How Much It Would Cost To Build A Real Life 'Jurassic Park'

It makes sense why money is always on Claire's (Bryce Dallas Howard) mind in 'Jurassic World'...

Operating a dinosaur park isn't cheap. According to this video, a re-creation of the Jurassic World theme park would boast a price tag of exactly $23,432,400,000, and would require $11,907,000,000 in annual fees to maintain.

The biggest cost would be the purchase of two islands. There's the one to house the dinos, Isla Nublar and, then Isla Sorna, where the dinosaurs are raised.

Both of these islands are off the coast of Costa Rica. The video used Costa Rica real estate websites to estimate that both islands combined are worth a grand total of $10,000,000,000. Meanwhile, the park would have to employ an array of scientists, caretakers, and lawyers (who probably have a lot on their plate after every dinosaur attack).
