That's a crazy good deal. As long as the 500k doesn't get completely wiped out someone with a family likely comes out ahead on health-care costs alone (though I understand the tax implications of US citizens abroad are complicated).

There is an investment version where the cost is only 250000 EUR, but there's more due diligence and paperwork required. You're essentially buying citizenship for the opportunity cost of those funds not making returns in more aggressive investment vehicles for several years.
