Didn’t know that Bill had four of them, he’s usually one of the more high profile climate change bleaters.

I didn’t either til I googled it this morning.

So you have a private jet, but are worried it might be getting a service / private jet MOT when you want to use it. So you buy a second private jet.

You are still well under the average number of jets per Bug owner. Why?

@SSO I reckon you are probably best places to try and answer this for me…..

There is nothing average about the "average" Bug owner. Most own their own businesses and my guess is a lot of the private jets are actually owned by the business while the cars are privately held.

I have no idea where I read that, but yes, like @SSO says, the jets are almost always a business asset.

I guess its a slippery slope when you're that rich you can have a fleet of cars, but, and I think we've also discussed this before, how many cars is too many cars, to the point where you're rarely actually driving any of them or it becomes a great private collection that nobody else will ever see.
