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 $.

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
