That bail amount is insane. It would make sense if someone told me that it was a ploy to set a world record. It is a world record.
I am curious to know what parameters the court considered to set bail at this high an amount.

But for that to be effective, the bail amount has to be a substantial portion of your net worth, so that it would actually be painful to lose it. If someone is worth billions and the bail is only $1m or something, they can just shrug it off, so it would be ineffective at compelling appearance.
