25 years ago. $4 is a helluva lot more in 1991 in today's dollars.

Everyone agrees that the $55M will not stand up. But as for the comment she did this to advance her career? Good Lord. She is a public figure in the sporting world & covers multiple sports all over the country. Imagine if your daughter or sister was in her shoes & every time she entered an arena, she had to hear the obscene chants that she described in her testimony. Basically causing her to relive the mental trauma over & over again. A Marriott exec was caught on tape a few nites before the verdict was reached as saying at a dinner table with friends, while showing a tape of it:" I'm going to have to pay her millions, I mite as well see her naked". Pretty much shows us what Marriott's perspective was all bout.

Settlement was in 94, right under 60% actual inflation= barely 6 million today. I wish these weren't easily researchable facts. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/
