You're telling me there's someone that has more than 20 million dollars? /s

If you're handling people's money you should probably be using arbitrary-precision arithmetic. I mean, you might get away with a long int, but finance is serious business and the amount of data you're going to be processing relative to your funding is probably going to be small.

Not the project I was thinking about above, but at work my team delivered software handling 13 digit numbers, but that's in COBOL which does fine with money
