You know you’ve made it when you have a private jet.
Remember when Kim Kardashian made that chill video about the jet she and Kanye chartered? Bedrooms everywhere?
That’s nothing compared to the new BBJ 777X, the private jet version of the next-generation Boeing 777X airliner.
Boeing Business Jets launched its new private jet on Monday at the Middle East Business Aviation Association Show in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, reports Business Insider.
“Our most exclusive customers want to travel with the best space and comfort and fly directly to their destination,” Greg Laxton, the head of Boeing Business Jets, said in a statement. “The new BBJ 777X will be able to do this like no other airplane before it, redefining ultra-long-range VIP travel.”
The BBJ 777X will be available in both the 777-8 and the larger 777-9 variants. Boeing says the BBJ 777-8 has a range of 13 400 miles (21 565 km), while the BBJ 777-9 can go for up to 12 700 miles (20 438km).
That’s several thousand miles further than the airliner versions of the planes can fly, which means that it can make a non-stop flight between any two cities on earth.
The private jet is basically a flying mansion. It was also launched with three interior-design concepts from Greenpoint Technologies, Jet Aviation, and Unique Aircraft Design.

This sky mansion can be all yours for a cool $395 million (around R5,7 billion) for the 777-8 or $426 million (around R6,1 billion) for the 777-9.
The 777-9 will enter service in 2020, with the 777-8 following shortly thereafter.
It’s not a bad way to travel if you have the cash.
