How did you arrive at those numbers? By my calculations the spending requirements are as follows:
Silver - 400 Points = 400 x $10 = $4000
Gold - 1000 points (600 additional after being Silver) = 600 x $8 = $4800 + $4000 for silver = $8800
Plat - 2500 points (1500 additional after being gold = 1500 x $8 = $12000 + $8800 for Gold = $20800
Top Plat - 6500 points (4000 additional after being plat) = 4000 x $8 = $32000 + $20800 for Plat = $52800
I used the figures at this link:

Now there it also says that Gold and Platinum and Top Platinum get extra points per flight. So if we take that into account, the spend requirements become:
Silver - 400 Points = 400 x $10 = $4000
Gold - 1000 points (600 additional after being Silver) = 600 x $8 = $4800 + $4000 for silver = $8800
Plat - 2500 points (1500 additional after being gold = 1370 (+ 10% bonus 137 points) x $8 = $10960 + $8800 for Gold = $19760
Top Plat - 6500 points (4000 additional after being plat) = 2860 (+40% bonus 1144 points) x $8 = $22880 + $20800 for Plat = $42640
