How much would a spy satellite cost, including private launch? Would it be cheaper to use the Russian Space Agency, NASA, or some other gov't organization? How much would other types of satellites cost?
So, who wants their own satellite?

A lot, and there's no chance that they'd let you have one.
But try the ESA (not the game-related one)!

What would you use it for?

What do you think he's going to use it for? To make sure no one ever manages to give him a supprise party ever again.

Take one of those MiG-Flights and ask whether you can take a little something with you.

Kidding. Probably just a sensor sattelite will do.

But how would I launch it from a MiG?

Like an Air to Air missile, how else?
And yes, I would like my own satellite in space, it would be quite possibly the ultimate bragging rights. Example:
Random person: I just got a new car with [insert ridiculously long list of special features and such]
Me: Yeah, well I have my own satellite in space.
Random person: ...
Me: Bitch.
:D

Two ways I can think of:
a) Fire it from a Vympel R-37 (http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/aa-9.htm). That has a 50kg warhead, so don't make your satellite too heavy.
b) Not sure whether the MiG-25 can fire it, but a cruise missile should carry a heavier warhead.
Perhaps launch it from the SpaceShipOne?
