If it were genuine it would be worth a considerable amount above its face value, but private ownership of real $100,000 bills is illegal. 42,000 such notes were printed for transferring large amounts of cash inside the Federal Reserve System and were never put into general circulation. When they became obsolete all but a handful were destroyed while the remaining few were saved by the government. One's in the Smithsonian collection, for example. All of them are accounted for.
The market has been flooded with fakes, especially in the Philippines, that are sold to unsuspecting people who think they can make a killing by purchasing a "rare, previously-unknown bill from a private hoard" or some other false claim. The only person to get rich is the scammer.
