I remember that a guy invents or discover a way to live forever, maybe by a serum that gets injected into people. He meets rich, ultra rich people and sells them the solution at the price of "half their fortune because they will have another life to make up the rest of their money".
Couldn't see it, only saw the tv ads for it and that's it but have been wanting to see it since then.
Was in late 80's possibly 90s or maybe even early 2000, honestly don't remember when.

In 1978, a narcissistic fading actress Madeline Ashton performs in a Broadway musical. She invites long-time frenemy, the meek aspiring writer Helen Sharp, backstage along with Helen's fiancé, famed plastic surgeon Ernest Menville. Smitten with Madeline, Ernest breaks off his engagement with Helen to marry Madeline. Seven years later, a lonely, obese, depressed, and destitute Helen is committed to a psychiatric hospital where she obsesses over taking revenge against Madeline.
Another seven years later, Madeline and Ernest live an opulent but miserable life in Beverly Hills: Madeline is depressed about her age and withering beauty and Ernest, now an alcoholic, has been reduced to working as a reconstructive mortician. After receiving an invitation to a party celebrating Helen's new book, Madeline rushes for beauty treatments. Desperate to look younger, Madeline is given the business card of Lisle Von Rhuman, a mysterious, wealthy socialite who specializes in rejuvenation.
Madeline and Ernest attend Helen's party and discover that Helen is now slim, glamorous and youthful despite being fifty years old. Jealous of Helen's appearance, Madeline observes as Helen tells Ernest that she blames Madeline for his career decline. Madeline later visits her young lover but discovers he is with a woman of his own age. Despondent, Madeline drives to Lisle's mansion. The youthful Lisle claims to be seventy-one years old and offers Madeline a potion that promises eternal life and youth. Madeline drinks the potion, which reverses her age, restoring her beauty, but Lisle warns her that she must disappear from the public eye after ten years, to avoid suspicion of her immortality, and treat her body well.
It goes downhill for the characters after that - in a satirical look at the vanity of Hollywood and the TV industry, and society's obsession/infatuation with youth.
The actual cost is never stated, but it involves a lot of zero on Madeleine's check, and Lisle states the cost depends on the subject.
Ah, the sordid topic of coin. I'm afraid it's not so simple. The cost, you see, is different for everyone.
