With all of the customizations, the jet more likely cost upwards of $150 million, with sources also revealing that Kim’s special guests aboard the plane are given a pair of SKIMS slippers and pajamas for their trip.
The Créme color used in the plane – which seats 18 passengers – is the same one used in Kim’s own home.
Kim designed the interior with some help from Tommy Clements and Waldo Fernandez, the latter of which helped design Travis Barker’s home.
