Another interestinng little tidbit is that, according to current real estateprices in Manhattan, it would take 42 billion dollars to purchase Central Park, although I doubt they would sell it to you even if you had that kind of cash. :)
Also, if John D Rockefeller had the same percentage of the U.S. economy today that he had when we was at his hieght, he would have a bankroll of 20 trillion dollars.
I don't live in New York, but I love it so much.
