#2He spent a helluva lot more than 100k. That's just the airplane, sitting at an airfield. It had to be moved to his property. Mucho dinero...

I read that as $100k for the plane and $120k to decommission/dismantle and tow it to his property. So 220k total for a hair over 1k sqft. For reference a quick search says that would run you ~300k today in that town and the one property I could find listed with pricing back to the 90's indicates it probably would have been about $100k then.

Probably best to add up the numbers in the article. $100k to purchase, $20k to transport, and $15k to renovate.
