It depends, usually we got a small decrease in value, like 1%~3%, meaning:
You can buy less with 4million now compared to back than (on avarage).
Like eg, 1939 4million could buy 1000km² of land and in 2020 4million can only buy 700km² (as an example, not real numbers)
Or you got something like a millionaire with 4million back than, is as rich as a millionaire with 6~million.
But as 1939 is the era of WW2 many countries had a huge inflation, meaning prices skyrocket and money lost most of its value (similiar to Venuzuela right now, where money has absolutely no value at all)
So i am not sure how much 4million were back in the days in the USA, in germany 4million had the same value as a slice of moldy bread during that time (or at least a little bit later, in 1940/41ish).
