Likely in the billions. And it gets better: the problem is not the money, it's acquiring the technology necessary for you to launch. Most of the technologies that you need are owned by NASA and other US Government organisations, and acquiring them may be a pain in the backside. Also, there's the issue of making it sustainable to live on the Moon.

On the flipside, if this works you will have a really safe fallout shelter. I don't think any country will even put the effort into nuking the moon if they will only strike a few people...
