OK...so 229,216,000 "adults."

If we gave EVERYONE in this demographic $1,000,000. Yes, ONE MILLION DOLLARS. It would only add up to 2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS.

The author's math is off. It would add up to 229 trillion dollars.

That is what I was thinking. Very large numbers, but I think your math is accurate. :)
