Too much money?

OK, so I'm used to seeing the airport overflowing with private jets. Every once in a while, we even get a private 737 (or two at once, last week). However, this is just ridiculous. I'm pretty sure it's an airbus. First, why in the world do you need a private airbus?! Second, what do you have to do to make enough money to afford that?! I'm gonna have to be one hell of a doctor...

[edit] Apparently...Paul and I were equally impressed by the plane, but he decided to do a little more research than me. It's actually a Boeing 767, owned by Russian oil billionaire Roman Abramovich. In addition to the plane, he has a 177 foot yacht, a 282 foot yacht, and a 377 foot yacht. He's also got a small fleet of helicopters, a 2.2 million dollar Ferrari, and two Maybachs! Sure must be nice! Of course, this 767 has got nothing on Prince Al-Walid bin Talal's brand new Airbus A380 Superjumbo!

Just came across an article here: http://www.highchic.com/luxury-news/russian-billionaire-orders-airbus-a380-as-private-jet/
that says Roman has ordered on of the big new Airbus monsters,too.
