The G4 didn't come out till 2002.

Apple did some weird fuckery with switching models and specs around that time but Mac G4 towers were definitely being made and shipped in 1999. I think it was a G4 450 or [G4 500] (https://everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_500.html).

But I probably paid way more than I was remembering above, because the 450 ran $2500 new and the 500 was $3500.
