Google founders' airplane hits turbulence
Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page apparently are quarrelling over how to pony up the Boeing 767-200 jet that they purchased last year.
The duo had hired famed airplane interior designer Leslie Jennings to reconfigure the 180 seat passenger jet into a 50 passenger sky palace. But according to the Wall Street Journal that's where the harmony ended.
The paper claims that the two couldn't agree over the size of the bed that each would get, and that Google chief executive Eric Schmidt in the end had to interfere. There also was a request to add hammocks that would be hanging from the ceiling.
In the end Jennings got fired. He responded with a $200,000 lien against the plane for unpaid services. Now the whole thing is before a judge and all the evidence is there for the world to see and enjoy.
The Google founders last year purchased a Boeing 767-200 like this one that previously served for Qantas.
