In GP he was given a case several million dollars worth of gold and jewels.
In SG, he had stored "rows upon rows of closed, Fireproof safes"
And an honorable mention regarding Dragon Hordes:

Interesting, I always wondered what the gift was.. thought it was something more impressive than that.

A dragon hoard is cursed, but what if the treasure is taken after it has passed through multiple hands. The treasure is set to go after thieves, but after a couple dozen transactions, are they still thieves.
I totally see someone using cursed treasure to eliminate others, then reclaim it safely.
There is a common theme of you can't protect yourself from your own energy. I wonder if the curse is best suited to mess with dragons, they would see each other as the greatest competition.
While the curse is sure to be awesome, I still think there would be ways to by pass it. Dresden is always learning secrets that would get him killed so why not one more. We know there are very few true dragons left, 2 I think, so there treasure would be very useful. Not for the wealth, but the artifacts, knowledge and magic they would contain. They might be a treasure hoard, but you can bet, there is enough to make it an armory in the right conditions.
raidem:
You unearthed a woj I hadn't seen about what was the gift to Ferro.
I got a wag that the red court placed their repository in New Mexico at such a dragon hoard location and consequently paid for it. I still wonder if a some time travel plot plants some items or leads in changes to help Harry. He'll, I have two overlayed Harry's talking to Mrs. Spunklecrief. One who just thinks she is a hard of hearing, old lady. Another that views her as a real player giving hints to shape outcomes.
kazimmoinuddin:
It is believed the gift to the dragon was tainted, similar to the athame. If added to the treasure hoard, could it alter the curse on it?

iirc only Harry, Martin, and Susan knew the location of that Red Court vault. Is it standing abandoned in the desert, just waiting for Harry to remember and use it as his personal arcane walmart?
