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
Me trying to take it home:
When life gives you tungsten cubes, use it to manufacturer Scorpion rounds to take out Wraiths.
I fucking love tungsten cube
That's probably a 70T (metric) cube assuming a 5' cube. At something near US$30,000/T that's worth about $2m.
I hope he doesn't have to pay for delivery
