Hiding own space program

Question inspired by movies You only live twice and Moonraker:

I am Evil Overlord at his best:

I am super rich person with net worth of 32 billion US dollars. I already own island and I am making money also by selling space technologies to SpaceX and NASA (so I have knowledge about the tech)

Suppose, I want to get rid of all humans in Moonraker style: I will build huge space station on the orbit, get people there and then kill everyone else from the orbit.

Can I do it?

• I am willing to spend all my money I have. I am also willing to go into debt, because when I will be True Evil Overlord, current money will be gone forever. So assume I have budget around 50 billion US dollars
• I want to go to orbit as silently as possible. Preferably in a way when no one notices
• My space station has to hold at least 201 people for at least half a year (Artificial gravity is plus, but not required)
• Assume that there are already people working for me in space technology, so at least buying "rocket stuff" will not be considered weird
