Eric is correct here. If you win the lotto and have lots of money, who cares. Do the AFF and it will get you ahead faster.
If you just want one jump, then do a tandem but if its something that you feel may continue then the AFF will get you to your license sooner than anything else.
The reason the AFF costs more is that you jump out with your own parachute but also have two instructors hanging on to you. They stay with you through-out freefall and when you pull your main they both release and you land on your own. If there is a malfunction they stay with you until your reserve is out then you land. You are paying for their time and two extra spots in the airplane.
