Ever since I heard about the Airbus A380, I knew it would make someone one very luxurious private plane. We've seen
pictures of the proposed interior before but until now we didn't have owner to put with all that luxury. A while ago it was rumored that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich was the owner but Airbus has announced that Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal i
s the first private buyer of an A380. Prince Alwaleed's Flying Palace will not be his first plane, he already owns a Boeing 747-400. A gallery of the desert-themed designs for the A380
done by Edese Doret can be found here.

I was also wondering the same. Thanks for erasing my ignorance.

More than the purchase of this plane, I found the Prince to be quite the breathe of fresh air in his opinions on the rights of women in Saudi Arabia. It was great to know his thoughts on this matter but also to see that he was man enough to stand up and vocalize them to the world! YOU GO PRINCE ALWALEED! =) Im impressed!
