Another way to see the huge difference between $1m and $1b:
Let's say you made $1/second (which is an insanely good salary, $3600/hr), and you earned this not just business hours, but 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Earning $1m would take you less than 12 days. Earning $1b would take you over 31 years.

It would take them 20 years to make $1B through wages alone at 50M/yr. I'll guess that number hasn't gone up much, since compensation in stock is far better than simple cash in these situations.
