Saudi Arabian soccer club Al-Hilal used the world’s most expensive private plane, owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and valued at over $200 million, to fly star player Neymar Jr. to Saudi Arabia.
The customized Boeing 747 has luxury amenities like plush seats and sofas, a dining room, bedrooms, and a top-floor lounge fit for royalty travelling in incredible comfort.
Earlier this week, Neymar revealed the motives behind his big-money move to Al Hilal.

“I have achieved a lot in Europe and enjoyed special times, but I have always wanted to be a global player and test myself with new challenges and opportunities in new places,” he said.
“I want to write new sporting history, and the Saudi Pro League has tremendous energy and quality players at the moment.
I have heard a lot and learned that I am following a long list of Brazilian players who have played in Saudi Arabia over the years, so I believe it is the desired place.”
Neymar continued: “Al Hilal is a giant club with fantastic fans, and it is the best in Asia. This gives me a feeling that it is the right decision for me at the right time with the right club.
