The "Y2K bug" cost an estimated US$300 billion in remedial work, having been in production for ~40 years.

Corollary: The most expensive bugs to fix are the oldest bugs.

Hm, Y2K issues were the result of conscious design trade-offs, not bugs. (Nobody ever looked back and said: oops, we accidentally left the century off of our dates.)
