I was interested to see how expensive a subsea cable was, but most of the projects are private and not disclosed and the internet is full of varying estimates. A comparable cable - MAREA (Spain to US) cost about $165M-$400M for over 4000 miles of 200 terabits per second, Now used by AWS, Facebook, and Microsoft.
That's about $185-400 per GBit (I think).
