A380 burns around 4,500 gallons of jet fuel an hour (on average-ish) so that's about $25,000/hour to operate in fuel alone.
That's where they get ya! You can buy a much more reasonable 6-8 seater luxury jet for a few hundred thousand [1] because they burn $2k-3k of fuel an hour. You can even buy an old fighter jet for $340k [2]! Cheapest operating cost there is $1k per hour.
