Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are known for being a bit… extravagant (except with their home’s furniture) and it will come as no surprise that they don’t fly commercial.
But their latest private jet is A LOT.
Kimye flew on a private double decker Boeing 747 jet on a “long flight” yesterday – destination unknown.
And of course, this is 2018 so did you even fly on a private 747 if you didn’t show it off on Instagram? No, you didn’t.
Kim, 38, took to the gram to share photos and videos of the plane and hooooly heck. The plane has private bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, a dining room, living room, glass staircase and a gym.
“No big deal, just taking a private 747!” Kim bragged in possibly the most Kardashian video of all time. “This is how [Kanye] does it now, only 747s, private!”

I'm pretty sure I read that the plane was hired.
I did a quick Google out of curiosity. Private jets can cost millions - up to $70million - to buy. Then add on costs of fitting it out, plus fuel, plus maintenance, plus storing the damn thing, it would be massively expensive. Only worth it if you fly a lot, really. Or have actual billions of dollars. Or special security requirements and it’s being paid for by the country’s tax dollars. Much cheaper to hire one!
There wouldn't be very many private 747's I'd imagine. Even John Travolta only (only) owns a 707.
Most privately owned jets would be those smaller ones, like Gulfstreams and Lear jets.
The Saudi royals, maybe? I saw a show about a posh hotel in London (maybe the Savoy?) where some of the Saudi princesses had booked out an entire floor, for weeks. Wouldn’t surprise me if they have a private 747 to ferry them and their entourage - and shopping - around the world!
