Inside $80 million customized Boeing business jet
Boeing's customised 737
If you have a spare $80million lying around you might be in the market for a new Boeing jet unveiled this week in Shanghai, China.
Boeing flaunted its high-tech customised 737 at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition.
Earlier this month, the aviation giant delivered this modified 737, similar to the one on show in China, to a private businessman in the United States - and it is the customer's second private Boeing jet.
The 737 retails for a mere $57million. But interior remodeling, done by an independent company and ranging between $20 and $25 million typically push total costs for the Boeing 737 to around $80million.
The plane can carry up to 19 passengers and flies 5,600 nautical miles at Mach 0.80, or roughly 12 hours of nonstop flight, before it needs refueling.
A conference room features connectivity for smartphones and computers, and a high-definition video system boasts surround-sound audio.

night out in Dubai.
Harry Harling, 15, had

women admits eating her own placenta, experts reveal the health benefits
January
Jones has certainly been mysterious about the paternity of her son, but one
thing she hasn't been shy to admit is how she ate her own placenta following
his birth.
Eating the placenta
however, is not an uncommon practice these days, and has become something of a
trend among new mothers interested in the much talked about health benefits.
Chinese herbalists among
others believe that re-ingesting the protective layer that connects the baby to
the wall of the uterus is common sense when it comes to nourishing the body
after childbirth.

Smart.
