If you got 10 bucks for every million towards billionaires you’d actually be a millionaire. The ratio was more like a cent for every million.

I think they mean $999,990 goes to person A and $10 goes to person B.

If you want to create one (1) millionaire that way you would need to spend $999,000,000,000. Imagine how that would look with 1 cent to every million.

Are the two of you even talking about the same data? Maybe you spread the $10 over 1,000 people to get to that number of $0,01.
