P.T. Barnum's net worth at the time of his death in 1891 was estimated to be around $40 million, which would be equivalent to approximately $1.2 billion today when adjusted for inflation. Barnum was a successful showman, businessman, and founder of the circus that became the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. His wealth was derived from various ventures, including his famous museum and circus attractions. However, he faced financial difficulties at times, notably declaring bankruptcy in 1856 before later recovering his fortune.
