Wow, $43 per year, that's not cheap! It's likely the price AWS pays to acquire a single new IP at the current market price.

Three years ago, they had about just over 100 Million IPv4 addresses, which at the estimated market price back then, would have been worth ~$2.5 billion worth of IPv4 addresses! https://toonk.io/aws-and-their-billions-in-ipv4-addresses/in...

AWS has been the most active buyer of IPv4 addresses over the last few years, so it's probably quite a bit more now. And in the AWS blog they mentioned "the cost to acquire a single public IPv4 address has risen more than 300% over the past 5 years. "

Should have bought some IPv4 in 2014 or so, would have been a great investment. Back then it was about $11 or so per IP.
