No, you're supposed to hope that the legal system will apply the law fairly and correctly. The law does NOT say that they can fine you 20 million Euro. The 20 million is an upper limit on a fine, but the law also specifies how that fine is determined, which _by definition_ is "something you can afford", because that's literally one of the factors.
