Best Answer

At today's exchange rates £1 = US$1.38

So any amount in pounds is worth 38% more in pure numbers of American dollars.

Historically a British billion was one million million while a US billion was one thousand million. Now however UK usage has changed to match the US usage and one billion in the UK is also one thousand million.
