A rough indication of the cost of the construction of the Taj Mahal can be gained by comparing the price of gold at the time of building and the price of gold now: The total cost of the Taj Mahal's construction was about 32 million rupees.[citation needed] At that time, 1 gram of gold was sold for about 1.4 rupees.[citation needed] Based on the October 2005 gold price that would translate to more than 300 million US$. Interpretation of such a comparison of the value of gold must take into account the multifarious differences in the two different economic eras

The work of 20,000 artisans went into the building of the Taj Mahal. Millions of dollars as well. I remember reading about it in World Cultures class, but can't pinpoint the exact dollar amount. Try a search on the internet. That may be helpful. Look up "Taj Mahal/ construction."

This story is NOT known to many, but I feel that it should be told.The cost was very,very high. You see, my ancestor, HA BIB Vasquez was working on that very same building. When ever the supplies would arrive, 'ole ha bib Vasquez would sneak some of them out the back of the building. He would sell them to the SHEIKS for liquor and woman. That is why ha bib Vasquez is not welcomed there to this day!!!!!
