According to Movieclips, the real-life cost of being the Star-Spangled Man would be somewhere around $54,609,201.60.

When adjusting variable costs for inflation - considering that Cap was frozen for 70 years - the number grows to $54,977,922.05.

That's the total for super-serum, three various red-white-and blue outfits, and his 12 lbs. vibranium shield - which at 10 grand a gram, comes out to $54,431,100 alone.

Here are the various prices that make up America's first Avenger:

Captain America's super-solider metabolism is four times the average human meaning he eats four times as much. That would make Steve Rogers' annual grocery bill $25,772.

However, Captain America makes some money also. If he bought a typical amount of war bonds back during World War II, he would have $3,600. Also his S.H.I.E.L.D. salary is most likely around $100,000 a year.
