Have a look at the functions in bbdb-snarf.el.

You can snarf anything you like with bbdb-auto-notes-alist, which is
pretty well documented. You want something like:
(("Subject" ("\\(\\$100\\.00\\)" "\\1")))
to catch the dollar amount; catching the name depends on what the
surrounding text is and you'd have to tune the regexp appropriately.
