Where the bloop do you get those figures from?

Sure, if you buy the *exclusive* rights to some professional photography 
I guess you may end up with such numbers. Hint: Don't do that; 
Non-exclusive licenses to use an image with limited resolution will do, 
and will leave you with a price tag close to what I guess your diabolo 
might have costed.
