I am certain that the actual value of us peons is much lower than 6.9 million dollars and those of our better-birthed bretheren are much higher.

I still think the standard settlement payment for a dead Chinese miner is $5000 though. So from a worldwide perspective we are still pretty expensive commodities(now if we could only bring back the open market on human trading we would have a much better indication of our relative value).
