[Music] I think if you gave me a billion pounds tomorrow, I wouldn't buy a private jet. You just charter them. If you don't have a need to buy a private jet, then obviously, if you have 100 billion pounds, you wouldn't buy a private jet.

But most people who have a billion pounds probably have a reason to fly around in a corporate jet. Yeah, you can charter one, there's no question about it. If you don't have a real need for one and you just need it from time to time, he's right, just charter one.

But it's like a goal though, right? I think they told us it was something like, yeah, like 1.5 million in maintenance and like 3 to 5 million in storage, or the other way around.

It's not going to cost 3 and a half million for maintenance. It's not going to cost 3 and a half million for storage. Storage, what he's talking about, is a hangar or equivalent in a car for a garage.

First of all, you don't need to put it in a hangar. You can just park it on the ramp, and the cost on the ramp is anywhere from $50 to $11,000 to park it on the ramp. And in a hangar, you probably pay between $500 and $5,000 a month to park in.
