No, you misread that pretty significantly. They're only talking about splitting up the punitive damages.
Using the tesla numbers you'd get somewhere between 43 and 129 million dollars personally, plus a share of the 200 million. And your share of the 200 million would probably be a lot higher than someone merely defrauded. And the 200 million would probably get a lot bigger in a proper class action.
If you want numbers for your theoretical you'll have to specify how much was compensatory and how much was punitive.
