Most Expensive Private Jets in 2026: Top 10 Ranked by Value

As of October 2026, the most expensive private jet with a documented value is Roman Abramovich’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which the US Justice Department valued at about $350 million in 2022. Alisher Usmanov’s Airbus A340-300 is estimated at a similar figure, followed by the royal Boeing 747s of Brunei and Saudi Arabia.

Prices for private airliners are rarely made public. Most figures below come from court filings, aviation press and published estimates, and they include the cost of custom cabins, which can add tens of millions of dollars to the base aircraft price.

1. Roman Abramovich’s Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner: $350 million

The Russian billionaire’s Dreamliner, registered P4-BDL, was built in 2015. The empty “green” airframe was bought in December 2017 for about $93.65 million, and the VIP cabin pushed its value far higher.

In June 2022 a federal court in Manhattan authorised the seizure of the jet, and the US Justice Department put its value at about $350 million. The aircraft has been in the UAE since March 2022 and was reported at Dubai’s Al Maktoum airport in 2025. There is no public record of it being seized or sold.

2. Alisher Usmanov’s Airbus A340-300: $350 million

Usmanov’s A340-300 is named “Bourkhan” after his father and is one of the largest private aircraft linked to a Russian businessman. It cost around $238 million before fit-out, and expert estimates put the finished jet at about $350 million.

Its Isle of Man registration, M-IABU, was revoked in 2022 after European sanctions. Usmanov’s spokesperson said he is not the owner and that the jet sits in a trust he no longer benefits from. Flight trackers later placed it in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

3. Sultan of Brunei’s Boeing 747-430: $233 million

Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah’s 747-430 is reported to have cost about $100 million as a base aircraft, with a similar sum spent on the interior. Press estimates put the total at about $233 million.

The cabin is reported to include gold fittings, a master suite and a large reception area. The Sultan also owns a large collection of cars, which our most expensive cars list covers.

4. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s Boeing 747-400: $220 million

The Saudi investor flies a Boeing 747-400, registration HZ-WBT7, owned by Kingdom Holding Company. The jet was built in 1992 for Air China and later converted to a VIP aircraft.

Simple Flying put the purchase at about $220 million, while aeroTELEGRAPH estimated the finished jet at about $450 million. Kingdom Holding has not published a figure. The aircraft is still active and was tracked flying from Riyadh to Paris Le Bourget in September 2026.

Older lists often place his Airbus A380 at the top at around $500 million. That jet was never fitted out or delivered. He reportedly sold the order in 2013, and Airbus cancelled it in December 2014.

5. Joseph Lau’s Boeing 747-8 VIP: $153 million

Hong Kong property tycoon Joseph Lau is reported to own a Boeing 747-8 VIP, the largest version of the 747. Press estimates put the aircraft at about $153 million before cabin work.

The 747-8 can carry far more than any business jet, so VIP versions are usually fitted with bedrooms, offices and dining rooms. Boeing ended 747 production in 2023, so no new examples can be ordered.

6. Mukesh Ambani’s Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ: Rs 1,000 crore

In 2024 Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani took delivery of India’s first Boeing BBJ 737 MAX 9. Indian media reported its value at over Rs 1,000 crore, which makes it the costliest private jet owned by an Indian businessman.

The jet was fitted out in Switzerland before flying to India. It joined a Reliance fleet that already included several business jets and an older Boeing Business Jet 2.

7. Roman Abramovich’s Boeing 767-300ER: $100 million

Abramovich’s 767-300ER, registered P4-MES and known as “The Bandit” for the paintwork around its cockpit, was his main jet until the Dreamliner replaced it in December 2021.

It was listed for sale in late 2021 at about $100 million. No completed sale has been publicly reported. Its last tracked flight was from London Stansted to Basel in February 2022, and it was not named in the US seizure warrant.

8. Donald Trump’s Boeing 757: $100 million

Trump bought the Boeing 757, often called “Trump Force One”, from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2011. Press estimates place its value, including the custom cabin with gold-plated fittings, at about $100 million.

Separately, the US government accepted a VIP Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar in 2025 for presidential use. L3Harris was reportedly tasked with refitting it at an estimated cost of about $400 million. As government property, it is not counted in this list of privately owned jets.

9. Mukesh Ambani’s Boeing Business Jet 2: $73 million

Before the MAX 9 arrived, Ambani’s best-known aircraft was a Boeing Business Jet 2, based on the 737-800. It is reported to have cost about $73 million with its interior.

The cabin is reported to include an office, a lounge and a master bedroom, which is common on airliner-based business jets of this size.

10. Roman Abramovich’s Gulfstream G650ER: $60 million

The Gulfstream G650ER, registered LX-RAY, is the only purpose-built business jet on this list. It was built in 2019 and bought in March 2020 for about $60 million through a Jersey company.

The US Justice Department named it in the same June 2022 seizure warrant as the Dreamliner and valued it at about $60 million. It was last reported in Moscow. The G650ER is one of the longest-range business jets in service.
