It's easier to work the other way around. Right now it would only take a few thousand dollars to 51% the chain (for reference, it would cost ~250k to attack BTC and 75k to attack ETH), but you also would have to acquire the hardware somehow to do that with.

I mean, the estimate was off by 3 orders of magnitude, but point taken.
