Being the president of a nation involves a lot of responsibility, but it’s also lots of fun sometimes. Luxury hotels welcome you with expensive beverages, winter holydays are spent in warm, exotic places and airplane companies create awesome private jets for you, like in the case of French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
Also known as “Air Sarko One”, the $83 million Airbus A330 has been equipped with a conference room, a medical room and even a chair that raises the President higher than the rest of the staff whenever he is in a meeting. The jet boasts an advanced missile defense system and is large enough to transport up to twelve passengers in extreme comfort. Other amenities include an en-suite bathroom for the bedroom, $1.6 million electric shutters, two electric ovens and a $3 million office. The retrofitting process cost a staggering $410 million.
