‘The $64,000 question:’

It is more like the $500 million dollar question. Not sure how much money was stashed in the storage locker but it was a lot.

“It is more like the $500 million dollar question”

There was a lot of money in that storage locker. That’s what gets these guys in the business. This guy named El Chapo who heads the Sinaloa cartel is a Forbes listed billionaire.

How much money? My spouse and I were wondering the same. I decided to put the math to it. First the assumptions. Skyler said they are mixed bills. So assumption No. 1 is first that these are an arbitrary mix of 40% $20's, 20% $50's, and 40% $100's.

Now the dimensions Each bill is 2.61" (.2175 ft) width X 6.14" (.511 ft)length X .0043" (.00035 ft.) thickness. That means each bill consumes .00000398 cuft.

Now the stack. I noticed that they are using 4 pallets as a square. Since each pallet is 4' X 4', and about 4' tall, this estimates the stack of cash to be about 256 cubic feet.

Divide 256 cubic feet by .00000398 cubic feet per bill means that there are 64,321,608 individual bills.

Now using the 40/20/40 assumption........ 25,728,643 $20 bills equals $514,572,860. 12,864,321 $50 bills equals $643,216,080. 25,728,643 $100 bills $2,572,964,300. Grand total...... $3,730,753,240. Saul better get busy trying to laundry 3.7 billion dollars.

Now some adjustments though..... Air space between bills is obviously going to make this number smaller, but I'd guess Heisenbergs got easily 1 or 2 billion in that stack if the denomination ratios are close.

Almost $80 million.
