The truth is that we don't know the total spend.
FTFA:
Congressional investigators say the disclosure only scratches the surface. One called Facebook’s discoveries thus far "the tip of the iceberg."
If the $100k really is the "tip of the iceberg", and 90% of icebergs are under water, it could be $1M paid ads for Facebook.
And that doesn't count the well documented fake news campaign for organic social sharing, which could easily be a multiple of this in spend and impact.
Since the election was decided by less than 100,000 votes, it seems plausible that this could have flipped it.
