Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor – Cost: $350 Million

Moving on to an investment that ended up paying off, let’s talk about the fighter aircraft, Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. Costing $350 million apiece, it seems like the vessel lived up to its hefty price tag. It is considered an integral part of the Global Strike Task Force and is currently unmatched by any other fighter plane.

It’s particularly adept at attacking surface targets and has the ability to cruise at supersonic speeds. The F-22 Raptor carries various weapons on board, from two 1,000-pound Joint Direct Attack Munitions to a couple of medium-range missiles.
