It might have been designed for 280 passengers, but this Boeing 787 palace in the sky is perfect for its secret billionaire owner.
Costing $350 million, this private jet is far more than just a sky-bound runaround.
In fact, with a spacious lounge furnished with Italian marble, an office, and luxurious private rooms, and even a gym – it’s a veritable palace in the sky.

Award-winning Washington-based US company, Greenpoint Technologies, is a premier Business Jet Completion Center.
For the right price, it offers its über-wealthy private clients, governments and heads of state custom aircraft interiors.
During its 35 years in the field, they’ve worked closely with Boeing for over 20 and know their aircraft inside out.
Their conversions are both ambitious and opulent, like the world’s first V-VIP Boeing 747-8, that took private jet opulence up a gear and skywards.
Back to this stunning jet and its modern interior finished with the best materials material can buy.
The anonymous owner even requested an onboard gym so they could keep moving while on the move.
Greenpoint exolained that it partnered with the client to convert the interior of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner into sophisticated executive cabins.
The V-VIP interior features open living space and distinct private rooms.
The grand master suite includes its own lounge and office, finished in the finest Calacatta Borghini marble, book-matched American walnut, and boucle hand-tufted carpet.
Check out these other private jet bedrooms, which are better than a 5-star hotel.
Embossed hand-tipped leather seats and glossy piano-black tables also feature.
But it’s a metallic glass tile wall in the main lounge that’s really changed the game – it’s the first of its kind on a 787.
But the real USP of the aircraft is its vaulted-ceilinged gym.
Boasting a full-size treadmill, it’s specially designed for working out under the threat of turbulence – free weights may have proven a little risky.
Greenpoint rose to the challenge, however, optimizing space and overcoming all the associated safety concerns.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
