Lockheed Martin is the builder. Check out this wiki link. It's a direct descendant of the Joint Strike Fighter.

Yes, that is an unimaginable amount of money. But, this aircraft will be used by all if not most of NATO and the costs will be shared to varying degrees.
The planes of WWI though advanced and effective for their time are mere crop dusters compared to today's air fleet. Not trying to minimize our historic and hallowed aircraft. They kept us free and proud and the new ones will too.

For some reason, the U.S. always seems to pay the biggest portion...

Here's a CLASSIC..... Year was 1957 with me as a VERY young airman on USS Saratoga leaning on a Chance-Vought F8U-1 Crusader..... the first 1000 mph (level flight) aircraft in the world!

The airplane that I have a soft spot for is the B-1B Lancer, specifically tail number 86-0140...."The Last Lancer". My dad was doing EMP testing on it for about a month back in 1990, when I was 8 years old. I got called out of school to watch it leave, and got there early enough to watch the crew go through pre-flight. That's when the crew chief came over to my dad and asked if we would like to go up in the airplane. So here I am, 8 years old, standing between the pilot and co-pilot, jaw on the floor, watching them go through their checks. If only I could have that opportunity again now that I am older, and would REALLY appreciate what I was privileged to do. I still have the squadron patch the pilot gave me off his flight suit hanging in a shadow box in my house....
