I wonder who the other six "787 VIPs" are. I can still remember when being a millionaire meant you had truly made it...nowadays you have to buy a Boeing jet.

Boeing gets 787 order from Hong Kong's Lau

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - news) said on Tuesday it received an order for a private 787 airplane from Hong Kong real estate tycoon Joseph Lau.

The order for Boeing's new carbon-composite 787-8 model, which would seat up to 250 people if configured as a normal airliner, is valued at $153 million at list prices, the planemaker said.

In all, Boeing said it now has seven orders for private 787s, or "787 VIPs" as it calls them. It is pitching this mega-business jet at wealthy entrepreneurs, especially in Asia, where business people tend to travel longer distances.

It has not made public the names of other 787 VIP buyers. The first 787 is set to roll off Boeing's Seattle production line in July and is set for its first test flight in August.
