"At least 300 million euros ($339 million) have been pledged so far to help rebuild the Notre Dame Cathedral, which nearly burned to the ground on Monday. French billionaire Bernard Arnault and his conglomerate LVMH have pledged 200 million euros, according to The Associated Press, and François-Henri Pinault, another French billionaire, said he and his family would donate 100 million euros, according to Buzzfeed."

And from what I understand from the news, the stone structures are almost all still intact. The wood roof and interior were destroyed.

One million seconds is under 12 days, one billion seconds is over 31 years.

So... ε300,000,000 is 31 years of money.

Gotcha.
