It would cost $23,432,400,000 to build a real 'Jurassic Park' and would require $11,907,000,000 in annual fees to maintain it.

One of the underlying motives in "Jurassic World" is the need to create a profitable dinosaur park. This is what pushes the creation of dangerous hybrid dinosaur Indominus Rex.

Now, it makes sense why money is always on Claire's (Bryce Dallas Howard) mind: Operating a dinosaur park isn't cheap.According to an elaborately-researched video, a re-creation of the Jurassic World theme park would boast a price tag of exactly $23,432,400,000, and would require $11,907,000,000 in annual fees to maintain.

The video below  uses real life examples to figure out how much a dinosaur park would cost. 

According to the above video, the biggest cost would be the purchase of two islands.
There's the one to house the dinos, Isla Nublar:

And, then Isla Sorna, where the dinosaurs are raised:

Both of these islands are off the coast of Costa Rica. The video used Costa Rica real estate websites to estimate that both islands combined are worth a grand total of $10,000,000,000.

Meanwhile, the park would have to employ an array of scientists, caretakers, and lawyers (who probably have a lot on their plate after every dinosaur attack).

When you take into account food, transportation to and from the island, as well as hotel costs and souvenirs, that sounds doable, but still expensive. Of course, that all assumes that there is no profit margin, and it’s just to cover the operating cost of Jurassic Park, and assumes the island and everything on it has been paid in full.
