Got curious about dowries after watching Bridgerton and now i can't stop thinking about the money lol. 18000 pounds in the 1820s was roughly $2500000 in today's money. With that you could buy multiple homes, a massive estate, a carriage and literally live off the interest for the rest of your life.

No wonder a good marriage could save a gentleman's entire financial situation. And then it hit me, the Bridgertons have already married off two daughters with dowries like that and still have two more lined up. How loaded is this family exactly?? 🤔💰
