LOL, I did exactly that a few weeks ago, after watching the 1960 premier of a 1/2 hour spy show, called Danger Man. Episode was about a guy who ripped off $5M in gold bullion.
$5,000,000 in 1960, has inflated to $43.7M in 2020. That was a lot of money indeed.
But I went a step further.
In 1960, gold was $36.50 an oz. Then, $5M would buy you 136,986.3 ozs of gold.
Today, gold is about $1842 an ounce. If you had those 136,986.3 ozs, they would now be worth about $252 million-a hell of lot more than that relatively paltry $43.7M.
