Boeing has not formally released OEW figures yet for the 777-9X. Leeham.net projects it will run around 185,000kg and Aspire Aviation states that in four-classes (300 seats) the airframe was at 188,000kg at Revision E. In three classes (406 seats), it was at 164,000kg at Revision E.
The 747-8 Intercontinental in a Boeing three-class OEM configuration (467 seats) is 220,000kg. The 747-400 in a Boeing three-class OEM configuration (416 seats) is 179,000kg.

It's what was written. But note that many on a.net view Aspire Aviation's blog as "junk journalism" and view their content as worthless.
