          A million million is an order of magnitude more than that.

          1,000,000 x 1,000,000 =1,000,000,000,000

          (1,000,000,000) is a billion for comparison)

          The number x 400 would be like 400 trillion which I think is more than the gdp of the entire world.

              I’ve done it a bunch of times myself… working with millions and billions of something is kind of in another realm that is difficult for us to conceptualize… trillions and quadrillions even more so…

              Like when you look at the graphs that show what a billion dollars really is… a millionaire is closer to the wealth of a vagrant bum than he is to a billionaire to a very large degree….
