As use of indicating someone or something [for vs to]

2) Tickets cost $10 each and to some people that's a lot of money.
3) Fortunately for him, he can swim.
4) Your answer is very helpful to me.

I'd like to know to what extent both prepositions 'for' and 'to' are exchangeable each other in a phrase indicating someone or something.
In my examples, can I use either 'for' or 'to' at will?
Thank you in advance for your help.
