How much did president Jefferson send James Monroe to Paris to purchase the city of New Orleans For in 1803?

He didn't necessarily send Monroe with any money. Jefferson was just granted $10,000,000. Jefferson then told James Monroe to France to negotiate the purchase of New Orleans, at that time called The Territory of Orleans. The king was insulted by Monroe's first offer.( I can't recall the first offer.) The king sent him away, and then Monroe allowed a few days for the king to cool down. Then the king decided he wanted to sell all of the territory. That's how The Louisiana Purchase came about. Monroe offered $15,000,000 for it all.
