I comment as a professional academic librarian. I was the cochair of princeton's collection development committee on electronic resources from the day it started.
The typical budget today for e-resources for a major university is on the order of three to six million dollars a year, mainly for science journals and databases. The most expensive subscriptions to the works of a single publisher can be over one million dollars, and there are individual databases in the fifty to one hundred-thousand dollar range. A typical budget for a good undergraduate college might be one million; it will not have the most expensive journals.
