No, actually. With money the only thing that matters is the degree of change, not the simple number.
The change from 1 million to 2 million is much more important than the change from 99 million to 100 million.
Try an experiment: take a calculator or a spreadsheet. In one case start with 1000 then keep doubling it. In the other start with 1 million and keep adding 1 million.
