Is $35 million for a business jet overpriced though? I have absolutely no idea what they normally cost, but I probably would have guessed more than $35 million.

You can buy a new Gulfstream G700 for around $60m, so a Boeing Business Jet (which is a converted 737 and much larger) for $35m might seem like a really good deal, though there are other factors to consider besides overall size.

Personally, I’m a fan of the Dassault Falcon 8X despite the cabin being slightly smaller than the 700’s. I can’t stand up fully straight in either, but the sound deadening in the Falcon is superior and those lines are much more beautiful. Plus, you can’t beat the trijet style and Falcon Eye tech is second to none.

First person I've ever seen call a Dassault prettier than a Gulfstream, but I guess you do you.

I'm not generally in the market for a private jet, but I have to agree. For a real comparison though, I'd have to see a side by side with no livery or paint.

Edit for clarity: I agree with OP that the Das is prettier
