Question

The gold bar James Bond has in Goldfinger is worth £5000 How much would that be worth today in US Dollars?

Answer 1

10,000

Answer 2

The film is from the mid 60's so working on the premise that 'inflation' (debts to banks) averages annually at a steady 7% and therefore doubles the cost / value of everything every 10 years, the bar would be worth around £80,000 today.

Approx $160,000 US

Edit ... Nice one I.B.  I couldn't find the current and old 'spot' so worked from the known basics. I didn't realise that the gold price had gone so far through the roof compared to property etc! you get my vote for the 10 points

Answer 7

If I remember correctly, that movie was made in about 1964, At that time, gold was fixed at US$35 / per troy ounce. Today's gold spot price is $964.60. Therefore, gold is worth 27.56 times what it was worth in 1964 in US dollars.

At that time, the UK pound was fixed at US$2.80, so gold in 1964 was 12.5 pounds per troy ounce. That means the bar contained exactly 400 troy ounces.  That gives us a current value of the bar of US$385,840 or about 197,900 UK pounds.

Whew!
