In different countries they use different systems of naming the large numbers, for example a billion in US would be 1,000,000,000 while in Russia a billion would be 1000 times larger number (and the US billion would be called a "milliard", a word not even used in US). Both ways of naming large numbers make sence, it's just one is used in one part of the world and another in another. So, your question has two answers -

-> 25 billion dollars or 25,000,000,000 if you mean a short scale trillion or

-> 25 thousand billion dollars or 25,000,000,000,000,000 if you mean a long scale trillion.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales for differences of logics behind those systems of naming large numbers.
