Tom Scott did a video on this, "A Million Dollars vs A Billion Dollars, Visualized: A Road Trip":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg

The length of one million USD is about the distance of a US football field or UK football pitch (which he demonstrates walking in a parking lot).

The length of one billion USD is driving over an hour at a speed of 100 kph (55 mph), the rest of the video.
