If it’s a half hour job, 5 planes x $200/hr (conservatively high) x 1/2 hour = maybe $500… And very likely by the company that owns them to get people to talk about it.
Actually a really cheap ad in that case. I’d rather something funny in the sky than yet another annoying ad (costing way more wasted money) on TV…
Skytyping can cost more than regular skywriting, starting at $25,000. Skytyping uses five planes instead of one, but it’s a more accurate form of aerial advertising that ensures legibility.
A personal skywriting message can cost upwards of $6,000–$8,000, depending on where the few skywriting planes are located at the time you want the message written.
Skywriting rates are generally charged per flight hour. A one-hour flight over a major city can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000.
Again, very few non fuck you money are spending 5k at the low end on deeze nuts. Conservativly high 🤦♂️
You’re not wrong, but think of the number of people this brought joy to.
Is it wasteful? Sure. Is it a bit of a face slap to people living paycheck to paycheck, assuming they’re even that well off? Sure. But is it a net negative? Who can say? Unlike most fuck-you-money splurges, this one probably at least lightened some people’s days for a moment, and that’s not nothing.
A millionaire spending fuck you money to sky type deez nuts? Weird.

You realize Google is a thing, correct?
