I didn't downvote you, but MM in Roman numerals is million. It is also common enough to represent roman numerals in lowercase that mm, as used here, is totally valid.

Actually, MM in Roman numerals is 2,000, not a million.
You’re right. Don’t know what I was thinking. Guess it’s an accounting only thing
Million is M, not mm or MM or M&M
I believe some parts of the world, particularly in Europe, interpret $500M as $500 * 10^3 (not $500 * 10^6)...So some use $500MM to universally avoid this confusion
mm and MM are very common ways express "million" in finance.
M, mm, MM all mean the same thing.
Thousand is M.
