Remember that in America you basically serve a 20-30 year sentence before being executed and you're allowed unlimited appeals, plus the special level of security they have to use with death row prisoners. It's certainly credible that it costs that much.
However, in somewhere like China where I imagine "justice" is a little swifter I suspect the cost per execution is dramatically lower.
