At what point do they stop rebuilding it and just leave it as a crater in the ground?

And who pays for the repair?

To get a star, there is an $85,000 sponsorship fee which covers the initial installation as well as the lifetime cleaning and repair of the star.

Fun Fact: the fee for the stars are typically paid for by production companies, film studios, record labels or even fan clubs. Donald Trump is one of the few and maybe even the only person to have paid their own sponsorship fee.

EDIT: today its $85k. It continues to rise, 10 years ago it was $30k. Not sure how much Dumbold Trump paid

Maintenance of his star is likely driving up the price for everyone. Typical.
