FUN MONEY: This Saudi Prince Bought Plane Tickets For His 80 Falcons
The practice of ‘falconry’ has been described as an “ancient tradition” for the “privileged few” in areas like Saudi Arabia, but taking even one pet bird on a plane trip is nek level filthy wealth. I mean, the creatures fly themselves, right?
Redditor lensoo shared this bizarre photo of an airplane cabin, saying;
“my captain friend sent me this photo” – “Saudi prince bought ticket for his 80 hawks.”
Take a squizz at his bonkers pic:

While many people around the world struggle to meet basic health and hygiene needs, these Falcons have got it sweet.
The Falcons themselves fetch anywhere between $10,000AUD to $400K AUD+ for the elite pedigrees, so it’s fair to say these birds are pretty close to the Princes’ heart.
As Mashable points out, someone shared this post to Reddit four years ago, showing a very similar situation. It’s unknown if this is the same cashed up dude:
I guess this is what happens when people have too much money.
