11.4 bln is 100 mln away from 11.5 bln. I'm not sure "so close" is correct here.
If a man worth 11.5 billion loses 100 million, it affects him less than you or I losing a thousand. In fact it doesn't affect him.
So you're a billionaire and one is not different from the other for you, gotcha.
59 seconds is 1000000000000 pico seconds away from a minute, so I'm not sure you could say 59 seconds is "so close" to a minute.
There are far more seconds in your life than hundreds of millions dollars.
And there are far more dollars in 11 billion than 100 million.
