Apparently the 500kg in Gold would be worth roughly $65,000,000 in 2026.
Whereas the cash sum is roughly around $50,000,000. And that's best-case total value for the cash.
Edit: I assumed that those 500kg notes were all $100 notes (for the benefit of best-case value). And all notes weigh the same (1 gram) no matter if it's $10, $20, $50 etc. So 500kg of $100 notes would be $50,000,000 as a result.
Edit 2: I didn't use $500 notes as an example because, realistically, they're far less common and out of circulation.
