Originally designed to carry 280 passengers, a mystery billionaire who is also a health freak has converted a Boeing 787 into his flying mansion and even built a gym in it. His $350 million private jet has a spacious lounge with Italian marble, an office, and luxurious private rooms.

Award-winning American company Greenpoint Technologies is a premier Business Jet Completion Center that has made its name in the industry by offering custom aircraft interiors for private clients, governments, and heads of state. The Washington-based competition center has over 35 years of experience in the VIP industry and closely worked with Boeing for over 20 years. During this period, Greenpoint has delivered some of the most ambitious and opulent VIP jet conversions, including the world’s first V-VIP Boeing 747-8 custom-created for a mystery client from the Middle East. Greenpoint’s portfolio is full of jaw-dropping interior completions with industry-first features and amenities. Case in point, this flying superyacht has a thoroughly modern interior finished with the absolute best materials and even has an onboard gym.

Without disclosing the name of the jet’s owner, Greenpoint says it partnered with the client to convert the interior of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner into one of the most sophisticated executive cabins. Catering to various needs, the V-VIP interior features open living space and distinct private rooms. According to the American company, this V-VIP 787 has a grand master suite that includes its own lounge and office. It’s finished in the finest of materials, including Calacatta Borghini marble, book-matched American walnut, and boucle hand-tufted carpet. The talking point of the main lounge is a metallic glass tile wall, which is claimed to be the first of its kind to be certified on a 787. It also features embossed hand-tipped leather seats, while all the tables have a glossy piano black finish.

This could very well be the first and only large aircraft to have a gym.

The highlight of the Dreamliner V-VIP cabin is its gym with vaulted ceilings and a full-size treadmill. Putting a gym inside an aircraft is more complicated than it sounds. Aircraft frequently face turbulence mid-flight, which makes it difficult to design a gym that’s safe to use. However, Greenpoint has done it with this flying superyacht while perfectly optimizing space and overcoming all the safety concerns. Sadly, that’s all the information we have on this business jet conversion.

Used by multiple airlines for long and ultra long-haul routes the Boeing 787 can comfortably carry 242 passengers.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a wide-body jet airliner that flew for the first time in 2009. The 787-8 measures 57 meters in length, and the commercial jet version can accommodate 242 passengers. Powered by a pair of General Electric GEnx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 high-bypass turbofans, the 787-8 has a range of around 7,355 nautical miles (8,464 miles) and can fly 17 hours without any stops. Greenpoint didn’t disclose the price of the jet, but it could easily cost upwards of $350 million.
