Those are "updated" figures... i'm pretty sure they are adjusted to inflation and those 500 million are not the amount he held back then

I knew them, they were actually cool people, not all stiff and straitlaced like you see them in movies and stuff... they had parties that wouldn't quit sometimes.. I wasn't into the chamber music so much but still it was fun.. it was cool hanging with rich people...
