It'd be around 80 billion dollars, actually

[pgrulich]

I think he confused the us billion (10⁹) with the german billion (10¹²) ;)

[mratsim]

What? So what do German use for 10^9, Milliarden?

In French we use Milliard for billion and Trilliard for Trillions (and millions for millions).

[tilolebo]

Wow, French living in Germany for over 10 years, never realized that Billion meant something else here.

I guess I'm not rich enough, ahah.

[detaro]

yep. Millionen, Milliarden, Billionen, Billiarden, Trillionen, Trilliarden

[linjus]

but he used "billions" correctly in the first sentence

[siegfried-en]

Yeah, that's probably it!
