$50M. This better employ a ton of workers.
As for the net itself, I think it's fruitless. A determined suicidal person won't be deterred from finding a way to jump - if they just want to die, the Bay Bridge is only a few miles away; if they think there's something glorious about dying off the "Golden Gate" then they'll find a way anyways.
I used to be disgusted by the argument against a net because it would "detract from the look of the GGB." Now, I agree with it.
