Huh. Based on this online calculator(https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calculator), if i earn £5000 everyday in 1493(Cuntopher Columbus start his slave trading voyage in 1492 i think), i would have £1,825,000, which in today money is roughly £1,813,589,780.47, that's just for a single year.

Kinda made me the richest immortal in the world.
