wasn't whole world of goo budget 110k? i mean not those 10k used as "development costs", but whole project budget(PR, advertising, stands, travel expenses and so on).

The whole budget was just over $100k. I'm not sure where wikipedia got $10k from

If Channel Surfing estimates are anywhere near accurate, I'm pretty sure the guys from 2D Boy are millionaires now, or will be shortly. They're still raking in about $100,000 a month from NA sales alone.

Aren't most WiiWare games $7-$15?

More like $5-10: only World of Goo and My Life as a King are $15.
