I get so tired of listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there. It's so petty.

Behind the line

What it means

The speaker describes repeated million-dollar talk as tiresome and petty. That assessment sets the apparent scale of the sums against the low importance she gives the discussion. The contrast is striking, but the words do not establish her own wealth or explain why the talk irritates her.
