Paris Hilton reveals how the ultra-rich travel

Paris Hilton's jet

FOR most people having a luxury jet to yourself is a dream that seems very out-of-reach.
Not for multi-millionaire hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
Ms Hilton has given us a glimpse of how the other half travel by posting images of her travelling in a luxury plane on Twitter.
It was luxury all the way for Ms Hilton, who tweeted a picture of herself yesterday reclining on a bed on her jet as she flew to Paris, France from London, UK.
“I love this city! One of my favourite cities in the world,” Ms Hilton said.
Other images show Ms Hilton lying on a leather couch, snuggling up to her pet pooch Tinkerbell and surrounded by numerous pieces of luggage while on the way to the World Cup in South Africa.
Ms Hilton is even pictured in the cockpit “piloting” the plane.
The private jet, a 1979 Boeing 747, is worth around $270 million ($307 million) and is owned by Sheldon Adelson, CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
Earlier this month the heiress was arrested along with her friend, former Playboy playmate Jennifer Rovero, in South Africa on suspicion of possessing drugs.
Upon appearing in court Ms Hilton was told the charges against her were withdrawn.
Ms Hilton had been flown from London to South Africa, along with Leonardo DiCaprio. The pair visited the World Cup before heading out on safari.
One of her tweets from South Africa was quite predictable: "Giraffes are hot".
