Or 1,300,000,000 if you're European (our billion is a thousand million instead of the million million like North America uses).

But either way, that seems like an unlikely amount of money...

Whoa, is this true? I mean, the word billion has different number between 2 regions? Isn't this going to be confusing in the monetary or economic market?

Billion has indeed two different meanings depending on region. And no, in practice there isn't much confusion made by it.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales for a good description of the two systems.

As far as I'm aware... As an American, this is how I visualize 1.3 billion too.

Ditto. Never heard of this supposed Billion/Trillion confusion.

1,000 = Thousand
1,000,000 = Million
1,000,000,000 = Billion
1,000,000,000,000 = Trillion
1,000,000,000,000,000 = Quadrillion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = Quintillion
etc.

We DO still use the English measuring system, which is pretty sad, I'll grant you...

No, that's 1.3 billion here too. The person you quoted put too many zeroes on theirs. They wrote 1.3 trillion.

Countries where the long scale is currently used include most countries in continental Europe and most French-speaking, Spanish-speaking,[3] and Portuguese-speaking countries except Brazil.

They are probably European :P

I'm very confused.

I just know I'm from the UK (which is in Europe) and 1.3 billion here is 1,300,000,000 and 1.3 trillion is 1,300,000,000,000.

But I think we're very off-topic now :S

You're right one billion is 1,300,000,000. Varies from country to country too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
