The Saudi prince plunked down $220 million for his Boeing 747-400 in 2003 and had it turned into a flying palace, complete with a thronelike chair in the living room, a dining room table that seats 14 and two comfy bedrooms. In case the Boeing experiences problems, the prince often has it trailed to its destination by his Hawker. On board the big plane: 11 flight attendants from around the world. Copies of the biography Alwaleed: Businessman, Billionaire, Prince by Riz Khan are discreetly placed on tables in the living room.
