13. Literally enough to buy a helicopter

I just googled how much does a helicopter cost.

First hit is aerotrader.com and first helicopter with a price is a 2010 Safari for $58,500.

So they were billed enough to buy a whole helicopter and fill it with gas and likely, insure it too. Baobab May 2016 #16
