The 50k is just one of the costs. It is what you pay the sherpas to take you up, and, hopefully back down. If you watched that video, you may have noticed the chick said she didn't see her Sherpa after camp 2(if I remember right). So, basically, he gets a check , points her uphill and then who knows if he even made the climb. Then there is about 5-10k for specialty equipment etc. On top of that you have insurance too.
Anyway, 50k is too much by itself. I could hunt my ass off in a few countries for that kind of money.
