When they give $1 proverb

 When they give $1 million to North Dakota for terrorism preparation, that's a million dollars wasted.

 I have 100 billion dollars... You realize I could spend 3 million dollars a day, every day, for the next 100 years? And that's if I don't make another dime. Tell you what-I'll buy your right arm for a million dollars. I give you a million bucks, and I get to sever your arm right here.
  Bill Gates

 Preliminary assessments made give us a figure of around 80 million Namibian dollars (13 million US dollars / 10 million euros).

 It sometimes costs $50 million to $100 million to market a major film in theaters, then you mount a $10 million or $20 million campaign for DVD. They could save tens of millions of dollars per movie.

 Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion suggests. In the minds of politicians, perhaps more than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has this accordion-like ability to expand or contract; if they are disposing of it, the million is a pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational mind.
  Robertson Davies

 A picture will wind up costing $90 million dollars... Well, animation can't stand that. It can't bear the weight of a $90 million dollar budget, because it can't recoup. Then everybody's surprised when it only pulls in $50-$60 million domestic.

 In terms of media and putting money into a campaign, we're a cheap date. Think about what a million dollars will buy you in Montana versus what a million dollars will buy in California.

 I think if you were a gambler and you had a million dollars, you should have gone to Las Vegas and bet a million dollars that Tennessee and Rutgers would meet in the NCAA tournament.

 If you have a choice of spending a million dollars on getting 250,000 new customers, or a million dollars on serving the ones you already have, better, that's a difficult value proposition.

 $20 million in just these past few months is what will go back to the state. We give about $2 million dollars a week back to Arizonans.

 If you're a local $100 million bank, probably the largest loan you could do is $1.5 million dollars. Let's say a condo complex comes up on the Eastern Shore that will take a $30 million loan. That local bank couldn't touch that by itself. But they could take the lead and do the $1.5 million and we could do the rest.

 In recent months, both General Motors and Ford have announced plans to close numerous facilities, eliminating roughly 2.4 million units of North American capacity through 2008. We estimate that once these restructuring initiatives are complete, North American capacity for the 'traditional' Big Three will likely drop below 10 million units, down from over 12.5 million in 2005.

 It has been decided that at the first stage the investment will be $7.5 million for the first demonstration of work. On the whole, up to $100 million need to be invested. Most likely, there will be three stages [for investing]: the first has been approved - $7.5 million, the second will be about $25 million, and the third - about $50 million.

 Nobody in TV makes as much money as Robert Redford, who likes to make movies for several million dollars only on the condition that they contain some sort of social message. I cannot take very seriously a social message delivered by an actor who is paid nine million dollars to deliver it, and who charges you five dollars to see it.
  David Brinkley

 Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it. Anybody who has stood on the prairie in North Dakota has felt the force of the wind and knows that our state has an inexhaustible supply of wind power. The potential here to create jobs and draw millions of dollars in new investment to North Dakota is enormous.
