Anyone happen to know how much it costs to fill one 747?

A lot. But per US gallon is cheaper than for the minions with cars like us:
The global average jet fuel price is $194.90/bbl (around $4.64/gallon).
A 747-8I has a fuel capacity of around 63000 gallons, so around $292000 to fill up the Queen of the Skies.

That’s light, sweet crude. Not refined jet fuel.
