Me thinks this article uses some strange information math:
In 1923, Elizabeth loaned her son $800 – the equivalent of around $14,000…
He used that money to build a home for the equivalent of $7k and sold it for a profit. You can’t build a garage for $7k today, let alone a home.

Saved you a click: he was the top performer at the dick sucking factory and ge got away with more overtime fraud than the NYPD so he made like $300,000 a year. His son grew up to have an even sadder life where he had to pay others just to be within 20 meters of him.
