Oh no, I mean based on my current income. If I made 10m less than I make now, I'd make about -10m. My yearly income is about 54k, or 0.054m, so subtracting 10m would get me to -9.946m.
I was trying to make a joke about how much 10m is for the average person, yet it's rather minor when you're already making 200m.
In fact, I'd be very much happy to make just those 10m, I don't even need the 200m, nor would I need it more than once. A one-off sum of 10m would be more than enough to solve a lot of my problems and still have plenty left to be ready for future preparations.
But 10m out of 210m is ~5%. In your case 10m is ~2000% so you can't really compare it. If you do want to compare it, it's like you would loose ~5% out of your yearly salary, so 2.7k out of 54k. The question is, would you prefer to trade in 5% of your income for human safety, or do you prefer people to die?
My point is that ridiculous difference. 10m is a lot of money, yet these people wouldn't actually lose much because what they have left is still so obscenely much more.
