32. Bill Gates

Co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates doesn't just have one private jet. He also quite a few. He has one Global Express jet as well as 2 Gulfstream 650ER private jets. I don't know why you'd need more than one, but I suppose if you're a collector and have the money for it (which he definitely does).
33. Rita Ora

38. Eva Longoria
Image Source / BOAT International
When actress Eva Longoria decided to take a tour of her family history in Spain, she wanted to do it in a private jet to more easily get to lesser-known places while tracing her ancestry. Makes sense! It's the ideal (and most luxurious) way to travel if you're going around a few places in a short space of time.
39. Elsa Pataky
Image Source / BOAT International
If you think Chris Hemsworth is busy enough, what about his wife too? When you're married to a Hollywood actor, and also an actress yourself, the a private jet becomes a must-have.

43. Sean Combs (P. Diddy)
Image Source / BOAT International
For P.Diddy, when you've a party or two to get to, you best get there in style. And a superyacht, which he has experience in, too, just won't cut it. Combs used a private yet - complete with personalised welcome mat - for his journey to Las Vegas to host a New Year's Eve party.

47. David De Gea

49. Kendall Jenner
Image Source / BOAT International
We probably don't have to explain that each and every member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan presumably has their own private jet. As well as Kylie and Kim, Kendall also has her own luxury jet, shown off in a post when she was flying in style to Cuba.
50. Paris Hilton
Image Source / BOAT International
Paris Hilton will be no stranger to luxury travel seeing as she's been a hotel heiress her entire life, so private jets were probably her childhood way of getting around when the rest of us were trying to find taxis. She's so comfortable on her private jet she can even pop into the cockpit for a quick hello.
