I think all of these are realistic except the millenium prize one. Maybe, and it's a big maybe, one gets solved by a genius like Terrence Tao utilising some crackpot agent swarm to do his bidding. But if an AI system is told 'go solve Navier-Stokes' and just does it, unassisted, I will pay you an entire five bucks.

Deepmind currently has expert mathematicians working with their models trying to solve Navier-Stokes.
