At the film's start we see the coat's invoice as $58,000.

I just checked one of the online inflation tables and $58,000 in 1937 has a 2016 value of $979,889.29. Stalin could have built a whole tractor factory financed by Mrs Ball.

But Stalin saved a bundle on personnel costs by using slave labor.
