Here's one puzzle I came across. Haven't been able to solve it yet. Can anyone help?


Puzzle:

When my uncle died he left a will instructing his executors to divide his estate of $1,920,000 in this manner. Every son gets 3 times as much as a daughter, and that every daughter should get 2 times as much as their mother.
What is my aunts share?


My first answer was 213 hundred thousand plus something, but it doesn't seem to be right, probably. And does "my aunt = their mother" ?
