Saudi Gazette Flying privately is a whole other game altogether. It is one of need rather than gloat. If you are chartering a private jet, odds are that you need the convenience, privacy and speed with which it completes your tasks. Purchasing a private jet outright can be rather costly, however. At the upper end you're looking at spending nearly $60 million and at the lower end you should be looking somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million.Here we show them from the least-expensive to the crown's jewel.5. Dassault Falcon 7X: $41 million The Falcon was introduced in 2005 as Dassault Aviation's Flagship jet. It is a large-cabin, long-range business jet that sits at the pinnacle of their line. The plane is built in France and has a reputation for it's fantastic build quality. It is estimated to cost around $41 million USD.4. Gulfstream V-SP: $45 million The Gulfstream V-SP was the G550?s predecessor and as such was at the top of the private jet world. The Gulstream V-SP is used by the US military as well but it is known as the C-37A. This was one of Gulfstream Aerospace's high points and helped establish them as one of the world's foremost jet producers. 3. Bombardier Global Express XRS: $47.7 million French Canada's Bombardier builds an incredible jet in the Global Express XRS. It is an ultra long range corporate and VIP jet capable of speeds pushing 600 MPH. It is an incredible piece of machinery and has basically proven that Bombardier can build whatever it likes and it will be incredible.2. Boeing Business Jet 2: $55.5 million Everybody's favorite! General Electric got together with Boeing Commercial Airplanes to produce the BBJ2. The Boeing Business Jet 2 is a variant of some other Boeing Jet, initially the 737, that is capable of carrying up to 50 passengers with room for amenities such as a master bedroom, a washroom with showers, and both a dining room and living room. I guess when you're majority shareholder in one of America's largest corporations you really grow tired of 14 seater planes and can afford to fly an apartment through the sky. It is absolutely incredible that this jet exists and some of them are marvels of engineering, luxury and design.1. Gulfstream G550: $59.9 million And the G550. When rappers rap about flying in private jets, they wish it was the G550. This plane has the longest range in its class and can literally fly you to the other side of the world.
