Cost of having your own runway?

I just built an air strip in the shape of an X in all four of the cardinal directions, the run ways are 5,000 feet long with a 500 feet circular turnaround on each end, by 250 feet wide,to have room for plans to taxi and refuel, 18 inches thick reinforced concrete with 9 inches of black top, along with the landing lights and such i paid 2.8 million for mine and it's not open to the public, just the few guys and gals i know who fly too.

Unless this is a WW2 surplus airfield or you're in the concrete/asphalt business, I am going to assume this is BS. Seems like a lot of wasted material, and no one builds 90° perpendicular runways anymore. Heck, the only reason the U.S. Government did is because they didn't have enough time to conduct wind rose analysis.
