Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, often considered the first mechanical computer, was never completed during his lifetime, so it didn't have a definitive cost. However, estimates suggest that the total investment in the project, including materials and labor, would have been in the range of several thousand pounds in the 19th century, equivalent to millions today. The financial backing for the project largely came from Babbage's own funds and some government support.
