I don't recall the exact numbers, but if IIRC, this is about the same cost as Boeing got for the Starliner debacle, and roughly twice what SpaceX got to develop Dragon.
Not saying either was an appropriate use of funds, but at least we got some tangible returns on those spends.

Oh. Now, that's interesting. Thanks.
It's actually worse. Boeing "only" got 4.2 Billion for Starliner.
Thanks.
