Saudi Arabia’s Football Club Al-Hilal has some big names as its patrons, including billionaire Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud.

The Saudi royal is such a big fan of Al-Hilal that he lent his $220 million Boeing 747-400 private jet to the team when they travelled to Morocco for the FIFA Club World Cup.

One of the team players, Nigerian soccer star Odion Ighalo – a former Manchester United player who signed for Al-Hilal last year and has been a part of the Saudi Pro League since 2021 – gave a behind-the-scenes tour of the opulent interior of the completely personalised Boeing 747 jumbo jet, showing off some of the perks of playing for one of the biggest teams in the Saudi Pro League.

Ighalo gives a tour of different sections of the aircraft in the video, including the cockpit where the pilots can be seen explaining some of the flight controllers while the 34-year-old soccer star and his team members relax on the plush recliner seats.

Luxury Launches reported that Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal’s Boeing 747 originally had 400 passenger seats before it was transformed into one of the most luxurious and expensive private jets in the world:

The flying castle which was purchased by the Saudi royal features two opulent bedrooms, a dining table for 14 people, and a massive golden throne in the center of the cabin.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is known for his decadent lifestyle; he doesn’t shy away from spending millions of dollars on toys like private jets and megayachts. In addition to the Boeing 747, he also owns several other private jets, including an Airbus 321 and Hawker Siddeley 125.

Must be nice.
