Michael Corleone was a billionaire in Godfather 3

$600,000,000 in 1979 would be $2,118,958,677.69 in 2020.

And Mike had that money BEFORE the Immobiliare Deal even went through. No telling how much money he had later.

 

Now that's gangsta.

 

Think about where vito was when he started to where michael took the family

 

Mike is the most successful gangster in movie history. As far as we know he never got knocked and in GF III he dies at a very late stage fairly naturally.

 

The Immobiliare deal was a scam and Michael died alone and not particularly wealthy

 

There is no Godfather 3.

 

Michael was buying the vatican's share for 600m. He owned the majority already by that time. Either way he was loaded

 

Who is the equivalent of michael corleone in real life?

 

Al Capone

 

To their deathbed

 

Can't acknowledge this movie

 

Vito died a happy man, playing with his grandson.

Mike died all alone, miserable with no family around.

 

Al Pacino's performance as Michael Coreleone is top 5 DOA.

 

It's even more impressive considering the fact that money really started going downhill in the 80s. Economists can cite whatever bullshyt indexes and inflation calculators they want, a million dollars in 1980 would have made you a wealthy man even in tier 1 cities, able to afford limos and country club memberships. But by the time the 2000s rolled around, a million just makes you comfortably poor.

 

Where? In Manhattan? 1M, in 2000, made you very comfortably middle class rich. Hell it still does today.
