The math is a bit different though, since that sum was propping up Roscosmos, which is a government org with opaque accounting and already had everything in place. By contrast, at whatever price Isaacman paid, SpaceX made a clear commercial profit.
Tito flew on Richard Garriott aka Lord British (Ultima series) ticket. Afair the original ticket was $5 mil, but dotcom boom forced Richard into liquidating assets. Space Adventures charged Tito extra.
