For most people, private jets such as the $61.5 million Gulfstream G550 or the Bombardier Global Series are the epitome of luxury air travel, but there are a select few who can afford more than that. They're converting airliners into private flying palaces.

The most famous example in recent memory being Donald Trump's $100 million Boeing 757-200 business jet.

To meet this demand, Airbus and Boeing have begun selling "VIP" versions of their airliners under the Airbus Corporate Jet and Boeing Business Jet brands. While most of these planes are based on smaller Airbus A320 series or Boeing 737 models, one recent VIP conversion took luxury to a new level.

One very lucky, very wealthy, and very confidential client took delivery of a personalized Boeing 747-8, completed by Greenpoint Technologies of Kirkland, Washington. Its incredible 4,786 sq. ft. of space features a stateroom, lounges, an office, and a massive dining room.
