At the end i dig that between 1969 and 1976 he made 250Million+ plus but didnt get that effect during the actual story telling.
Plus you never got the idea he had made a lot of money because nowadays 250 mil really isn't that much compared to 1970's dollars. They showed him buying his mother a nice house which gave a very small indication of just how much money he was making but still like you said it didn't give you that "holy shit" factor.
