Just a guess, but the point of the question may be to gauge your long-term aspirations and risk tolerance.

If he'd applied to YC, Mark Zuckerberg would probably have answered differently than the Reddit guys, for example.

A former YC founder told me to just put down a number in the 5-10 million range.

I bet this is the best objective measure of someone's "take-over-the-world" factor. If you have the balls to submit an app with $15 billion, you're pretty likely to have the balls to try to get there. The IRL interview'll sort out whether you're crazy smart or crazy dumb.
