Sweet

i think you mixed different types of aircraft there

why would you put a being 747 and airbus A380

most private jets are smaller compared to those two above and i think the many reason they also kept them smaller is that can land to small airport and strips which can be private owned and advantage for those who still need to away from public

the 747 and A380 or any other big aircrafts are configured to be business jets whereas Gulfstreams, Learjets, Cessnas etc are made specifically for that

@OP - Gulfstream G650 should be on that list.

The 747 and A380 were customised by the named business men as their private jets.

we are saying the same thing but you are missing my point which is those big craft they get customised whereas the traditional private jets are made like that straight from manufacturer
