The Staggering Price Tag of NYC's Rockefeller Center

Video Overview & Insights

From Radio City Music Hall to '30 Rock,' Rockefeller Center was a construction project befitting of the city's ambition. But its build was an epic affair - and came with an eye-watering price tag.

250 million is 2 million in todays money?? 😂😂

30 Rockefeller Center opened as the RCA Building. The RKO Building was the first to open, not Radio City Music Hall. $250,000,000.00 was always an inflated number. Metropolitan Life issued a loan for the construction.
