MONTREAL (June 5, 2006) — Oprah Winfrey is about to receive the custom-built, $42 million executive jet she ordered from Bombardier Aerospace, a Canadian newspaper reported.
The talk-show host’s production company, Harpo, is paying for the Global Express XRS jet, which will have seating for about 10 passengers, the Montreal newspaper La Presse reported.
A spokesman for Bombardier told the French-language daily that Winfrey’s plane would be “typically equipped” for a jet with such a price tag.
The plane will have leather interior and designer fixtures for the bathroom and galley, among other high-end trimmings.
Bombardier’s line of executive jets have proved popular with the rich and famous. Director Steven Spielberg, computer mogul Bill Gates and Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte all reportedly have models of the Global Express jet.
