In the annals of excess, it could be a new high: a more than $300 million dollar, super-sized luxury airplane, bought and outfitted solely for the private comfort of a Saudi Arabian billionaire.

Once done, the Airbus A380, the world's biggest passenger plane, will be a "flying palace" for Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, the manufacturer announced Monday.

Airbus SAS would not give a specific price tag for the VIP double- decker jet, with its football field-length wings, saying only that it would cost more than the aircraft's list price of $320 million.

Exclusive shops and resorts all over the world!!! WTF is wrong with his detractors?

is pretty much a cradle to grave supported society paid for by petro dollars. It is also a society controlled by the very conservative Wahabi brand of Islam. When I was there, you did not see Saudis doing any manual labor. That was performed by Indians, Pakistanis,or Phillipos. It is closed almost police state with no dissent tolerated. IMO, the combination of complete state support, fanatical Islam, political repression and a lot of free time contributes to the high number of militants that arise from the desert kingdom.
