That Australian number seems inflated by property. People bought houses 40 years ago for a handshake and a nod and now the houses are "worth" 2 million dollars or whatever. But if you sell your house you need to buy another one and they come in 2 sizes: million dollar family home or million dollar shoebox studio in the city.

So it's monopoly money.
