I'm pretty sure they pay at least $200 for production. It's a small run, not hundreds of thousands to be made.
Of those ~10,000 devices, take $200 for hardware development and $200 for the software development and there you are at $600.
Those who support it invest in freedom instead of Apple's shareholders ;)
