The current price of Wikipedia is:
$89,573,683,584,007,583.93

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Buying_Wikipedia


Q: Why are you selling Wikipedia?

A: Someone told us that we're mean bullies for deleting their talk page. That hurt our feelings, so we're passing on the problem to someone else.


Q: Who can buy it?

A: Anyone! Whether you're an insanely wealthy stock broker with $89,573,683,584,007,583.93 spare cash on hand or a lowly peasant with $89,573,683,584,007,583.93 spare cash on hand, we won't discriminate.


Q: What can I do once I own it?

A: Anything you want, even deleting the main page.


Q: Won't this sale rob the project of its credibility, its main asset, effectively rendering it worthless?

A: Don't worry about that


Q: Can I buy the Wikimedia Foundation, too?

A: Well... let me ask them first.


Q: Why is it so expensive?

A: Internet taxes, we think.


Q: What are you going to do with the money?

A: Very important business and philanthropic stuff, and also buy Jimmy Wales an ivory backscratcher.


The foundation wrote back, they said you can buy them for 10.29182 to the power of 10 dollars.


Q: Are the contributors included?

A: No.
