According to a study, it costs a lot to raise a kid in today's America

"The company found that the average annual essential cost to raise a kid rose nearly 20% (19.3% nationally) between 2016 and 2021, the latest year for which complete data was available.

According to the study, Families are projected to spend $237,482 over 18 years to raise a child."

So, using today's figure of $237,482 over 18 years to raise a child, 172 kids would cost you $40,846,904. But, given inflation, you would be out a lot more money.
