Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal al-Saud is one of the richest monarchs in the world. Dealbook has reported that the prince has gone to new lengths with his wealth, spending around $500 million on a customized A380 from Airbus.

This creation will be the most expensive private jet to ever exist.

The A380 is usually a commercial airliner and can hold 800 passengers on its three levels. Here is what is inside the prince’s tricked out version of this jet:

A parking spot for his Rolls-Royce

Five suites with king-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms with showers

First-class “sleepers” for an additional 20 guests

A steam room for spa treatments and a marble-finished Turkish bath

A boardroom with holographic displays

A prayer area “in which computer-generated mats move to point towards Mecca”

A “concert hall” with a baby grand piano and seating for 10

A spiral staircase connecting all three floors

The plane is expected to make its first trip in 2013.
