- heeton 4y agoIf MM were million-million, that would mean OP destroyed $50-100 trillion dollars. About the GDP of the entire world. So it probably doesn't mean million-million ;)
- delaaxe 4y agoMM is million
- sokoloff 4y agoIt’s a common abbreviation for million in finance. (It’s closer to the M is 1000 in Roman numerals than to the stacked SI prefix usage.)
- LtdJorge 4y agoHowever, for Romans, MM would mean 2000 :D
- Hinrik 4y agoIn finance, MM is a shorthand for millions: https://www.orsurety.com/blog/is-it-m-for-thousand-and-mm-for-million-or-k-for-thousand-and-m-for-million-im-asking-for-a-friend https://www.orsurety.com/blog/is-it-m-for-thousand-and-mm-fo...
- adastra22 4y agoWeird to call it a shorthand when M means the same thing ;)

- kevincox 4y agoBut France has been on metric for a long time.
- ItsTooMuch 4y agoYeah, but they counted money for even longer time
- throw0101c 4y agoMM is for mille-mille (French?), thousand-thousand, so 1000-1000 or 1-000-000.
