Cruise/Holmes family fleet?
Tom Cruise is said to be a pilot and own 3 planes, one of which is a Gulfstream. He is also said to be making a present to his bride Katie Holmes, of another Gulfstream. The plane is supposed to have a custom interior, and Tom is supposed to hire a pilot to fly her.
There are the news about airlines ordering planes to be delivered in 2011 et cetera. How long does it take to build a private plane?
Which (private) family has the largest number of members owning personal customized planes?

Reminds me of a discussion at Andrews between PM John Major (just arrived in a VC-10 with UK Secretary for Transport, among others) and President George Bush Mk 1, whose 747 was standing alongside.
JM to Pres : Well, Mr President, I must say I am impressed with your plane.
Secretary of Transport to JM : "Well, Prime Minister, I must introduce you to Richard Branson. he's got about 12 of them ....."

When Tom was with Nicole, they had a Gulfstream (G3 I think) that used to spend a lot of it's time parked on the ramp at LTN.
I believe he also used to fly a Baron out of Denham - I remember hearing a story (perhaps apocryphal) that he once got lost and busted the Heathrow Class A trying to find his way back to the field - not very "Top Gun"
As for the "family" with the largest private fleet, I would hazard a guess at the Sultan of Brunei.

I would also a hazid guess that the sultan of Brunei. My memories from when I was there back in September were the following
1 x Gulfstream
1 x A340-300
1 x B747-400?
1 x 767-200
Anyway take me any further
