Approximately 4.76 guineas.
The guinea is an old British monetary unit that's no longer in use*. It was equivalent to 21 shillings, or £1.05 in modern decimal currency. 5 / 1.05 = 4.76, roughly.
(*) For various historical reasons guineas eventually were used to express prices of posh, upmarket items while everything else was in pounds and pence. Even though the denomination has been out of use for many decades, extremely high-end goods may very occasionally have prices shown in guineas to express just how limited and special they (supposedly) are.

How much is 100 guineas in pounds?
A "guinea" is an old British term for one pound plus one shilling, pre Britain's change in 1971 to decimal currency. Pre 1971 pounds were split into shillings and pence. There were 20 shillings in a pound and 12 pence in each shilling. There were therefore 240 pence in a pre-decimal pound. A shilling is 1/20 of a pound. Therefore 100 guineas = 100 pounds +5 pounds.= 105 pounds. At todays exchange rate of 0.643030 pounds to the dollar, this would convert to $163.290.
