As for amounts, the Guardian cited one attendee at the taskforce meeting who put the number at $350,000 per person: "Max Fennell, a 35-year-old coffee company owner, said every person should get $350,000 in compensation to close the racial wealth gap and Black-owned businesses should receive $250,000, which would help them to flourish."

He added, "It’s a debt that’s owed, we worked for free. We’re not asking; we’re telling you."

The task force's economic consultant team estimated California would pay $223,200 per person in early December.
