If you have money and want to flaunt it, mansions, limousines and yachts are no longer enough. For the super rich of Asia, owning a private jet has become the ultimate status symbol.
Executive-jet makers aiming to woo Asia's growing ranks of billionaires and multi-millionaires were out in force at the Singapore Airshow, which drew to a close over the weekend.
Brazil's Embraer had Jackie Chan's personal Legacy 650 jet -- with a unique white, red and yellow livery inspired by a mythical Chinese dragon -- flown to Singapore for the trade fair.
The Hong Kong-born martial arts movie star, who has a massive following in China, was appointed this month as the company's first ever brand ambassador.
Chan's 13-seat plane, which has a list price of $31.5 million, was one of several executive aircraft put on display by exhibitors including Canada's Bombardier and US-based Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.
Asia now has the world's second largest concentration of millionaires after the United States, with China and India producing them at a dizzying rate, according to a study by Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management and Capgemini.
