This Wall Street billionaire turned his $25 million Gulfstream into a high tech trading desk.
When it came time to renovate his outdated private jet, a billionaire stock trader had his Gulfstream 550 gutted and transformed to look like his Manhattan office — complete with a 42-inch TV and an $85,000 custom trading desk with dual monitors.
"Our client [is] able to trade in real time, from his desk in the sky, at lightning speed," says Eric Roth, president of International Jet Interiors in Ronkonkoma, New York, which revamped the plane. But it didn't come cheap: Roth tells"Secret Lives of the Super Rich" the client spent $100,000 for the equipment.But it's not all about work. For example, the custom Italian leather seats were inspired by a coat the financier's wife bought during a trip to Milan, Italy.
