We all know Jeff Bezos is pretty rich. I mean, he's the second wealthiest person in the world, with a net worth of $191 billion, according to Forbes.
And as a result of the massive sums of money sitting in Bezos' bank account, the Amazon founder has some pretty nice things.
It was recently revealed Bezos has purchased his fourth private jet at the whopping price tag of $80 million.
Business Insider reports Bezos bought a Gulfstream G700 last month, a luxury private jet I'm sure he'll use to get to meetings across the world.

So, what is included on this swanky aircraft?
Well, it features 20 panoramic windows alongside 'whisper-quiet cabin with 100 percent fresh, plasma-ionized air replenished every two to three minutes'.
Meanwhile, Quartz reports the plane's seats are hand-crafted and can also be converted into ergonomic beds.
Pictures of the plane posted online seem to have a screen in place too, meaning Bezos and his buddies shouldn't get bored while on board.
Bezos certainly doesn't have to fly alone either, with the Gulfstream being able to accommodate up to 13 guests, while it can also sleep up to eight people.
Manufactures of the aircraft also claim the jet has broken many speed records and features innovative and sustainable technology.
According to JetSpy, Bezos appeared to take his delivery of the plane on 10 July.
The aircraft then apparently took several journeys before departing for Ibiza.
Funnily enough, Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez were papped on the Spanish island recently, walking to the Amazon founder's $500 million yacht.
Alright for some, eh.
While it may sound like Bezos and his wife-to-be live a pretty lavish lifestyle, Sanchez revealed their 'pretty normal' typical day.
"Our lives are pretty normal," she told Vogue last year. "Daily life mostly revolves around our kids."
Sharing more details on their seemingly 'normal' day-to-day lives, Sanchez revealed they have a pact that whoever wakes up first in the morning has to make the first brew.
Bezos also works out with his fiancée, with Sanchez labelling the billionaire as a 'monster in the gym'.
Sanchez went on to say the family have dinner together every single night, which follows the kids' piano and tutoring lessons.
Oh, and now they can nip out in their new private jet on the weekend too.
