David Letterman mentioned that Qaddhafi has 144 tons of gold.
So, if this is true using U.S. short tons this is equal to 144 tons=288,000 pounds=4,608,000 ounces
The U.S. price of gold today is:
$1432.51
So, to get the value of 144 tons of gold we multiply 1432.51 times 4,608,000 which equals=
$6,601,006,080.00 or six billion six hundred and one million six thousand and 80 dollars.
Though you can certainly buy a lot with this, he likely is buying mercenaries and weapons on the black market right now which won't be good for anyone even him.
