The Getty family finally parked their 727 last year. One of the reasons you see so many 727s, you can get them dirt cheap, around a million, put in a 10 million interior and be on your way for a third of what a G4 or BBJ will cost you. When you only fly 15 hours a month, the bank note becomes more important than operating costs.

Mark Cubin has a 757, I've seen a Saudi 747 in KLEX a few times as well as a Kuwait ( I think) 767 at Atlantic in KIAH.

I think Hendrick or maybe one of the others uses a SAAB 2000.

I'm pretty sure Cubin has a G550 and the 757 is for the team. Of course his 550 cost more than the 757.

these days you can get an older airworthy GIV with good paint and interior for around 6 million.

Qatar bought some C17s. One of them has a nifty paint job, as I recall they use it to haul horses.

A while back Aviation Week had a picture of a white 747-8, one of the first, if not THE first, passenger variants. Caption said it was going to a private owner rumored to be based in the Middle East.
