To be fair, you're never going to need anything beyond 万. Maybe rarely 億 or 兆. But probably not. I mean, unless you're having a very educated discussion about some scientific data, when the heck are you going to need 100M or 1T? Heck, I only know 一、十、百、千、万、億、兆、京 (1;10;100;1000;10,000;100M;1T;10 Quadrillion).

Outside of talking about disk storage space, I never talk about numbers that large unless I'm referring to population of a country. And that's rare. This is likely why I was not taught beyond 億 in school; I might have only been taught up to 万...
