Now adjust for inflation. The comic was published in 1989. $1 then is $2.48 today. That’s a cumulative price increase of 148.22%, or an average price increase of 2.71% per year for 34 years. It is 4:30am, I am on a shuttle bus, and I am not showing any signs of going to sleep anytime soon.

He rounded down the number for some reason. This is how much money Scrooge McDuck has, $315,576,000,000,000,000. That is with leap years included.

Inflation is likely higher, since McDuck has way more of the cake than realistic.
