You don't have to pay Apple's prices to upgrade RAM, you can buy the chips yourself. The process to get to the ram slots is somewhat involved [youtube.com], but you can also just have Apple install the ram you bring them.
The thing is the RAM the iMac Pro uses is not cheap (2666MHz DDR4 ECC / PC4-21300), so you'll be paying a lot regardless of the path you take. For instance an iFixit RAM upgrade kit to 128GB is $2,000.00 [ifixit.com]. To reach 265GB you'll need four 64GB memory chips... and probably best not to use the cheapest on
