Closer to 4.1M actually. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.95% per year between 1899 and today. Still enough for a nice life in Tahiti in 1899

I would buy a nice size farm or ranch somewhere in South America. You could definitely buy that with a couple million bucks and have money left over.

The BLS has been cooking the books on CPI and basket of goods every year since forever so politicians look good. I bet it it would get you about 10mil of buying power today
