   Talking in 2006 dollars.   
      
   Milton Hershey spent money on lifestyle, house, whatever and   
   had $60,000,000 to endow Hershey School.   
      
   What would $60 million in Hershey's day be worth in 2006?   
      
   Hershey was poor compared to Standard Oil, US Steel,   
   the rairoad magnates.   
   Oil shipping was Getty, Onasis and Hondroulis' wealth.   
      
   What would their 1880 to 1920 wealth be worth in 2006 dollars.   
      
   What would Buffet and Gates be worth in 1900 dollars?   
      
   Just curious
