Wouldn't it be 102,500,273.15 Kelvin, including inflation?

Why do you think that?

Accounting for inflation from 1913, which is actually after Lord Kelvin died, but it's not a terrible approximation, we get about a 2998% inflation.

But that's just with USD.

It'd actually be more realistic to use the British pound. So, accounting for inflation from 1909, it'd be about 10,109,866,311.27 GBP. That'd actually end up at around 12,479,618,974.63 USD, about 6 times my original value.

Because the court case is from 2014.

That would be like accounting for the Earth's position in 1666 to calculate where orbital bodies are now. The measurements and laws may have been discovered in past times, but the calculations don't get pinned to those dates.
