Everywhere I look, I see $1 billion tossed around like candy in a parade. No one uses $1 million for anything anymore; in fact, a million anything is paltry, peanuts, and unimpressive. It’s just so yesterday, right? Case in point from these headlines and tidbits: • Twitter IPO seeks $1.4 billion • Starbucks fined $2.8 billion • Crocs Market Cap $1.2 billion and seeking price tag of $1.5 billion in leveraged buyout • Hershey net revenue $1.51 billion • U.S. Postal Service Delivers loss of $5 billion • J.P. Morgan and U.S. Reach $13 billion accord • Iranian gas firm driven to bankruptcy with $4 billion debt • Western Union moved $79 billion in cash transfers in 2012
