What would $6,093.24 in 1913 equal in todays economy?
Answer:
Assuming that you're talking about purchasing power, $127,988.20 based on information on the Consumer Price Index.
maybe a million
a car was $500 then I think
so times 20 anyway
You can't really solve this exactly without some kind of interest rate to go by from 1913 to today. For arguments sake, the value of $6093.24 invested at 10% interest for 94 years is
6093.24
10%
94
$47,398,073.41 = 6093.24(1+0.1)^94
The interest rate and the compound rate are the key. This estimate is assuming it is compounded annually at 10%. Changes in this will ultimately yield different results.
I think the first answer the better tuned to the question, though the second was great. I don't think that the asker was asking what that much would be if it was INVESTED in 1913, but what would its equivalent be allowing for inflation and such. I think it would be right around 20 times, or about $122,000.
In 1913 $20 was worth/convertible into 1 ounce of Gold.

Currently Gold is valued at: $666.70 per ounce:

$$$203,118.16 rounded of to the nearest cent.
