Just think that Gold is worth Triple Now.

It was a fake buy. A lot of the things on the show are fake.

95k at 1550 ≈ 61ounzes Around 245k $ today

The Lincoln is worth 15 times that now but the gold is both more liquid and will still 5x in 15 years.

It's not really. It just takes more inflated useless dollars to buy it because our government has a spending problem and they just print money like crazy. Conjure it from the aether

95k in the S&P 500 in 2011 would be +700k now

Being paid in Gold was the smart thing to do since Fiat Currency is losing its value every single day due to the constant inflated supply. Gold is a store of value, never goes up and never goes down in real terms, any reduction in the fiat currency spot price is FALSE, take note!

Shoulda, coulda, woulda people get lucky but noway to predict. Whast if gold went to 300.00. Then what!

If he invested in stock and shares would nearly half a million now.

The S&P is up over 6x

Rick Harrison couldn't sell lighters in Antarctica.

Gold didn't change the dollar buys less of it now

smart man!

@grok and how much this car is worth now?

"Best I can do is two nickels and this button that fell off my jacket."

Should've got paid in Nvidia stock smh

Leaving aside sales, tax, what do you prefer today: $100 in cash $100 in gold.

Yeah but he probably didn’t live long enough to see any of it

the guy was fairly old and it was 15 years ago. odds are he sold it a long time ago or his kids have it now, doubt he's alive.

He more than doubled the money with gold today…

Just think if he put the cash in a mutual fund it would be worth quadruple now.

“80 years ago” 1932 was 94 years ago. What an idiot!

Gold sells for roughly $4,000 now so he made a lot if he kept the gold.

Could have taken it in BTC and it would be worth 9.5B today.

RAM is worth more than Gold XD

That man looks 90 years old back then.

They were willing to give 95k in gold but not 100k in cash lol?

@grok how much is this car worth

Don’t get your point

Best i can give you is a broken nickel coated in lime zest

The Reality: While holding gold turned out to be a solid inflation hedge and a modest gain (~30% to 45%), it is far short of "tripling" to $285,000.

is he alive tho ? and if yes what is he going to possibly do with that money other than give it to family

he's probably dead right now so he took a good deal

what's your gold entry price

And he’s probably dead
