Actually I would like the weight of such a plane plus 42 business class seats upstairs, but if I can get the empty weight then I can estimate what the total would be (it depends on the amenities the top floor pax get like IFE or overhead bins or emergency slides lol).
Are you looking to buy yourself one for you and your extended family or friends you go clubbing with?
BTW, 42 business class seats in the upper deck is so 1990s!!! You won't be very popular - your invited guests may end up flying commercial in business class instead.
[Unable to find empty weight on Boeing's web site.]
According to Wikipedia, the operating empty weight is 393,263 lbs.. But what you're looking for is MEW/MWE - Manufacturer's Empty Weight.
This could possibly be the MEW - 364,000 lbs..
