1,000,000,000; one thousand million, in the short scale is a billion and is in general use in American and British English.
1,000,000,000,000; one million million, is a billion in the long scale. It's also one trillion in the short scale. It has been used in British English.
To the best of my knowledge, the short scale is the one that is used in the international scientific community, which of course includes Astronomy and Space Exploration.

The response doesn't account for interest accumulated. At 1% APR, he would passively gain $85 million per year, and that's a very conservative number, considering the number of people who want to invest with his massive $85 billion. He could probably command an interest rate of 3-5% pretty easily. Supposing he gets that 5% APR (in just one lump investment, completely undiversified, nothing invested in stock portfolios, nada), he would passively earn 1/2 a billion dollars every year.
It's probably a more complex calculation than $85 billion - $10 million every day.
