Google says that the Apollo program cost about $135 billion when corrected for inflation (for 2005). Wikipedia says Bill Gates was the wealthiest man in the world, with a net worth of $51 billion, as of September, 2005. So, it would appear that the answer would be no. However, a group of very wealthy people working together, or a decent-sized corporation could probably pull it off.
