MoneySupermarket.com noted the $10-billion figure is six times the $1.6 billion needed to be Iron Man in last year's "Iron Man 2," to account for various upgrades in terms of hardware and billionaire-playboy lifestyle.
One-fifth PHL national budget
In the Philippines, that amount —$10,086,485,000 or PhP416,420,533,225— would be a little over a fifth of the Philippines' P2.006-trillion budget for 2013.
"Following the release of Iron Man 2 we calculated the Cost of Being
Iron Man at a staggering $1.6 billion, and since then Tony Stark's been
very busy constructing at least 36 new suits. If you thought fulfilling
your dream of being Iron Man was out of reach at $1.6 billion, it's now
six times that!" MoneySupermarket.com said.
It said the updates for "Iron Man 3" may include new armor options
such as an "offensive artillery suit, a disaster rescue suit, a stealth
suit, a heavy lifting suit and even one capable of flying in space -
handy for meeting other galactic heroes for future movie releases."
Also, the new movie shows Stark spending a fortune on a new electric
super-car and some home improvements —or even a rebuild of his Malibu
mansion.
Cost breakdown
MoneySupermarket.com's infographic showed the new suit alone would cost $110.302 million, including:
Helmet with holographic heads-up display: $54.1 million
Arc reactor nuclear power source: $36 million
Gold-titanium exoskeleton suit: $10 million
Boot-mounted repulsor jetpacks: $3.8 million
Hand-mounted stabilization and maneuvering jets: $2 million
Back- and shoulder-mounted ailerons: $2 million
Wrist-mounted antitank missile launchers: $1.5 million
Thigh-mounted flare system: $500,000
Shoulder-mounted anti-personnel guns: $400,000
Hip-mounted battery packs: $2,000
This does not even include the mind-controlled armor, the cost of which is not immediately known.
Also throw in $10 million for JARVIS, Stark's AI computer, which controls his house, workshop and components of the Iron Man suits.
Stark also has a Malibu cliffside mansion worth $25 million, and $1.464 billion in suits ranging from $0 in Mark 1 to $500 million for the Mark 7.
Throw in another $7 billion for the suits in "Iron Man 3" including the Marks 17, 33, 35, 38, 39, 40 and 42, and War machine Mark 2.
As if these were not expensive enough, factor in Stark's cars, including a 1932 Ford Flathead roadster worth $40,000, a 1967 Shelby Cobra worth $45,000, a Saleen S7 worth $550,000, an Audi R8 worth $130,000, and a Tesla Roadster worth $110,000 - as well as a Rolls Royce Phantom worth $388,000, an Audi R8 Spyder worth $152,000 and an Audi R8 e-Tron worth $250,000. — TJD, GMA News
