The math seems to be a bit off

$860B / 5000000 people (2013, wikipedia) = $172000

"The fund, worth about $800bn (£483bn), owns 1% of the entire world's stocks, and is big enough to make every citizen a millionaire in the country's currency, the kroner."

$860B USD = 7T KR / 5M people = 1.4M KR each

I'm not sure why you responded to the parent, instead of the grandparent, which first asserted "$1 million" implying dollars.

[stanmancan]

Because the parent was the one I was clarifying for.

I suggest you use "," when writing long numbers -> 5,000,000

This way it's easier to read for the rest of us.

Comma is the decimal separator in many countries (including Norway). ISO and several other standards bodies recommend space for digit grouping: 5 000 000.

Only if 'the rest of us' is located in one of the blue areas:

His point isn't about commas over periods, it is that "5000000" without any delimiters is hard to read.

To be fair, considering China and India are included, I think that's more than half the world population. China, India and the US make up more than 40% of the world population alone, apparently:

(The US is the 3rd most populous country by the Wikipedia hivemind's reckoning. Who knew?)

Sorry about that, I'll keep it in mind for the future :)
