How on Earth did George Washington have over $580 Million dollars? In 1797 dollars too, I don't even know how to calculate that in 2017 $.

I guess it was merely $525 million. Source: google. Still: how?!pic.twitter.com/dGyzJeJsEV

Seems to come from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States_by_net_worth …, it's inflation-adjusted, but still, that's pretty stacked. Funny he's on the $1

Ah, so maybe those are already inflation adjusted prices. I wonder what Washington's pre-adjusted net worth was? ^_^
-
That half a billion is 'adjust by percentage of total GDP' which is frankly mendacious.
-
Haha, yeah. $780,000 for George Washington is not far fetched at least?
-
Which is apparently about $17-18 million modern, without shenanigans. Though comparing wealth across centuries is always dodgy
