See inside the first private-jet version of the Boeing 737 Max. The extravagant plane is worth over $100 million and has a bar, two bedrooms, and huge showers.
The first Boeing 737 Max to be converted to a business jet was on display at EBACE.
Boeing Business Jets appears to sell the model for around $110 million.
This jet had two large bedrooms and two showers, plus a bar made from Italian marble.
The Boeing 737 Max doesn't have the best reputation. After 346 people died in 2018 and 2019, it again made headlines in January after an Alaska Airlines jet lost a door plug in midair.
Yet while it is outsold by the Airbus A320neo, the 737 Max still remains popular with customers. That doesn't just mean commercial operators, though, as it can also be turned into a private jet.
The first one was delivered in 2018, and this jet was on display at EBACE, Europe's largest business aviation conference, in May.
Having your own airliner comes with a lot more space than a purpose-built business jet. The $75 million Dassault Falcon 10X might have a bedroom and a shower, but this 737 Max has two of each plus a huge cabin.
Boeing has a business jets division that caters to wealthy clients who want an airliner to call their own.The BBJ display at EBACE.

The BBJ Max 8 can also fly further than a normal Max 8. Its range is 7,500 miles, as opposed to 4,082 miles. This is due to Boeing being able to install additional fuel tanks in the private version of the plane.
Turning right from the entrance, a narrow corridor leads toward the cabin.Looking down the first corridor.

Flying commercial, you'll only find a bar in business class on superjumbo jets or Virgin Atlantic's A350.
