Can someone please invent time travel, already? Until then, you can travel back to 1557 by watching Reign, premiering Thursday, October 17, 9/8c only on The CW.

Let's play a game called: "How rich would you be at your current salary in the year 1557?"

By finding a $100 bill on the ground, you would have the buying power of $26,700.

Earning $2,000 annually from various babysitting jobs would grant you the buying power of $534,000.

If you lie in bed for two months, NASA will pay you $10,000. That would give you the buying power of $2,700,000.

A fast food employee making $18,000/yr would have the buying power of $4,800,000.

A social media wizard raking in $30,000/yr would have the buying power of over $8,000,000. #DollaDollaBills

If you're a librarian earning $55,000/yr shushing people all day, you'd have the buying power of $14,700,000.

So you're a big shot financial analyst making $84,000/yr? You would have the buying power of $22,400,000.

Doctors who are earning $500,000/yr would have the buying power of $133,600,000.

If you're the richest person in the world with $73 billion, you'd finally have some spending money with a buying power of $19 trillion. GO YOU!
