So there's been this guy who's already spent 450,000 yen on maxing out Scathach in Fate/Grand Order, the mobile Type-Moon title set in the Fate universe (Fate/stay night, Fate/hollow ataraxia, et cetera.)

He also runs a livestream where he was streaming some of this. (note: this is a ban spree after people started to flood and calling him the King of P2W and stuff like that.)

Basically, the bottom line is that the game uses a 'gacha' system - aka those capsule toy machines - he had to roll 5 copies of the same card which is estimated to be about 0.65% drop rate. You need to fuse the same card to gain a level, and it powers up your super for combat.
He had only hit 4/5 by spending that money ingame, so he asked his stream followers to lend him money to get the final level since he appears to have already spent his entire life savings.
Someone lent him 500,000 yen yesterday. He's gonna try and do it.
(He stole money from his parents before running away to an internet cafe, supposedly, on top of this.)
For context, 500,000 yen is about 4,100 USD. The total spent would be about 7,800 USD.
I guess waifus really rake in the money.
