He appeared on the BBC News channel (here in the UK) earlier this afternoon and it was suggested, though not confirmed, to be in the dozens of millions (£ not $).
I don't know if they edited the article, but right now it says "dozens of millions of pounds", which would mean at least £24 million, or roughly $36 million.
"Dozens of millions of pounds" => > 24M
My guess is nobody is being made a multi-millionare off this. But I'm not playing a tiny violen, getting acquihired is actually rare/hard to do so good job to them and the team.
