Fun Question Time – Just How Rich Is Cale??
This might be a funny question for the Korean readers, but as someone who doesn't use the Korean Won currency on regular basis, those huge numbers with tons of zeros seem pretty abstract. How much money does Cale have???
(I'm sure many people use different currencies, but I decided that US Dollar is the best ones to compare to, internationally. However, keep in mind that the currency constantly changes and fluctuates, so if you check the numbers later on, they might end up out of date.)
Believe it or not, right at the beginning of the novel, we get a clear understanding of how currency works in this world works! We are informed early on that the Roan Kingdom's currency translates to Korean currency roughly 1:1.
Thus:
1 Roan Gallon = 1 bronze coin = 1 Korean Won
Also, this is how the division of coins work:
1 gold coin = 10 silver coin = 100 000 bronze coins
In short:
1 gold coin = 100 000 gallons = ~ 80 US Dollars
When Cale asks Deruth for money, he receives 10 million gallon for an allowance. In other words, that is:
100 gold coins = 1 000 silver coin -> 10 000 000 bronze coins = 10 000 000 Gallons -> 10 000 000 Korean Won = 8 000 US Dollars
...Yeah, you read that right. Cale got freaking 8 thousand dollars as an allowance.
That's more than average American's monthly salary, btw. The Henituse being rich is a freaking understatement.
While in most cases, we don't know how much money Cale gets (from the Magic Tower for example – which he payed 4 million USD for; we got no clue about his profit, but it must have been tens of millions of dollars at least...), we do get the numbers concerning the Caro Kingdom auction!
...Also, it was mentioned that Caro Kingdom currency is slightly more than the Raon Kingdom's:
1 Caro Kingdom Gallon > 1 Raon Kingdom Gallon
With those numbers, how much money did Cale earn in the auction???
1 000 000 000 Caro Gallons > 800 000 USD 23 000 000 000 Caro Gallons > 18 400 000 USD 30 000 000 000 Caro Gallons > 24 000 000 USD
Thus:
53 billion Caro Gallons > 42.4 million dollars
...And that's for a single auction 😅
I think... it's safe to say that Cale Henituse is a billionaire 😂
