Not familiar with the abbreviation. Thought $100M meant $100 million did not know it meant $100 billion.
Also:
What does M mean for money?
If we wanted to denote millions, we would show that as MM. For this, we should credit the Romans.
M is the Roman numeral for thousand and MM is meant to convey one thousand-thousand — or million.
To take it further; one billion would be shown as $1MMM or one-thousand million.
But, in more modern times: Abbreviated Forms
Number | North America | Rarer Forms |
thousand | K | thsnd(.), M |
million | M | mil(.), mill(.), mln(.), MM |
billion | B | bil(.), bill(.), bln(.) |
trillion | T | tril(.), trill(.), trn(.), tln(.) |
