No I think the buyers are Scotch. They've been named as the McTombs of Dubai.

I think the buyer mauy be Prince Al-Walid bin Talal who owns the company "Kingdom 5KR".

He already owns a 747 that has been converted for private use.

He also owns a couple of very nice boats.

Here's one...

Environmental groups were annoyed by the news, saying that buying a superjumbo for private use was like "buying a filthy coal-fired power station just to use to charge up your mobile phone."

love it...
