Last year I met a guy who had done this.
Running 7 marathons in 7 days is not that difficult. Paying $60,000 and polluting the planed with endless flights is a whole other story.
For $60,000 you can easily travel the world for a year and have money over.
This is just my opinion, but the idea of paying $60,000 for the privilege of sleeping on an airplane while seeing none of the world you're flying over only to land, get bussed to a venue to run ten 2.62 mile laps in a non-sanctioned "marathon" and get back on the plane often without having even enough time to shower afterwards might be the dumbest, most hey-look-at-me egotistical event in running.
