Mark Wahlberg is the next celebrity on this list. 'Marky-Mark' owns a $72 million Bombardier Global Express, which includes the perfect features for any kind of business e.g. conferences, meetings and general networking. Mark's aircraft has a slight difference, when it comes to its interior, as it features wooden accents alongside leather (instead of the 'usual' golden plating we've seen previously). Of course, this doesn't affect the aircraft's overall comfortability, entertainment features and general amenities.

A somewhat surprising addition to this list, is actor and comedian: Jim Carrey. It doesn't seem to be in Carrey's character, for him to own a private jet, but he does.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is known for his legendary wrestling-turned-acting career, and he also adds to the number of celebrities with a private jet.

Last, but not least, on the list is television personality: Paris Hilton. Of course the queen of the early-noughties has a private jet. Paris owns a $220 million Boeing 747. Surprisingly, it doesn't feature any of Hilton's iconic color (pink) and branding. If anything, the jet's appearance seems to be the opposite of Paris' personality and overall character, but it still provides her with exquisite comfort and travelling style. This sophisticated aircraft features plenty of space, for both hosting and relaxing.
