but it was noted that a similar aircraft, from the year of production 2001 and with a more modest interior design, was recently sold at a ridiculous price of only $ 15 million.
In contrast, a new aircraft of this type will cost $ 75 million, while a similar interior design will add to the price of $ 10 million.
