That airplane is the A-380 for for Al Waleed, out of Jeddah Saudi Arabia. Friend of mine's Father was his chief pilot for 20 years. Very interesting group...
This is the guy who owns part of Citibank, part of EuroDisneyland and so on. Something like the 3rd richest guy in the world.
This is the Airbus A-340 (left) and Boeing B-747-400 (right) that he uses now.
This is the Boeing B-727 that he flew for many years.
If you want to see more about this guy, look here:

EDIT, updated the percentages on the companies. I believe that he now owns most of the Citigroup but the lastest from Forbes shows only 4%. I know its more but not sure how much more.
