Wouldn’t it be nice if you could afford luxury air travel – for many of us luxury would be extra leg room, or a seats that can be put back into a comfortable sleeping position. For the rich, it would mean champagne and seats that turn into beds, and of course your personal hostess.

According to the New York Daily News, Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page bought a Boeing 767 at the beginning of the year for their personal use, and are in the process of having it refitted. So far they have requested a exercise gymnasium, Californian King size beds and a piano, in a project, which is budgeted at $10 million.

The Boeing 767 isn’t usually associated with a corporate jet as it can carry up to 180 people, but the Google founders want to add state rooms and luxury living quarters. News of the big-ticket purchase caused a stir given that Page and Brin, whose combined net worth is estimated to be upwards of $20 billion, had not been known for lavish lifestyles.
