Summer is right around the corner, which means it is peak travel season. While most people fly commercial airlines for their business and pleasure, the rich and famous typically opt to fly in high style. Why bother with tedious airport security lines, standstill traffic, or crammed seating when you can afford the ultimate status symbol - a private jet? These opulent aircrafts - equipped with ample reclining space, advanced technology, and luxurious amenities - are also accompanied by jaw-dropping price tags. However, many wealthy public figures have spared no expense to travel in comfort and sophistication. Here are eight celebrities with some of the most expensive private jets.
