The high end of the super rich may look at appearances and think that a 747-8i looks nicer than an A380. If I were in the high end of the super rich, I might lean towards a 747-8i or an A340-500. I'd be happy with a 737 BBJ MAX 7
Looks like there have been 11 deliveries of the 747-8i to VIPs versus none (?) of the A380. 12 deliveries of the 787, 13 of the 777.
