Detailed explanation-1: -Is there a point where the money you’re worth makes you less than a person? Captain Andrew Speedy certainly thinks so. Phileas Fogg offered him $2, 000 a head to take his crew across the Atlantic.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the novel, Fogg bet fellow members of the Reform Club he could go around the world in 80 days. His winning bet of 20, 000 pounds–then worth about $96, 000–would be worth 619, 600 pounds, or $1.13 million in today’s money.
