There appears to be a bookshelf at the top of the ladder.

The first version shows a center staircase. I thought this version of the 747 had moved the staircase off-center. Looks like something from the 1980s they found in a file updated with flat-screen monitors.
I guess it just shows money and taste don’t necessarily overlap.

747’s have those upstairs pods; that’d be why there’s the stairway.

They’re asking about the ladder, not the stairway.

Oh, I see that now...hard to tell by the picture, but maybe someone was striving for "southwest" decor.
There are tons of Santa Fe style homes here in the desert, and it's pretty standard - for whatever reason - to have a ladder perched against the chimney or an upper landing.
(I didn't see a seatbelt on it either!)

That’s what I was thinking. Don’t the ultra-rich have any freaking taste at all?

I am in Arizona, and every other house in the wealthier parts of town looks like that. I guess it is supposed to make it look like you and your Indian tribe are going to climb up and have a war dance on top of your version of Montezuma's Castle.
I've always disliked the "adobe fortress" style of architecture. We're building a house now that is totally contemporary. My wife and I agree, there will not be so much as a Navajo rug in it.

“There appears to be a bookshelf at the top of the ladder.”
Yeah, I think you are right. The books are all bound the same like legal journals would be. That ladder should run on a track though, instead of just leaning up against the books.

A ladder is
de rigeur for any well appointed study.

What's up with that ladder? Well, duh ... it's obviously leading to the hidden loft bed behind the ugly bamboo shade.
And, because we're talking ultra-rich folks here, there are probably other amenities up there as well:
