Reports are its in the $15-20M range.
It was estimated at $1.5M back when they thought he breached it 5 times, but in the sentencing it was revealed he breached it 60 times putting the total cost to the Astros at about $15M.

Yes...That's what the M means.
Quote:
Correa intruded again the day before the June draft, revisiting the Astros' preferentially ranked list of draft prospects and also viewing the Astros' page for the Cardinals, their main scouting page and their notes as it related to trade discussions with the Cardinals.
On the third and final day of the draft, Correa filtered through the Astros' rankings of still-available players and reports on two players in particular: Washington State third baseman Adam Nelubowich, whom the Astros drafted in the 18th round, and University of Texas second baseman Erich Weiss, whom the Pittsburgh Pirates took in the 11th round.
The document also shows Correa before the draft accessed private medical records the Astros had collected for Gonzales and two first basemen whom the Astros later drafted, Conrad Gregor (fourth round) and Chase McDonald (12th round).
