that's about right
or you can go non-visa on ccbill for free to start and still get some decent signups. I think it's safe to say that most americans have both visa and mastercard and will use MC if visa isn't available. there are third party systems that do not charge visa fees if you know who to ask (I'm not telling so don't ask me).
always a nice option but not aboslutely needed to start with. ccbill will give you everything you need for free.

Design per paysite - $1000-2500 (depending on who you use)

or do it yourself for free if you have basic photoshop skills.

Content per paysite - $5000-25,000 (depending on what type, whether or not its exclusive, video/pic, plugins, etc.)

$2000 of cheap content will get you a site with more content than probably 90% of the sites on the web. the site won't rebill very well however with so little content.

Advertising tools (FHG's, banners, buttons, etc.) - $ few K atleast.

again it depends if he can do any of this himself.

Advertising costs - $ totally up to you
WAY more than $7600...

monthly server fees and a couple/few grand in content is really all that's needed for a bare bones startup. forget about getting any decent affiliates like that (which is the thread title) however it can be pretty cheap to start up a site.
it'd cost a ton more to get it to a point that it would attract affiliates in most instances, although some of these non-nude sites with exclusive content are little more than the example I've given above with an amateur 18 year old model doing a shoot for $200/day.
