The amount demanded by the kidnappers is beyond absurd. While in 1971, $1,000,000 1909 dollars might have been close to $6 million (still an absurd sum for then), in 2020 dollars it comes to approximately $26 million. Not only is that an unrealistic sum, but Martha tells Jake that she has "many times more".Not only is this a ridiculous amount, but there is also no way that any intelligent, responsible ranch owner would have this amount of cash in a strongbox in the attic. The cost of a house fire would have been devastating. It, quite naturally, would have been in a bank.
