Dr. Evil learns about inflation

I was talking to my finance class about purchasing power and inflation yesterday and used the example of Dr. Evil waking up after being frozen for 30 years and demanding a ransom of $1M to not destroy the world and being laughed at, because $1M isn't very much money (even in 1997 when the film came out). Most of them had never seen the movie. So now I am going to subject them to the clip.
