How much money do you think it would cost to prolong life by 2040-2070
In today's' equivalent amount, and it's purely hypothetical

... a 'magic pill' that could reverse aging to the physical equivalent of 14 years of age. They determined an appropriate amount to charge for the pill would be $100,000. I thought that a bit low.

Do you mean the costs needed to discover a cure/treatment or the cost of buying it from the individual's perspective once it's already on the market? The latter is unpredictable. Do we even know if we're talking about a pharmaceutical treatment or something else? As for the former, here's a quotation: "What people don't realize is that with enough research money properly focused -- $50 billion dollars, some experts say -- human aging and the terror of disease can likely be halted. With a trillion dollars (the world's wealth is over $200 trillion), human death can be halted in 10 years time."
