How much is the 6 million dollar dog, if we account for inflation
In dog dollars or human dollars?
The Six Million Dollar Man first aired in March, 1973.
The online inflation calculator says that's equivalent to $43,732,794.46 in December, 2024 dollars.
Now the question becomes does $1 human = $7 dog, or is it $1 dog = $7 human?
Don't feel bad. It's hard. Trying to figure out those mathematical translations is sure to give you a RUFF time.
I feel like the cost would come from the quantity of cybernetics and time to install them. So I imagine if the dog was about 14% the size of the Six Million Dollar man it'd work out to be about the same.
And is it the 7 to 1 ratio so often associated with dogs and humans?
Gotta be up there. Over 6 million at least if I had to guess.
Math checks out.
