Qatari Royal Family Lists Its Private Jet For Sale & It Could Be Yours For Just £500 million
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Qatar's royal family has put its luxury jet up for sale and it could sell for as much much as £500,000,000 (that's 500 million). The Royal Family has a whole fleet of Business Jets often called as the Qatar Amiri fleet. There are almost a dozen planes, and one of them is the Boeing 747-8, the world's largest business jet. The Royal Family has two of these Boeing 747-8s and is now looking to sell one of them. To be more precise, the one up for sale has a registration code VQ-BSK and was delivered just recently in December 2012. The interior redesign was completed in December 2014, and the aircraft finally entered service in January 2015. © Controller The aircraft has logged just 436 flight hours along with 200 cycles and is equipped to transport 76 passengers in an extremely luxurious cabin. Onboard facilities include a large bedroom with a double bed, a living room, staterooms and meeting rooms, a bathroom and even its own special hospital. © Controller The Boeing 747-8i, also known as the 747 Dreamliner has a list price of US$ 370 million and is designed to carry more than 400 passengers in a three-class layout. Currently, airlines like Lufthansa and British Airways operate this aircraft and it is among the most popular aircrafts in the world, thanks to the legacy of 747 series. © Controller Right now it remains unclear as to why the Royal Family is open to selling this crown jewel, the other 747-8 in their fleet is a lot more subtle from the outside though. Keep in mind, even though there are numerous pictures available online about the interiors, there are still many features and additions on board the aircraft that are not meant for everyone's eyes. © Controller The Qatar Amiri Fleet also includes a three widebody Airbus A340s and two A330s. For more routine and short turnaround work, it has around eight narrow-body A320s as well as a single A310. Basically yes, the Royal Family has its own mini airline that is waiting round the clock for them. © Controller It's unclear who the new buyer will be, or whether there will be one in the first place. Business Jets are a huge liability, and the 747-8 burns fuel and requires maintenance like a monster. In fact, the American President is also going to get a new aircraft, often referred to as the "Air Force One", and its obviously going to be a heavily customized Boeing 747-8. If you're actually thinking of getting one, the Qatar Royal Family is also looking to sell its 40-year-old Boeing 747SP for a considerably lesser US$ 9.5 million. Source: The Guardian -

The Most Expensive Parking Spot In The World Costs A Million Dollars & It's Time To Move To Mars
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If you live in a metropolitan city, be it anywhere in the world, you know all too well the woes of finding a good parking spot. Finding the G-spot is easier perhaps. Road rage in third world cities is being replaced by parking rage. Neighbours bickering over dripping clothes in their balconies is a thing of the past; these days the only fights are over parking. © Pexels Buying a house is easier than buying a parking spot it seems. We never thought we'd be saying this but the most expensive parking spot in the world costs a whopping one million dollars. The city is New York and the area is Manhattan, one of the most populated spaces in the city. There are 10 parking spots in a luxury condo built by 42 Crosby St. in Manhattan's posh Soho district, and the price of each of the parking spots (that houses a single car) is one million dollar. That's over Rs 6.8 crore. © Twitter/Gerard Baker Ironically, the per square foot cost of the apartments they come with is cheaper. The cheapest apartment is priced at $3,140 per square foot while the parking space below is at $5,000 per square foot. Yep, think twice before buying a second car. The spot is for lifetime and parks a single car. It really is an insane amount to pay for a parking. There is another building in the Hudson Square district in New York that has set the price of parking spots at one million dollars. The building at 15 Renwick St. has 3 parking spots priced at $1 million dollar along that come with the 2 penthouses priced at $7 million and $11 million. Of course, this is the price of the most expensive parking spot in the world and these are luxury spaces meant for the well-heeled who's who of the world. But if you thought this is just a first world phenomena, let us tell you a parking spot in Hong Kong was sold for $760,000, and another for $664,260. And these parking spaces were much smaller (over 150 sq. feet) than the ones in Manhattan. -
