Million vs Billion: What's the Difference?Added:
You want to know the difference between a million and a billion? Cuz it can be hard to get a perspective on it, right?
They both just sound like big numbers.
They both rhyme with zillion. Here's a bit of perspective. If for whatever reason somebody gave you a hundred thousand dollars every day of your life, starting Monday, you would have a million dollars by the following Wednesday. Conversely, if somebody gave you a hundred thousand dollars every day of your life, weekends, holidays, every day of your life, they gave you a hundred thousand dollars for 25 years, you still wouldn't have a billion dollars. Bit of a difference, right? Now consider the fact that there are some people out there for whom a hundred billion dollars is apparently not enough. You got to at some point squirrel away some of those dollars for therapy, right?
