I honestly lost track at around $45,000. I started collecting with I was 4, a lot of the Super Battle Collection figures because they were just about the only figures you could find. I started paying for my own stuff around 18. My parents gave me a choose, either play sports all year long in High School or work a job. I played sports and was a good student so they bought me just about anything I wanted as long as I kept that up. Once I hit 18, I started working for the family company and was a full time student, but I had more freedom as to what I could buy, since I could now drive. The most expensive items I've spent money would have to be the entire Movie Collection Figures. This included all the If Labs figures and Giant Ape figures, doubles of the ones that had L.E paint and doubles of quite a few that had different boxes, Dragonball included. That all cost me about $2200, nothing really came close to that, I had a few purchases over $500-600 but nothing spectacular

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

I'd say a good $1500. $400 of that in the past 6 months. I used to collect Movie Collection figures when I was younger and I recently started picking up Banpresto figures and Gashapons. I plan on selling off my Movie Collection figures throughout this year, because I have no space for them. I also have Dragon Box's 1-4, with 5 preordered, along with all the blue bricks.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

A lot less than what everyone else spent apparently.
