What's Nine Billion Dollars?

What’s Nine Billion Dollars?
Wow, if counted one by one with a speed of a fourth of a second, it would take us about 75 years counting, that is to say non-stop, 24 hours a day without sleep and other activities.
 
Were it connected, each dollar note with one another in a row, it would reach nearing 2 million Km or a journey of 450 times around the world.
 
If packed of 100 banknotes one upon the other, it would be more than 10 Mount Everest high.
 
Provided, were I not very wrong in calculating this. So said someone.
 
Opa Johan comments:
 
Oh, it’s only nine billion US Dollars that’s in question about our late President Suharto, moreover not yet proved to be so before the court.
 
It can never buy one’s peace, health, happiness, love, isn’t it? Besides, if we compare it with the atrocities, million murders, crimes of war.
 
Well such huge crimes are well worth questioning.
