Quick note, that's the English term, where Billlion is 109. A lot other countries use the so called "Long Scale" where 109 is called Milliard, and Billion is 1012.
Comparison of the 2 scales from Wikipedia:
Power of 10 American English (Short Scale) European English (Long Scale) 106 Million Million 109 Billion Milliard 1012 Trillion Billion 1015 Quadrillion Billiard 1018 Quintillion Trillion 1021 Sextillion Trilliard The last couple kind of lost me. The total value of a movie franchise isn’t a very useful context number nor is the cost of building a space suit. Or maybe that’s the point, that at that level there aren’t really relatable things to compare.
