From the article:

CBS reports that the AMOS-6 satellite lost in the explosion was valued at $195 million. The satellite was going to be used by Facebook to provide internet services from space. Because the incident occurred during refueling rather than ignition, Space News reports that the losses will not be covered by launch insurance.
They can afford it...
