I am sure its pretty steep. Where I live there are three local krewes and I think the estimated cost is north of $50k. Something like Endymion.. I would think a few hundred thousand.

I was told twenty plus years ago that King Gabriel in Lafayette was $90-110k
the king’s costumes are all custom and handmaid and are $20+k
there are fees, photographers, transportation, parties, gifts, the ball costs etc

I'm sure the price has gone up. About 7 years I was woman with a daughter around 7 years old. Her ex husband family knew Ed Nunez. Her ex MiL put a $25K deposit for her granddaughter (woman daughter) to be Queen of Endymion the year she turns 18. Another $25K was due the year before the parade rides. I asked the woman what happens if ex MiL dies before that. She said her ex MiL had it in her will to owe the remaining $25K to Endymion. With 2021 Mardi Gras cancelled everything got pushed back a year. So all in for the woman ex MiL was $50K about 7 years ago.

Endymion covers all costs for the King. It’s a lottery at the coronation. Everyone who’s been a member for, I believe three years, can enter the lottery.
The Queen picks the king and an alternate and they announce the King as soon as it’s picked. I do not believe they announced the alternate, but we were at the Queen’s table and it was very far from the stage.
I believe he also gets special throws and a few other bennies. His krewe dues is what it costs, nothing else.
The Queen is a different story. That’s a lot of cash.

And that’s not including the dress, the crown, the Queen’s party, the extravaganza tickets for family and friends. Those are 375 a piece, and this year’s Queen’s father paid for ours, and I believe several other close family members and friends.
He dropped a lot of cash, enough to buy a very nice Benz for his daughter, but she deserved this. She is a freshman at LSU and busts her arse in every thing she does, and literally lights up a room when she walks in.
I’ve known her for a quite a while as her father and we are quite close, one of my best friends, and he feels the same. Ace is a great dude who raised a great young lady.
I’ve never seen her be a “mean girl”, or act shitty to anyone. She is my “daughter from another father” and I am called uncle or papa Smurf (I’m short), lol. I couldn’t be more proud of the young lady she has become and look forward to watching her achieve so much more in her life. Yay, Queen Lily!!!

Don’t forget the several thousands required to be spent on throws
