Qatar’s 14 Aircraft – Over $100 Million Each
We didn’t expect Qatar’s Emir, Tamim Al Thani, to have anything less than a palace when it came to his presidential aircraft, given that he is one of the world’s wealthiest men. What we didn’t expect, though, was for him to have 14 of them! They’re all part of Qatar Amiri Flight, the Emir’s personal airline. Why wouldn’t you just buy your plane ticket at that point? Even if each of these little planes costs only $100 million?

On official government excursions, the Emir of Qatar travels with a large entourage, which can number up to 1,000 individuals. He also likes to display his extensive aircraft collection, as evidenced by the fact that he once traveled to Japan to see the Prime Minister and arrived with ten jets!
