Someone on Yahoo Answers claims the volume of one bill is .09 cu in. 532 cu ft is 919296 cu in. 919296/.09 = 10214400 bills.

A one hundred dollar bill is about .09^3 inches. I'm too lazy to do the rest of the math from there.

1) 532 ft³ = 15.0645 m³ Source: http://www.metric-conversions.org/cgi-bin/util/convert.cgi 2) volume of the bill: v ~ 6 cm × 15 cm × 10^−2 cm = 1 cm^3 = 10^-6 m^3 Source: http://www.princeton.edu/~dbaumann/Teaching/Estimation.pdf 3) Number of bills: 15.0645 / 10^-6 = 15,064,500 bills Worth: $ 1,506,450,000

If we can trust the statistics on this website ("Bill Gates' Net Worth Page") -- http://evan.snew.com/ecgi/gates.cgi?02161387141927416491085250503510801#Volume then in one cubic foot there are 24,605.90 dollar bills. One dollar bills are identical in volume to hundred-dollar bills. Therefore, in 532 cubic feet, there should be 13,090,338.80 hundred-dollar bills.
