Infographic: How Much Would It Cost To Be 'James Bond'

It’s less than a month till the release of the latest 007 film ‘Skyfall’, and we’re pretty sure there will be tons of agent-wannabes who will be donning a tuxedo and speaking in a British accent in order to become (or pretend to be) the legendary ‘James Bond’.

Besides having dashing good looks and being a ‘cunning linguist’, 'James Bond' relies on his cool gadgets and ‘Secret Agent’ training to beat the bad guys—which, of course requires money (lots of it).

With no intention of bursting your bubble, FancyDressCostumes.co.uk has put together an infographic that takes a look at how much it would cost to become a real-life ‘James Bond’.

First, one would need to go through ‘Secret Agent’ training; $1.36 million dollars to pay for martial arts, marksmanship, piloting and surveillance hacking lessons—to name a few.

Next, Bond needs his array of gadgets and fanciful cars, which adds another $971,280 to the bill.

Lastly, to ensure that he lives in comfort (and to pay for the damages from destroying stuff)—another $3.3 million dollars will be added to the final cost.

All this adds up to a total of $5.7 million dollars—which some might say is reasonable if you compare the cost to become Batman or Iron Man.

What do you think? Are you able to fill 007’s shoes (and wallet)?
