Taobao (an auction site similar to eBay)) is owned and run by the Chinese giant Alibaba and has sold two Boeing 747 wide-body jet airliners to a logistics company. According to CNN , the Chinese company SF Express bought the jets for a combined total of more than 320 million yuan (£36.4 million). (Image: VCG/Getty)Boeing has ceased production of passenger variants of the 747 although it is continuing to produce cargo versions for the next few years. However, it still doesn't compare to the time Roman Abramovic bought a £110 million "Gigayacht" luxury boat off eBay .
