Here in the US, choppers alone would be about $10 million. And then there's the rest of the fleet. Kudos to the man!

Amazing operation, credit to the young fella who runs it! He must have compromising photos of his bank manager though… 😂
Unbelievable operation, and a 1000 cows thrown in for good measure!! Some business man. Cracking video Cian
The Opportunities available to lads out there is amazing
