How much is 1000 points in real cash?
It's 400 points/$5 at the base ($5 is minimum purchase), with bonus points for larger purchases.

I'm going to assume we're talking about USD, just say if you meant another currency.
You can't directly buy exactly 1000 points, because you can only buy points in the bundles, and there's no 1000-point bundles (nor a combination that adds to exactly 1000). The bundles are:
400 points - $5 - 80 points per dollar
1320 points - $15 - 88 points per dollar
4600 points - $50 - 92 points per dollar
9600 points - $100 - 96 points per dollar
If we use the lowest bundle as our price guideline, 1000 points is $12.50. Larger bundles would be slightly cheaper. But, assuming you have zero points to start, there's no way to obtain >=1000 points for less than $15.
Yeesh. Just noticed that the 1000 point price is actually half the intended price. So, at lowest price, the set is a $25 buy. (after this week)

Of course, to be pedantic, I'd bet that somewhere in the EULA it explicitly says that paragon points have no cash value. Therefore 1000 points are worth the same as 100000 points, zero dollars. This is of course different from how much they cost you to obtain, but it's something worth keeping in mind if you need to factor such things into your budget.
True in the general case, but OneFrigidWitch's gold name says that's not an option for him/her. Of course, the gold name also means "assuming you have zero points to start" is not necessarily a good assumption, but hopefully it illustrates how things work.

1 Paragon Point is equal to $0.0125 USD.
Therefore, 1,000 PP * $0.0125 USD = $12.50 USD.
