FATHER’S Day gifts normally range from a box of chocolates to a novelty trophy, but not if you happen to be Jay Z, and your wife is Beyonce.
Let’s take a look at the epic $40m private jet which the Crazy in Love singer purchased as a Father’s Day gift for her husband back in 2012.

She gave him the stunning plane, which features a full kitchen and two bathrooms, after the birth of their daughter, Blue Ivy.
This is how she topped the Bugatti Veyron, which she gifted him in 2010 for his 41st birthday.

Before you even step onboard, Jay Z has already made his mark.

Shawn Carter is the real name of the legendary rapper and entrepreneur.
The plane itself is a Bombardier Challenger 850, which is the largest super mid-sized business jet made by the aerospace manufacturer.
It has a whopping wingspan of 69ft and a length of 87ft.
The multi-million dollar ride is capable of high-speed cruising at 528mph.
ALL ABOARD
Inside, there is an incredible sense of space and luxury.
There is plenty of room for the whole family and a full team of staff.
Overall it can accommodate up to 16 passengers and sleep up to seven.
The couple’s customized configuration of the interior is perfect for combining family time and relaxation with their business needs.
In the main section of the cabin, there is a four-seater table, a spacious divan, and roomy passenger seating.

The color scheme is elegant with neutral tones on the walls, cream hand-crafted leather seats, and gold trim.
The floor is soft dark-brown with patterned white squares.
The plane also has enough space to accommodate business meetings as the music couple jet between their destinations.
For some family time at 30,000 feet, the plane has a living area with a large TV.
And when it’s time for Mr and Mrs Carter to go to the bedroom, they can relax in a king-sized bed with padded walls.
5 STAR FACILITIES
No passengers on this plane will ever be left with just a packet of peanuts.
There is a full kitchen on board and staff prepared to make either of the pop superstars and their guests whatever they wish.
And if Jay Z wants a glass of cognac, or Beyonce a glass of champagne, there’s also a fully stocked bar.
There are two bathrooms inside the plane featuring showers and vanity areas.
The affluent decor that passengers on this plane enjoy is a far cry from the restrooms of commercial airliners.
