If you assume the time of the movie it's around $400. If it's the time of the book closer to $500. Either way Holly's getting in to the back seat asap.

I was thinking the same thing. That's a lot of change.
shareYou do understand that she is a call girl?
shareCall-girl as in prostitute? No, she wasn't. She didn't have sex for money. She was a socialite who dated wealthy men, but she didn't engage in sex for money. She gave just companionship for money. The author of the book even said:
Capote: Holly Golightly was not precisely a callgirl. She had no job, but accompanied expense-account men to the best restaurants and night clubs, with the understanding that her escort was obligated to give her some sort of gift, perhaps jewelry or a check ... if she felt like it, she might take her escort home for the night. So these girls are the authentic American geishas, and they're much more prevalent now than in 1943 or 1944, which was Holly's era.
The correct term in New York is "hoo-wah"
