A quick calculation shows that changing a username inRoblox802 times would cost the player just over $8,000, as each bundle of 1,000 Robux is currently priced at $9.99.

One player commented on the same Reddit thread, pointing out that they could have bought four RTX 5090s instead of spending all that money on Robux. Others compared the cost of buying 802,000 Robux to the prices of some cars, putting the expense into perspective.
