A lot less than $50k I can tell you that.
My wife has her own star named after her.
Go here: http://www.starregistry.com/
Packages range from $54 and up. That's the Custome package. The Ultimate package costs $139.

As many others above have said, save your money. There are several "registries" that will take your money and "name" a star whatever you want, but they all sell the same stars! The truth is that NOONE can name a star. The International Astronomical Union is the only group that can name celestial objects (by international treaty) and they don't name stars, they only assign them designations (a string of numbers). I work in a planetarium, and I have heard countless horror stories from other planetarians who have had to tell patrons "I'm sorry, but the star you named after your dead child isn't really yours, and doesn't really have that name. You were scammed." Most of us who work in the planetarium field HATE these registries. Another colleague of mine was asked to point out a star someone had "named" - they gave him the star chart. The star was actually added to the chart with a pen! Either the star was so faint that it didn't appear on the original chart, or they made it up. Either way, that's deceptive marketing practice. Don't give them your money!

about 60$. I bought a star for one of my boyfriends awhile ago and it was a pretty decent sized star. You could see it without a telescope!

about $50 I think but save your money for a better gift - their star registry is only official to that company not with NASA or anything else...so whats the point?
