$100,000
$100,000 seemed unambitious, even for 1971.
shareI stuck the figure into an inflation calculator. That would be about $600K in today's dollars.
The bad news is you have houseguests. There is no good news.
Besides, better to ask for a figure and get it than to overreach and get nothing.
shareBy that calculation, Harry's pants ("At $29.50, let it hurt!") would be worth nearly $180! Wow, Harry sure likes his little luxuries...
Make tea, not war.
A $100k pay-off today is rather laughable, but my parents bought their brand new house back in 1970 for just under $30k, so it doesn't seem so cheap when I think about it.
shareWhat may even be funnier to modern audiences is that the mayor of a large city like San Francisco is wondering "how am I gonna get that much cash together"?
May I bone your kipper, Mademoiselle?
Well Scorpio lived modestly in that shack at the stadium. It was never about the money for that psychopath, he just got his kicks hurting people and taking advantage of our broken law system.
sharehahaha yeah laughable in the sense I bet you've never had a bank account with 10% of that in it. Moron.
