There are also now 6 Beluga XLs with approx 30% larger cargo hold than original Beluga.
I'm curious if Airbus ever lease them out to others for transporting big things other than wings.

Other than other vehicles and containers, this is pretty cool:
> In 1999, a Beluga carried a large painting, Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix,[20] which had hung in the Louvre in Paris since 1874
There are multiple airlines specialising in that business, like Antonov Airlines, who use huge An-225(largest plane in the world by most metrics) and An-124(second or third largest by most metrics) for outsized cargo.
