50 Cent sued for 2.1 billion cents

How do people pick the amount of money they sue for in these cases? This is something I have always wondered.

In what world is being slammed down worth 21 million?

Someone who has the wrong leg amputated is lucky to get a couple million. This guy is probably a bit roughed up and he wants 21 million. Clearly the amount requested is controlled by what the defendant is worth, but it's just so random.

Why do people even ask for this much? For the press? What?
