There are two "types" of Billion. Long and short.
A billion in the UK, used to be a million million. However, the Americans, for some unknown reason, decided to call a billion a 1,000 million. Probably so they could be billionaires a lot quicker.
So:
- Long: 1,000,000,000,000
- Short: 1,000,000,000
The long is now hardly used and the short is now the accepted usage.
