People mind-blown after seeing insane cost on card transaction receipt for a Boeing 737 aircraft

We've all been in a situation where you're left bewildered and speechless after being handed a receipt, yet there's a good chance that it doesn't even begin to compare to one card transaction someone had when buying a Boeing 737 aircraft.

While the ultra wealthy all have their own private jets that can often cost thousands for a quick clean, it's highly unlikely for anyone to go out of their way to purchase their very own passenger aircraft.

These larger planes can typically seat anywhere between around 100 to over 600 passengers depending on their size, so unless you're a commercial airline or have an unusual obsession with larger flights then there's no reason why anyone would want to pick one up.

Understandably, another major barrier that most people would encounter if they did ever want to buy one of these planes is the price, and one particular mind-blowing card transaction receipt shows that in action as it totals in the millions of dollars.

As shared by u/Illustrious_Slip3984 on Reddit, a photo of a card receipt from AeroThrust's aircraft sales division shows a total transaction cost of $8,229,674.80, which is probably more than you've ever seen before on a small bit of paper.

Often you'll stumble across lavish restaurant bills where people have forked out hundreds of thousands of dollars for the most expensive bottles of alcohol on the menu, but seeing figures in the millions on a receipt is relatively unheard of — especially when the thing being bought is a commercial plane.

Looking at the receipt you can see that the plane was purchased all the way back in May 2014, making the equivalent total in today's money be roughly $11,262,406.74 when accounting for inflation.

Additionally, the total cost itself is broken down into four sections, with the main Boeing 737 plane obviously taking up the majority of the value at $7,900,235, alongside taxes, admin costs, and a PRC fee which make up the rest of the staggering figure.

AeroThrust was even kind enough to add a 'fly safely' message at the bottom of the receipt, and you'd certainly hope that everything went to plan if you'd just forked up that amount of money.

"1% cash back tho," jokes one user in the comments below the post, and that would definitely be a good idea if you were able to get it on a transaction as large as this.

If you were to do that you'd be entitled to $82,296.75, which is probably enough to either pay for a single trip's fuel costs, or even to pay a pilot for anywhere between a couple of months to an entire year.

Others have poked fun that there's no tip on the receipt, but adding a 20% service charge on top of the tens of thousands of dollars spent on admin fees probably wouldn't leave the buyer a happy customer.
