Lets say a 2k fide player paid 200k USD to a GM to train him effectively 40 hours a week for a year. What would likely be the rating of the student that paid so much by the end of year. Assume the student is 18 years old and can go to europe for many tournaments just that one year.
That question assumes that a GM is automatically a good coach. Depends on the talent of the student. Some improvement would probably come. Could be 50 pts, could be 200 pts.
First maybe evaluate the results of attending one of Jacob Aagaard's camps and go from there.

I assume that the student's rating will ultimately be somewhere in the 2000-2500 range. DEPENDING ON THEIR ABILITIES!!! All people are very different. With completely different abilities. Isn't that obvious? People are very, very different. For example, brain researchers have already (and brains have been studied relatively little so far) recorded differences in the brain fields of different people by as much as 40 times! This is a species difference! Usually in zoology, organisms that are so different are considered different biological species! And even siblings can differ greatly in intellectual abilities. For example, I once (a long time ago) conducted such an experiment. I can easily multiply any two-digit numbers in my head, with 100% accuracy. Exactly 0% error. From very simple problems, like 11 * 11 = 121, to relatively complex ones, like 14 * 19 = 266. I gave my sister the task of multiplying 10 x 10, 11 x 11, 12 x 12, 13 x 13, and so on up to 19 x 19 in her head. It's much easier than multiplying two-digit numbers, on average. She got exactly 50% of the problems wrong on the first try! But she corrected them all on the second try. And I've seen adults online who don't even know their multiplication tables! They can calculate problems like 9 x 7 = 63 on a calculator! The difference is very clear. This kind of problem correlates very well with a person's overall intellectual abilities. IQ tests are also very good for this purpose. For example, I have an IQ of 140 (measured on average over the years; results have ranged from 132 to 151). A Wikipedia table in my language told me (many years ago) that this is higher than approximately 99.5% of people. In real life, I've observed something similar my whole life. That's exactly it. What came easy to me in life, intellectually, was completely unattainable for many, no matter how hard they tried. I've seen this many, many times.
Just in case. I'm going to bed right now. It's 4:26 AM. Even if someone answers me right now, I won't answer soon (when I get some sleep).
they might drop a few points idk tho
Not me im making up a imaginary lucky kid lol
I estimate 2400.

A year might get you to 2200-2300 depending on how good you are at absorbing the training. 40 hours a week doesn't automatically equal a linear progress.
