Looks to be about 1.5m on each side (based on 1.8m - 30cm).

Volume of the cube:
1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 3.375m³

Density of tungsten = 19,450kg/m³

Mass of cube:
3.375m³ * 19,450kg/m³ = 65,643.75kg = 65.64375 metric ton

Price of tungsten: 6,672.78 USD/metric ton.
(Tried to find what I thought was a reputable price)

Price of the cube: 65.64375 mt * 6,672.78usd/mt = 438,026.30usd

Hope that's reasonable

I believe the cube is a lie.

(What TV studio can support 65.644 t on an area of 2.25 m²?)

It's reasonable other than the scale. Getting that much tungsten is no problem with half a million dollars. Making it into a cube would be like trying to cut steel with tools made of sharp cheddar cheese.

I would unironically be thrilled

When life gives you tungsten cubes, use it to manufacturer Scorpion rounds to take out Wraiths.

That's probably a 70T (metric) cube assuming a 5' cube. At something near US$30,000/T that's worth about $2m.
