An unscientific Google Books search brings up a use of it from 1967. It is probably older, but let’s run with that. If we pop that into Wolfram Alpha, we see that we should be saying “I feel like 7.4 million bucks” due to inflation.

So next time someone proclaims, “I feel like a million bucks!”, your response should be, “I’m sorry to hear that. Is something the matter?”
