I think he confused the us billion (10⁹) with the german billion (10¹²) ;)

  What? So what do German use for 10^9, Milliarden? In French we use Milliard for billion and Trilliard for Trillions (and millions for millions).

    yep. Millionen, Milliarden, Billionen, Billiarden, Trillionen, Trilliarden

    Wow, French living in Germany for over 10 years, never realized that Billion meant something else here. I guess I'm not rich enough, ahah.
