Without looking it up, I thought NZ owned 4 and leased 4 of the 744's when they were operating all 8.
Actually, checking Air Fleets

Five use NZ's Boeing suffix of 19 (747-419 - NBS - stored, NBT, NBU, NBV, NBW) and the other three (SUH, SUI and SUJ) came to NZ from elsewhere although not sure whether they are leased as you can see from below, only NBW is listed as leased.
