Boeing 747 dining room

United States company Greenpoint Technologies has transformed a Boeing 747 into a luxurious mansion in the sky for a mystery billionaire.

The 4,786 sq ft plane, which normally would carry up to 600 people, now features bedrooms, an onboard restaurant and multiple lounges. It also comes with a master bedroom and large dining room.

The ‘aeroloft’ on the top deck of the plane offers more sleeping space with eight full beds for guests.

The custom-built Boeing 747 is also kitted out for business use as it features an office and conference room.

Despite space constraints, internet images of the plane revealed that the interior is as luxurious as an expensive hotel room.

Greenpoint took three years to retrofit the jumbo jet which cost the owner £400 million.

“This delivery represents an outstanding year (past 12 months) for Greenpoint. We inducted our first 787, contracted our second 787, became part of Zodiac Aerospace and now, redeliver the first 747-8 VIP in the industry. Our entire team is extremely proud of this amazing accomplishment,” said Greenpoint Chairman Jon Buccola in a statement.
