500 million dollars in 1980 (just before his death) would be worth 1.3 billion at current prices in straight dollar value, so he'd be just under the cut, but there are other issues to take into account such as the overall growth in the economy and the performance of competitors when making comparisons. He didn't do so bad!
@kyzoom So do I but to admire the success he got. In Germany people there are more of a pork eating nation. In America we are a beef eating nation. China and India are more of a rice eating nation. State of Texas a steak eating state.
