No, the Boeing 747 is not the biggest airplane currently in service. The title of the largest passenger aircraft goes to the Airbus A380, which has a greater passenger capacity and wingspan. Additionally, the Antonov An-225 Mriya, though not a passenger aircraft, was the largest cargo airplane ever built. However, the 747 remains one of the most iconic and recognized large aircraft.
It depends on the airplane you want to buy. A Boeing 747 can cost you millions of dollars.
