Someone claimed Andrew Carnegie would have been worth around 189.6 billion in today's money.

Measure the string. Alternative Method to measure the height of a flagpole. Limitation: Tape measure length needs to be as long as the pole. If not, use above method. Equipment: Tape measure & Duct tape. 1. Lower your flag. 2. Attach a tape measure with duct tape to the top snap hook at the top of your flag. 3. Raise the rope until the snap hook reaches the top of the pole. 4. Let the tape measure land at the base of the flagpole.
For small flags such as those you might mount at home, your pole should be on the shorter side. For example, a flag that measures 3 feet by 5 feet needs at least a 15-foot pole. A 20- to 25-foot pole is appropriate for a flag that is 4 feet by 6 feet. The pole size should continue to increase based on the flag size. A 50-foot pole works for a flag that measures 10 feet by 15 feet, while a 75- to 100-foot pole is necessary for a flag that is 15 feet by 25 feet.
