I think the real answer is a low-ball estimate to start.

Someone probably actually looked at the costs of putting on the parade rather than just throwing out some low-ball number.

The planners decided to see how much extra they could make it cost.
Like... the soldiers must live somewhere, right?
Lets look for the most expensive place to stay and use that number.
We are using tanks, right?
Instead of picking the closest ones, we pick the ones that are as far away as possible.
And we need high security, so we hire a whole train and fill it with soldiers.
And planning everything cost money, so they can charge some extra and put in their own pockets.

Regardless of how much it costs it's still just a waste of money just to appeal to Trump's fragile ego and wanting to feel like a dictator.

What happened to all that "fiscal responsibility" stuff Republicans kept screaming about?

Yeah, much like in everything else he does, Trump wanted to profit off the American taxpayers. He thought his Mar A Lago scam would carry over.

its not a "Military Parade". its a "stroke Trumps ego" parade, while in the process having Trump say "see i care about them unlike those NFL Players! its just an ego boosting, propaganda event and that's all President dumbass knows. just an escalation of the rallies he keeps having for some reason.

Well, all parade participants have to stay in a Trump Hotel room, so that costs $50 million

Because Trump saw one in France and decided his needed to be bigger.

As for the cost, you have to pay not only for any equipment on display or flying in the air, including travel costs for said equipment to and from the parade site, but you also have to pay for security concerns. Since it will take logistics several days to fully scout out and secure the site you may have to pay various costs associated with that.
