My final calculations: $283,200.

Heres how:

Total first round: 17,800. You get all questions right.
The daily double is under the "100" amount. You double
it. 9000 total possible, minus the 100, 8900 x2=17800.

You take that amount into double jeopardy but don't
hit the DJ until last 2 questions and they're both
under the "200". 18,000 minus 400 =17,600+17800-35,400.
Hit the first DJ and double it: 35,400x2=70,400.
Hit the next DJ and double it=140,800. Hit final jeopardy
and double it:281,600. Something like that. My figures
come out different everytime I do it.

Jeezz...
