Dec. 1, 1997, from the New York Post: Time for Gatesgate?
Bill Gates has no idea what happened to his new $21 million private jet.
"All he knows is Melinda lost it somewhere in the nursery," a Microsoft company flack told Page Six, almost apologetically,
adding that the world's richest man "will skibble right out and buy another."

I get the point, but this article is from 1997. Its now 2011 so he's been flying in comfort for quite a while.

I can only deduce you were agreeing with the quote "if you can afford a Rolls Royce, few people would choose a mini". Check out all the Sports Stars/Celebs, what comfort "most" of them travel in.

He must think his private jet is good value.

On a slightly different note. I was on Concorde recently & according to the tour staff Michael Jackson used to buy two seats (so no-one could sit next to him) then "throw a blanket over his head" so no-one could see him I suppose!! on flights with them.
