Somewhere between $500K and $2M for an mRNA vax is my guesstimate. You don't have to hypothesize about what the rich might do, though. The co-founder of GitLab was diagnosed with osteosarcoma a few years ago. He relapsed, leaving him without any standard of care treatments. He's spent the last couple of years throwing loads of time, effort, and of course money at lots of experimental treatments: https://osteosarc.com/ -- even released all the data gathered on his tumor over timepoints.
