Based on the 117 DHS surveys the IPUMS-DHS project has processed so far, the only DHS survey that I know contains information about bridewealth is Ghana 2014.
See, for example, https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/BWSTATUS#code s_section and
https://www.idhsdata.org/idhs-action/variables/BRIDEWYN#code s_section
There are also follow up questions on why the bridewealth was not negotiated.
