The acceleration of gravity "on" Jupiter is 24.79 m/s². This compares with gravitational acceleration of 9.807 m/s² on Earth. So Jupiter's gravity is (24.79/9.807) = 2.528 times Earth's gravity.

On Earth, 1 kg of mass weighs 2.20462 pounds. So our 185-kg object weighs (185 * 2.20462) = 407.8547 pounds on Earth.

The same mass will weigh (407.8547 * 2.528) = 1,031.06 pounds on Jupiter.

It will cost roughly 3.1416 Gazillion Buck$ to get it there.
