I will have to track down where I got the $141 million figure from, maybe I am remembering wrong.

The original contract for 24 aircraft was for AUS 2.9 billion, roughly U.S. $2.4 billion which works out to about U.S. $ 100 million apiece. With training and support, the price tag went up AUS 6 billion, roughly U.S. $5.1 billion which works out to about U.S. $210 million per unit.
