39. Karl Lagerfeld

Model: Boeing Business Jet
Cost: $395 million* ($16,000* per hour to charter)
Net Worth: $300 million*
The late Karl Lagerfeld loved private jets so much that, in 2012 at Paris Fashion Week, he hosted a private-jet-themed show. His Chanel show demonstrated that private plans are still the “it’ signifier of wealth among the rich and famous. The Chanel Haute Couture show likely was inspired by Lagerfeld’s jet, a Boeing Business Jet.


The BBJ is a large, private charter craft that has 5,390 cubic feet of cabin space. Lagerfeld’s plane has a board room, VIP bedroom, lounge, business office, and two bathrooms. There is also a separate galley, luggage room, and washroom. Each BBJ costs around $395 million, with larger versions hitting $426 million. To charter one, you’ll pay $16,000 an hour.
