If he invested it, it wouldn’t sound funny at all.

Well, if he invested the 200 grand wisely in 1972 he is probably living as a millionaire today, somewhere in South America, perhaps in the ‘plata’ of southern Brazil. That’s where I would have hightailed it to.

When he jumped out of that airplane 200k was worth what probably 2mil is today.

Weren’t some of the bills (or parts of them) recovered, leading authorities to believe that Cooper may not have survived the attempt? I vaguely recall hearing that.

Yup, Cheap pay for an extreme stunt.

I’ll bet that the average income in 1971 was about $8000 a year. $200k would have sounded like a huge amount.

But if he’d invested it in Microsoft, it’d be say $200 million today.
