It's interesting how the definition of millionaire has changed. It used to be someone with a net worth of a million dollars. 

It made me curious. $1,000,000 in 2020 is equivalent, using standard inflation, to

$100,031.55 in 1951
$113,882.07 in 1960
$149,277.85 in 1970
$317,023.06 in 1980
$502,850.90 in 1990

Looked at the other way, a million dollars in 1970 is about $6,698,917.53 in 2020.
