I'm very bad with numbers but... that doesn't sound like anything resembling a substantial amount of money for each individual?
Edit: this is confusing me so hard, I just searched for literally "1.8 billion divided by 10 million". It confirmed my own calculation but I am not less confused.
The things some people would do for even 500 bucks would rock your mind.
"Tens of millions" implies a lot less than "500 bucks". Less than 100 even.
