Speaking on VIBE with FIVE, Joel Beya said: "Look at the prices now... do you know what I mean, 30 mil today..."
Ferdinand replied: "I was 30 mil back in the day."
Stephen Howson then referenced a study examining previous transfers based on inflation, stating: "21 years ago. I think you're the second or third highest, they've adjusted for inflation.
"I think it's Shearer's the highest and then yours is like the second or third highest.
"I think you're 100 mil plus now with inflation."
The former England international continued by revealing his worth in today's transfer market and he didn't hold back.
"100 mil will be cheap mate. Serious, in today's market... 170 mil... 400k-a-week. That's what I'll be now. I would be that now," he confidently said.
