It was considerably less on appeal and the mcdonalds lawyers didn't anatagonize the court every chance they got and it was literally 30 years ago and there was only one victim.

Just with inflation (6.4m) and number of victims (22?) you get a much larger number real quick.

6.4m * 22 = 140.8m, an entire order of magnitude less.
Sure, and the mcdonalds case was a famously low penalty amount.
