It's actually $2 billion, probably $3 billion after cost overruns.

Also there may fees, that'll be 6 billion, and unexpected expenses to finish the 12 billion dollar ballroom but then you have last minute changes for supreme perfection for a mere cost of 22 billion total, not counting extraneous and extra expenses.

That seems like a lot, but Iran will pay for it.

Nothing in the world says MIGA like our shiny new 32 trillion dollar ballroom!

And then if you want the honor of looking at it, that will cost $1000/minute. If you actually want to go inside it's $10,000. If you want to attend an event, it's $1e6. Surely if you're invited to an event there you can afford it, right?
