Have $21 Million, Buy A Jet

hawker 4000
At just a smidge over $20 million, the brand new Hawker 4000 by Hawker Beechcraft is a freaking bargain when compared to its pricier competitors like the Gulfstream G200 ($2 million more) and Falcon DX ($7 million more). The company spent a billion dollars over the past 20 years developing the composite body which they claim is 70 percent stronger than aluminum and doesn't corrode. Like its larger brethren, the Hawker 4000 will come with a full compliment of modern avionics and has sufficient range to fly you from NYC to London.

While there is a two-and-a-half year waiting list if you want to purchase your very own, fractional-ownership companies like NETJETS have placed orders so you'll be able fly in one in the near future.
