In my daily log I saw that a private jet belonging to a famous US celebrity had landed at Luton which got me thinking whether there is a list of aircraft owned by famous people.

I came across one website which is mainly US focused (http://www.celebrityaircraft.com). I was wondering if there was anything else out there for UK/Europe.

Perhaps people could add to this thread any celebrity-owned aircraft they are aware of.
Here's a few I know of:

VQ-BLA – Lakshmi Mittal, UK richest man. Based at Luton
G-EVLN – Part of the Rothschild family
M-FINK – Former Man Financial boss Stanley Fink
P4-MES - Roman Abramovich (767)
N900MV - Michael Bloomberg (Falcon)
N699HH – George Hicks (Liverpool owner)
VP-BDJ – Donald Trump (727)

You'll find quite a few in the Logos threads! One that comes to mind is:

N2N - Steve Jobs - Apple Computer, GLF5

ACW367

N30GZ - Emivest SJ30 - Morgan Freeman
G-SIRA - E135BJ Lord Alan Sugar

As per my original posting earlier in his thread, the problem with the celebrityaircraft.com website is that it is mainly US based.

Would be great if people could post any non US owners they know of.

No luck as far as finding a non-US site I'm afraid, but I can add to the list with some involved with motor racing:

G-REYS Challenger of Mclaren/Ron Dennis
HB-JEG Falcon Michael Schumacher
G-OFOA and G-OFOM BAE 146 "Bernie" Airways
Bernie's new toy rumoured to be a Falcon 7X N999BE
OE-HII Challenger Nikki Lauda
HB-JEO Legacy Rubens Barrichello
G-IOOX Learjet David Richards (Prodrive)

and separately, Harrods owner:
G-HRDS Gulfstream   Mohammed Al Fayed
