Once described as a "landmark in aviation history" by the designers, the jet certainly lives up to its mansion moniker. The master bedroom is the stand out feature in the Boeing 747 as it sits directly in the nose of the plane under the pilot's cockpit.

A full size comfy bed fills the room which is all draped in golden trim from the carpet to the bedside drawers. Pricey artwork also adorns the walls The bedroom is then connected to a glitzy en suite bathroom.

The dark furnished woods inside are finished off with golden strips to add a burst of elegance to the bathroom.

Project lead Yves Pickardt spoke about his beloved creation to Altitudes Magazine. He said: 'The owner gave us carte blanche. He wasn't looking for anything outrageously luxurious, with gold and diamonds. "On the contrary he called for some simplicity, which in the end is indeed the true luxury.
