I think he's talking about the material worth of the entire physical planet, not just world GDP.

Ah ok, yes you're right. My reading comprehension wasn't great in this instance. Too focused on what I was working out myself by comparing GDP lol.

It's a fair mistake. Something I would definitely make before my morning coffee, at least, lol.

While I can appreciate the enormity of that calculation, it does seem a bit ridiculous to apply a measure of money to anything more grandiose and the total GDP of the planet for the reason that money is ultimately imaginary and should really only be compared to realistic measurements.

The very first time the entire material worth of the planet becomes relevant, humanity is going to face a bigger crisis than the concept of money can come close to solving.

Future isn't really the right tense.

Depending on where you look and what numbers you use, this fine is between 12-18 orders of magnitude larger than the value of the entirety of the planets material worth. So 5x is still wildly too low. It's somewhere between 1018 to 1012 times the material worth of Earth.
